Arsenal kicked off the new English football season by claiming the FA Community Shield, defeating FA Cup holders Manchester City 3-0 in Cardiff. This victory marks Arsenal's 18th title in the competition, their first since 2023, and eighth of the 21st century.

Manchester City, who have won the shield seven times, were unable to overcome the absence of their long-serving manager Pep Guardiola. His successor, Enzo Maresca, faces a challenging task ahead. City's Erling Haaland was largely contained throughout the match.

Arsenal established their dominance early, scoring within 24 seconds and holding a 2-0 lead by halftime. They sealed the win at the start of the second half. The goals were scored by Riccardo Calafiori, Kai Havertz, and Martin Odegaard.

The English Premier League season is set to begin on August 21st. Slovenia will be represented by Benjamin Šeško, whose Manchester United side will play Hull City away, and Jaka Bijol, whose Leeds United will travel to Nottingham. Both matches are scheduled for Saturday, August 22nd.
