Arsenal FC Announces Reality Dating Show
With reality dating shows like "Love Island," "Love is Blind," and "Temptation Island" thriving in all parts of the world, it seems like Arsenal FC is stepping into the reality dating show business.
This month, the English soccer club announced that it would be hosting an Arsenal-themed dating show called "The Big Match," which will match single supporters of the team through blind dates.
The catch is that instead of conventional date settings, the "dates" in the show will take place in the club's Emirates Stadium home in London.
"Matchdays at Emirates Stadium are a time to connect with the beautiful game – and each other," the team wrote in a promotion on its official website. "It’s for this reason that we’re launching a new dating show that celebrates how a shared love of football can prove a catalyst for an even deeper romance."
"We are calling on our single supporters in the UK to apply to be part of the production, which will involve attending a blind date with a fellow Gooner centred around an Arsenal game."
The club is calling for anyone eligible who wants the "opportunity of meeting your perfect match" to complete an application form. The opportunity is open to all United Kingdom residents over the age of 18. Applications close on April 11.
We'll have to see whether or not any of the Arsenal fans find love united around their favorite football club.
