A leaked document has revealed a list of unusual hotel demands made by Arsenal Football Club during their stays for away matches. The detailed list, which surfaced online, includes a mix of extravagant, highly specific, and even personal requests that have raised eyebrows among fans and hotel staff alike.
Among the more peculiar demands is the requirement for rooms to be kept at exactly 21°C, with blackout curtains ensuring absolute darkness for optimal player recovery. The document also specifies that certain players must have their own custom pillows and that the team’s chefs must have full control over the hotel kitchen for meal preparations.
Some requests seem to cater to individual superstitions, such as a demand for a particular brand of bottled water for specific players and a designated “quiet zone” on the hotel floor to avoid any distractions. One notable personal request includes ensuring that a certain player’s favorite childhood snack is stocked in their room at all times.
While such demands aren’t unusual for elite sports teams, the level of detail in Arsenal’s hotel preferences has amused fans and drawn comparisons to rockstar tour riders. The club has yet to comment on the leaked document, but insiders suggest that these measures are part of Arsenal’s meticulous approach to performance optimization.
What do you think—are these requests justified for top-tier athletes, or has Arsenal taken things too far?
