Arsenal and Tottenham, North London`s biggest rivals, are scheduled to play a pre-season friendly match abroad.
The two teams will face each other at the newly built Kai Tak Stadium in Hong Kong on July 31st.
This match marks the first time the North London Derby will be played outside of the United Kingdom.
The game is set to start at 7:30 PM local Hong Kong time, which means fans in the UK will need to tune in at 12:30 PM to watch it live.
While many fans usually anticipate the North London Derby each season, this decision to move it overseas has been met with disappointment by a significant number of supporters.
One fan expressed their disapproval, calling it "a disgrace" and "pathetic."
Another fan questioned the environmental impact, sarcastically asking if the clubs would be "tweeting about zero emissions again next week" after travelling such a long distance for a friendly.
A third fan simply stated that "the game has officially gone."
A Tottenham supporter questioned the logic of playing a friendly against their rivals, asking to "make it make sense."
However, some fans welcomed the announcement.
One excited supporter exclaimed, "MY TEAM IS FINALLY BACK TO HK!"
Another fan confirmed their attendance, writing, "I WILL BE THERE."
In their league encounters this season, Arsenal won both matches against Tottenham.
Arsenal secured a 1-0 victory at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in September and followed it up with a 2-1 win at the Emirates Stadium in January.
