According to British media outlet Mirror, Arsenal cancelled its pre-match press conference for the Champions League match against Napoli due to widespread flight delays caused by an air traffic control issue in London, United Kingdom.

Mirror reported that Arsenal experienced major travel disruptions on its journey from London to Naples. Like hundreds of other travellers, the travel plans for the entire Arsenal squad were affected by flight delays at Gatwick and Heathrow airports. It is understood that a technical failure in the air traffic control system occurred near the two London airports.

Due to the flight delays, Arsenal would not be able to reach Naples in time and therefore could not attend the pre-match press conference as originally scheduled. However, the relevant UEFA regulations also clearly state that if unforeseeable circumstances force a team to alter pre-match arrangements, the plans can be adjusted.

FIFA's official rules state: "Clubs may only alter arrangements for the day before the match (MD-1) if affected by force majeure and with UEFA's consent."

Arsenal will face Napoli away at the Diego Maradona Stadium at 3:00 AM Beijing time (8:00 PM CEST) on 10 September.
