Christian musician to headline Arsenal victory parade

by Anna Rees Green

The frontman of contemporary UK jazz band Ezra Collective will join Arsenal’s football squad at Sunday’s victory parade.

A convoy of buses, featuring the Arsenal men’s and women’s teams, will travel from the Emirates Stadium to Finsbury Park, circling towards Angel and Holloway Road.

Femi Koleoso, drummer and lead of Ezra Collective, is headlining the event's music. Koleoso is a committed Christian and attends Jubilee Church London. Faith sits at the heart of Ezra Collective's music, which weaves gospel and jazz with contemporary beats. 

 

Arsenal's men’s team will stand atop the first bus celebrating their Premier League win, the first since 2004 - as well as a possible UEFA Champions League win depending on the outcome of Saturday's final against Paris Saint-Germain.

The women’s team will be celebrating their FIFA Champions Cup win this season. 

Throughout the Premier League season, Arsenal's men's squad have been dubbed the "Bible brothers" due to the faith of several players. Bukayao Saka, Jurriën Timber, Eberechi Eze and Gabriel Jesus have all spoken openly about their strong Christian faith and the impact it has on their lives as professional footballers.

Manager Mikel Arteta described the Christian influence on the team as "phenomenal", saying: “I love it because I think that connects them more. The fact that some of them have the same beliefs or strong beliefs about that helps their well-being and mental side."
