HA NOI (VNS)—"Running man" Vu Xuan Tien will be in the stands at the Emirates Stadium to watch the Emirates Cup football tournament that features Porto of Portugal, Galatasaray of Turkey, Napoli of Italy and the host, Arsenal.

Tien has been officially invited by the club's French manager, Arsene Wenger.

The young man was unexpectedly thrown into the spotlight and made headline news after he made an 8km run to catch the Arsenal coach and team as they drove around Ha Noi for sightseeing.

Tien said that he would use this chance to introduce Vietnamese Premier league fans by bringing with him Vietnamese symbols like flags and silk scarves.

Tien will take a flight from Ha Noi via HCM City, to London, England, today. — VNS
