Arsenal players had a busy day in Hanoi on July 16 with a surprise morning training session at My Dinh Stadium before being split into three groups for the afternoon’s diverse activities.

At Xuan La Stadium, the six Arsenal players, including Theo Walcott, Tomas Rosicky, Jack Wilshere, Ox Chamberlain, and Olivier Giroud, met with outstanding students from Hoang Anh Gia Lai-Arsenal JMG Academy.

They shared their international experiences with players spanning the academy’s U9, U11, U12, and U14 age groups.

Another group of Arsenal players led by Mikel Arteta and Kiaren Gibbs hosted a fan exchange at the Keangnam Landmark building.

The exchange’s organisers distributed 50 tickets to lucky fans to take part in a My Dinh Stadium training session at 6pm on July 16.

The third Arsenal group, led by French defender Laurent Koscielny, visited Tran Quoc Pagoda to experience more of the capital city’s culture.-VNA
