check_bin_krap Posted February 18, 2003 Report Share Posted February 18, 2003 From Soccernet: Arsenal invited to Thailand tournament BANGKOK, Feb 18 (Reuters) - Arsenal, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich have been invited to play in a tournament in Thailand in May to mark the 75th birthday of the world's longest reigning monarch, King Bhumibol Adulyadej. An official at the Ministry of Sports and Tourism told Reuters on Tuesday that the English champions and Inter had informally accepted the invitation, but 2001 European Cup winners Bayern had not yet replied. '(Arsenal and Inter) said they would definitely come to Thailand as long as they had no other major matches to play in Europe,' he said. The organisers had not yet set the exact dates of the tournament, which is named the Thailand King's Supercup and will cost Thailand at least £3.4million. A fourth team called All Stars Asia consisting of players from Thailand, China, South Korea, Japan and the Middle East will also take part.
