The video from the Games' official account came complete with the underground rap song by 'The Away Boyz' titled 'Arsene Wenger' — a love song aimed at the manager who guided the Gunners to three Premier League titles and seven FA Cup successes.
The Olympics will get underway with an opening ceremony on July 26 and run until August 11, when the iconic flame will be extinguished at the closing ceremony. The men's football competition will run from July 24 to August 9, while the women's tournament goes from July 25 to August 10.
