Young footballers from Norway are currently on tour across the UK and whilst in the area, they will take part in training sessions at Bet365 Stadium. 

Velerenga Football Club's under 14s team will also be visiting Sir Stanley Matthews Sport Centre on Leek Road to attend a class about football anatomy and physiology. 

The Norwegian team are currently on tour across the UK (Valerenga Football Club).

A spokesperson for the team said: "The trip abroad is part of the campaign to motivate and inspirate the players to continue to play soccer in the following years when traditionally the dropout is significant."

Valerenga are based in the capital of Norway, Oslo and players ran lotteries and got financial support from their families to come to the UK.

They are travelling with 17 players and four adults.
