Young Norwegian footballers head to Stoke-on-Trent to train at Bet365 Stadium
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.
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.
Tomorrow (25 March) they will face Sandbach United's Under 14s in a match at Hind Heath Road.
