Rosella Ayane joins aspiring footballers in Tottenham ahead of Man United fixture

Rosella Ayane surprised budding footballers at a local primary school in Tottenham today ahead of our Barclays Women’s Super League match at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday.

Year 5 and 6 students from Lea Valley Primary School were joined by the Morocco international to be put through their paces during a coaching session delivered by Tottenham Hotspur Foundation.

After the session, Rosella surprised the students by handing over tickets to this weekend’s highly anticipated fixture against Manchester United, which is taking place at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on Sunday 12 February (KO 12pm).

Rosella’s visit forms part of the wider work delivered by the Club and its Foundation to create life-changing opportunities and experiences for young people across its community.

Speaking at the school, Rosella said: “It was brilliant to come down to Lea Valley Primary School today and join in with the session hosted by the Club’s Foundation. It’s great to see so many girls with such a passion for football and the work the Club is doing locally is definitely helping with this. I look forward to seeing the students again on Sunday as they cheer us on at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium!”.
