The talented Norway international midfielder expressed massive excitement before stepping into the unique competition for the very first time.
The N17 faithful possess an exciting opportunity to watch their star players compete locally, even as Tottenham Hotspur step into the World Sevens Football London arena on Thursday. The prestigious tournament spans three days at Brentford, and they play inside the Gtech Community Stadium. The Lilywhites will play alongside seven other clubs for the ultimate crown. The group phase takes place across Thursday and Friday. The semi finals and the final follow on Saturday. The North Londoners face a very tough initial schedule.
They will take on Aston Villa, West Ham, and Manchester United during the group stage. Chelsea, Everton, Leicester City, and London City Lionesses will also be competing. The squad begins against Villa on Thursday evening at exactly 6 pm. Moreover, they face West Ham at 4 pm, then play United at 8 pm on Friday. Midfielder Signe Gaupset remains a central figure. The Norway international impressed immensely after joining from SK Brann in January. She was pictured playing against Brighton during May.
