JUNIOR school pupils from Chelmsford will get the chance to play football at Arsenal’s academy.
Squad members of Moulsham Junior School’s girls seven-a-side team are going to the centre in Walthamstow after reaching the quarter finals of the Essex Under 11s Seven-a-side Girls Cup.
The matches in the next round all take place at Premier League club’s academy in February.
Team manager Emma Ireland said: “The girls were ecstatic to find out they had qualified for the county finals and even more excited when they found out where it would be held.
“They have all worked so hard, as I am sure every team has, and as a school it makes us very proud to witness their achievement.”
