Today (Friday), Noel Allen, a candidate for the Northern Ireland youth national team who has the opportunity to become the first foreign player in the Lithuanian championship, arrives to visit the "Vilnius" club, currently in seventh place in the "A League."
The official website of the "Vilnius" club reports that the 19-year-old N. Allen nominally plays as a right back. Besides Northern Ireland, he has previously played for clubs in Canada and the USA.
Interestingly, his 17-year-old brother Curtis Allen, who the media has already compared to "Northern Irish Wayne Rooney" and David Beckham, is mentioned in the UEFA Champions League magazine as one of the 5 most promising young football players in the world.
Meanwhile, the other club in the capital, "Vėtra," recently receiving a spot in the Intertoto Cup, has started long-planned installation of artificial lighting at their stadium. The construction is expected to be completed within a month, and then games can be played at the stadium in later hours, and after installing additional seats, the national team could also play matches here.
