💪 Team UK visits Nottingham Forest ahead of the Invictus Games | OneFootball

Nottingham Forest have taken English football by storm this season as they look for a return to Europe for the first time in decades, producing one memorable result after the next across a brilliant 2024-2 campaign to date.

But for a bit of time today, Nuno Espírito Santo and co. would dedicate a bit of that focus toward welcoming competitors from Team UK to the club's Nigel Doughty Academy ground in the run-up to the 2025 Invictus Games.

Given the connective power that football - and sport as a whole - so often can wield, Forest's feel-good gesture to honour those that have sacrificed in defence of their respective nations should not go overlooked.

Espírito Santo and Forest players the likes of Anthony Elanga, Morgan Gibbs-White, and Ola Aina greeted Team UK members and exchanged stories in sit-down groups during the meet-and-greet.

Team UK will compete against servicemen and women, both veteran and serving, from 30 other nations across a four-day competition whose aim is to help its participants both psychologically and physically.
