For first-timer Benjamin Nygren, the interaction with the kids left an unforgettable impression.

"It's been an amazing experience coming here [Ghana]," he said in an interview with JoySports.

"To see the academy, the kids and to see where many of my teammates come from, where they grew up and to just talk to the kids, see them train is unbelievable."

Head Coach Jens Olsen is confident that the exchange program will enhance the squad's unity.

"I think it is important for our team in the education of the individual player to see what differences there is in world, to unite them, and create a strong football team and also develop them as people."
