Most young athletes are probably used to traveling a little bit for practices, games, and tournaments. but how does forty one hundred miles sound?

That's how far a group of Swedish soccer players came. They're from Vaxjo, Sweden and they're here to play a tournament in Hhermantown this week. It's all part of the Duluth-Vaxjo Soccer Exchange, which is in its 12th year. Vaxjo is a sister city of Duluth. This year, two boys teams and two girls teams, both U15 and U16 are visiting. They say they're excited to be here, and can't wait to get on the field.
