Nottingham Forest today welcomed Warriors United, a club for children and young adults with learning disabilities in Nottinghamshire, to The City Ground.
As part of the Club’s open training session, the first held since promotion to the Premier League, Warriors United were given exclusive, behind-the-scenes access.
The special event formed part of owner Evangelos Marinakis’ continued goal to further develop the connection Nottingham Forest has with its supporters and the wider community.
During Down Syndrome Awareness Month, Warriors United were given unprecedented access, in what was an action-packed day.

As the players arrived at The City Ground and made their way to the dressing room, the young team were given the chance to get photos with some of their heroes.
After watching the team train in front of thousands of fans, the Warriors team were invited on the pitch for a team photo, integrating with the Forest squad, with the backdrop of the fans in the Brian Clough stand.
Immediately after the session, the Warriors then became journalists, heading into the stadium’s press conference room to ask questions to Head Coach, Nuno Espírito Santo.
From asking about his favourite pizza topping, to a sign language lesson and a question on whether Forest will make the Champions League, the team got to know more about Nuno.
Everyone at Nottingham Forest hopes that the experience for Warriors United was an unforgettable one, on what was a celebratory and fun-filled day for the Club.
