Check the line up in the Norwegian Dream Team. What is wrong with it? Yes you are right, it is composed of non-ethnic Norwegians. However, although this is just a dream team from immigrants perspective, it is real that immigrants are becoming an important aspect of football in Norway.
Football players with immigrant roots, like John Carew, Ruben L. Gabrielsen, Moammed Abdellause and Alexander Tetty, are a big inspiration for young immigrant boys in Norway. This month we celebrate these dream achievers who are veteran players in the Norwegian national team and many others who have not reached the first eleven national team yet. Many young men look up on them as role models and heros.

We salute especially John Carew who is the biggest role model in football for us of immigrant background in Norway.
