Coventry City Football Club and the Ricoh Arena hosted a number of exchange students from China last Friday.

The 19 youngsters, who were all aged between 13 and 14 years, are from Tsinghua School in Shenzhen.

They are half of a 38-man party, who are split between Alderman Smith school in Coventry - who accompanied them to the Ricoh on Friday - and Campion School in Leamington Spa.

None of the students who came to the Ricoh Arena on Friday had visited the UK before.

The Chinese party arrived in England on April 20 and will return home on April 29. As well as experiencing the great facilities at the Ricoh Arena, they have had a busy time, visiting London, Cadbury World, Drayton Manor and Kenilworth Castle, as well as other local sights.

The students are picture sitting in the Telent Stand on Friday, along with staff from Alderman Smith School.
