First big league match for Lapps
NZPA-Reuter Oslo Lapland will play its first soccer international later this year when it meets a Swedish team from the Baltic islands of Aalund, sports officials said. The Lapps will play the team in the North Norwegian town of Kautokeino this summer, when ice that covers the region for most of the year has melted. . The Lapps are a nomadic race, made up mainly of reindeer herders who wander across Arctic national borders between Norway, Sweden,
Finland and Russia. The officials said the Kau-: tokeino pitch has neither stands nor seats, but Lapland’s manager was negotiating for the match to be televised in Scandinavia.
