Eugeneson Lyngdoh, Lalramluaha and Lalthuammawia Ralte will get themselves exposed to international football at a training program with FCV Vikings, a Danish club playing 1st Division League there, Lajong's secretary Larsing M Sawyang said.

The exposure trip was part of the deal made by the club with Anglian Holdings Sports and Marketing, a Dubai based, NRI-owned Multi National Corporation earlier this year.

The trip will also serve as an exercise to gauge the standards of the Indian League players, as the three boys seek to gain valuable international experience from this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Sawyan said.

In the last two years, Shillong Lajong FC had sent 23 of its junior players to the world's best clubs such as Manchester United, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich for exposure.

The Denmark trip, however, will be the first that the Club is sending its top I-league players abroad.

"We hope to conduct many such exposure trips in the future which shall include promising players, junior coaching staff as well as managers and executives of SLFC," the club official said.

The club's upcoming and popular young midfielder said, "We have heard so much about European players and to actually get to play alongside them will take my playing to a new level. I hope it will also equip me with better skills and knowledge to improve as a footballer".

The team is also preparing for its 2012-13 I-League session later this month.
