The Whites will be roared on by the thousands-strong contingent of Leeds supporters based in the Norwegian capital and those who have travelled from further afield.
Scandinavia has long-since been home to scores of Leeds fans and the country has a proud history of Norwegians representing the club with strong Elland Road links to this day.

Key Events
- Farke takes charge of first match
- Young squad travelled to Oslo
- Rodrigo to join Al-Rayyan
No Rodrigo, no Rasmus
There’s slim chance of Rodrigo or Rasmus Kristensen making an appearance for the Whites today.
The Spaniard is on the cusp of agreeing a move to Qatari side Al-Rayyan, while Kristensen is closing in on a season-long loan move to AS Roma, where he will join up with Diego Llorente.
Youngsters
Just under two hours until kick-off which means team news is only 45 minutes away. We’re likely to see a couple of last season’s young guns given plenty of time on the pitch this afternoon.
Curious to see the style of play Daniel Farke employs, too.
Pre-match Bill
Luke AylingThe boys are excited to pick his style up, it’s a short pre-season so we will need to learn quickly. Hopefully we can do that, because it’s vital we get off to a good start this season.
Friendly matches are always good. You work really hard over the start of pre-season and then you can’t wait to get out there and play your first game.
Welcome to Oslo
Good afternoon from Oslo.
No, I’m not about to tell you who has received 12 points from Norway on Eurovision - Leeds United are in Scandinavia to take on fierce rivals Man United today.
Kick-off is from 5pm local time (4pm back in the UK).
Follow all the updates here throughout the afternoon. Eyes peeled for team news shortly.
