The players were at the ITFC fun day at the Portman Road Fanzone and posed for photos and signed autographs before the team took to the field.

The area was bustling, with five-a-side games for youngsters, FIFA 19 available to play, and a big-screen showing earlier games.

Supporters of all ages played giant Jenga, football pool and mini golf.

The Boots2Africa charity were also in the Fan Zone collecting old boots for children who are desperate to play the beautiful game.
