Uruguayan under-20 football players with (top) Ava Vercoe (5) and her father, former Otago rugby player Jed Vercoe, and (right) with Molly Stebbings (13) at the Dunedin Public Hospital's children's ward yesterday.

Management and all 21 players in Dunedin for the Fifa Under-20 World Cup took part in the visit, spending about half an hour with four children.

The players gave all the children a small gift and posed for photos with them.
