The Cambodian Eagles Football Club provides a platform for children from Phnom Penh's poorest corners to participate in organised sport - to train, play and be part of a community, a big footy family.
We are a volunteer-run organisation and survive thanks to sponsors and donors.
The club currently has 90 active members - Cambodians who have shown a love for the Sherrin. Most of them come from the notorious Steung Meanchey rubbish dump communities, where they were put to work as children digging through trash for recyclables.
Your donations help to provide:
- Football boots and playing kits
- Passports and documents
- Training facilities
- Medical insurance
- Tournament fees
