Day 10 - The team spent the morning in Battambang, had breakfast at the river before playing the under-17 National Team of Cambodia. After the game the teams had fun at the pool then had dinner together, a great final day with the girls from SALT Academy.

Friends about to compete for 90 minutes, some of the young stars of the Cambodian team keen to play against American players for the first time.

The girls in the photo have all been helped by SALT Academy and have progressed to the National team, a remarkable story given the backgrounds of many of the players and shows the power of football as a motivation in young peoples lives.
