HFCA's Senior Men team joined the KMH Champions League in 2017/2018 season playing 14 high quality football matches in a professional football environment and all 24 players were former Homeless World Cup players from Cambodian teams HFCA had sent overseas.
HFCA also competed in the 2019 and 2020 KMH Champions League senior mens seasons and HFCA ensured all our squads of 24 players each year were from our NGO partners in Phnom Penh and Siem Reap.
In 2020 the KMH Cup was the premier youth league in all of Cambodia with six Cambodian Premier League teams represented. We were honoured to have six matches in Group A against Cambodian football super powers Boeung Ket FC, Visakha FC and PKR Rieng Sey FC sending their best teams to take part. An amazing opportunity for our underprivileged youth to showcase their talent and compete against the best young players in Cambodia.
"Congratulations to Sen, Sovann and team for amazing work promoting football in Cambodia. HFCA were honoured to be part of the KMH Champions League for 2017/2018, 2019 and 2020 seasons as well as the KMH Cup in 2020. Very sad to hear these great competition are permanently closed but also HFCA understands and respects the decision of KMH Football Foundation"
Paraic Grogan, Founder HFCAHFCA is now preparing to find new league competitions for these 48 underprivledged youth and we hope to have positive news for the 2023 football seasons.
