INAUGURATION OF THE NEW FOOTBALL PITCH

Cérémonie d'inauguration du terrain de football

On Wednesday, 13th September 2017, we had the pleasure to inaugurate a new football pitch built with synthetic turf!

The inauguration took place in the presence of the Minister of Education, Youth and Sports of Cambodia, H.E. Dr. HANG Chuon Naron. The project was made possible thanks to our partners: SMART, a leading mobile operator in Cambodia, and the Real Madrid Foundation. We hope that future "little gems” of Cambodian football will be born on this ground!

The importance of sport in education

Sport plays an important role at PSE. It contributes to the "reconstruction" of children and allows them to develop patience, tenacity, ambition, pushing themselves to the limits, team spirit and initiative.

Sport is integrated into the school curriculum. Every morning, the pupils have a collective gymnastics session and, in the evening and at weekends, about 100 children participate in the extra-curricular cultural and sports activities that are offered. Sports, music, dance ... are an integral part of our educational vision.

A sustainable partnership

This year, a new partnership was initiated with the Real Madrid Foundation (RMF), created by the famous football club to achieve its social and educational objectives and as part of its CSR programme.

From the outset of the project, the shared goal of PSE and the Real Madrid Foundation has been to develop a socio-sportive programme for the disadvantaged children we deal with on a daily basis. The Foundation brings its world-renowned expertise, the excellence of its methods and the regular support of its trainers.

The project was quickly supported by mobile operator Smart, whose financial support to socio-sporting projects is one of the pillars of its CSR programme (Corporate Social Responsibility) in Cambodia.

PSE, Smart and the Real Madrid Foundation share the same belief that sport is a powerful tool for the empowerment and well-being of young people and helps them find their place in society. The new football pitch, financed by Smart, is a magnificent instrument for deploying this socio-sportive programme in the best conditions!
