With 90% of their players vaccinated, ISI Dangkor Senchey is thrilled to be invited by CNCC to join their new football cup.

“We are all happy to join League Cup as it will help us prepare for the upcoming Cambodian League 2,” said John Botioba, ISI Dangkor Senchey Head Coach. “We will approach it with serenity and determination to refresh our minds and become competitive again after these quiet months. The competition results are not as important to us as growing strong together as a team,” he added.

After becoming a member of Cambodian League 2 in 2020, ISI Dangkor Senchey has made a name for themselves on the professional football field. However, ISI Dangkor Senchey is more than a football club. Established by our KMH Foundation, they’ve become a gateway to professional football in Cambodia and are helping build a better living through sports.

“In football, nothing is impossible,” said John. “To become a professional, you must consistently work hard and be disciplined. You have a desire, you persevere. You never give up as a team. That’s the ingredient that helps us continue to accomplish our dreams,” John continued.
