The Korean Technology Company ( KTC) from South Korea has decided to donate 105,600 U.S. dollars each year from 2007 to 2009 to help Cambodia train its national footballers, a sports official said on Friday.
"The finance will be used for paying salary for the players and purchasing materials," said Sao Sokha, president of the Football Federation of Cambodia (FFC).
The consecutive donation will help strengthen Cambodian footballers' capacity, said Sokha, adding that the players used to have financial difficulties which led to unsatisfied match results.
In addition, he said, KTC will spend 100,000 U.S. dollars annually to hire South Korean coach to train Cambodia's national football team and qualified footballers will be sent to South Korea for further improvement.
Cambodia now has some 30 functional football clubs. It stays almost at the bottom of the International Football Federation's ( FIFA) world ranking.

The South Korean Copany is proud to cooperate with the Khmer Maffia Soa Sokha, a Military Police commander trained by the Vietnamese and the French.This Millionaire PHKAY CHOR has more than 10 Villas in Phnom Penh.
To the guy above me,
Were you one of the people that liberated Khmer from Khmer Rouge in 1979? at the age of 15, Sao Sokha was. Learn to respect people that do their jobs and sacrifice for their country and maybe you can learn a thing or two.
p.s. I didn't know that training in France is a bad thing lol? Just plain ignorant bad-mouth idiot. Open up your head sir and maybe you get some light shine into that dark and empty skull of yours.
