抄録	The Homeless World Cup (HWC) is an annual event for homeless people in which almost 600 homeless players sent by national partners from over 60 countries participate. These national partners are currently conducting daily activities in 420 venues worldwide. Happy Football Cambodia Australia (HFCA) is an organization that has been conducting futsal activities in the Cambodian capital city, Phnom Penh, since 2005. It offers weekly futsal trainings to Cambodian youth, aged from 8–24 years, who are sent from several youth support NGOs and orphanage centres. We conducted face-to-face interviews and participant observations from October 2015 to November 2017 with 18 HFCA-related persons, including four staff members from collaborative NGOs and ex-players of HFCA. From these interviews, we found that almost all of the ex-HWC players had found learning or working opportunities spontaneously, while a few faced difficult life situations. HFCA has started new programmes to increase their commitment to the issues involved: 1) creation of women’s teams, 2) holding of the Reunion Cup for ex-players, and 3) participation in a local football league. These new trials of HFCA are closely related to football/ futsal, and play a significant role in building trust in and improving the expertise of the HFCA’s specialties. In the recent Cambodian society, especially in Phnom Penh, demands for football players and coaches have increased because of an overall boom in the sport. Many companies have football clubs and recruit new staff members, although their levels of expertise in football vary. A few ex-HWC players have found jobs as coaches, players, or even as company staff members due to their experience in the HWC. Thus, the significance of HWC seems to have expanded, as seen from this recent trend in Cambodian society as well as HFCA’s activities.

DCTERMS.abstract	The Homeless World Cup (HWC) is an annual event for homeless people in which almost 600 homeless players sent by national partners from over 60 countries participate. These national partners are currently conducting daily activities in 420 venues worldwide. Happy Football Cambodia Australia (HFCA) is an organization that has been conducting futsal activities in the Cambodian capital city, Phnom Penh, since 2005. It offers weekly futsal trainings to Cambodian youth, aged from 8–24 years, who are sent from several youth support NGOs and orphanage centres. We conducted face-to-face interviews and participant observations from October 2015 to November 2017 with 18 HFCA-related persons, including four staff members from collaborative NGOs and ex-players of HFCA. From these interviews, we found that almost all of the ex-HWC players had found learning or working opportunities spontaneously, while a few faced difficult life situations. HFCA has started new programmes to increase their commitment to the issues involved: 1) creation of women’s teams, 2) holding of the Reunion Cup for ex-players, and 3) participation in a local football league. These new trials of HFCA are closely related to football/ futsal, and play a significant role in building trust in and improving the expertise of the HFCA’s specialties. In the recent Cambodian society, especially in Phnom Penh, demands for football players and coaches have increased because of an overall boom in the sport. Many companies have football clubs and recruit new staff members, although their levels of expertise in football vary. A few ex-HWC players have found jobs as coaches, players, or even as company staff members due to their experience in the HWC. Thus, the significance of HWC seems to have expanded, as seen from this recent trend in Cambodian society as well as HFCA’s activities.
