Overall, I enjoyed my 5 days that has kept me in full adrenaline pumping. My boys still talk about their matches in the competition.”

“For us this is much more than football, because we are from an orphanage, and it’s about travelling, [experiencing] other cultures, other people, other countries. We take it (football) seriously, but it is not the most important thing,”

said Hannu Tuukkanen, manager of Youth Football Home Phuket.
