Description

Ron  chats to Sophoan, a rugby referee from Cambodia. She is a passionate sports woman and rugby fan who has stepped up to her role as one of the only female referees in her country. After watching men playing rugby, she wondered how she could get involved. So she starting off playing touch rugby, and then was invited to be a referee. 
Sophoan gives us further insight to her culture, one which makes it difficult for women to participate in sport, including non-contact sports. Sophoan is proud to be a referee supporting coaches working with the Cambodian Rugby Federation in partnership with ChildFund Rugby, the charity that Ron and Adam are supporting on their journey.
