The first Rohingya refugee national football team
  • 4 years ago
The Rohingya Football Club is a group of Rohingya refugees from Myanmar who play as a team in Malaysia, after fleeing human rights abuses thousands of miles away from their home in Myanmar. They hope to take part in the ConIFA World Football Cup, a tournament meant for minorities and stateless people.

Hundreds of thousands of Rohingya have fled Myanmar in the past few decades, with many making their way to neighboring countries, including Malaysia where 150,000 are said to live.
