BATTAMBANG: On 5 August 2012, football matches were held in the football field inside the Pet Yiey Chee Compound organized by Jesuit Refugee Service (JRS) Cambodia. The football match was organized between teams comprised of JRS staff, the Cambodian Army (Kong Yotea Kemarak Pumen, Pumpeak 5), CMAC and the Paristhan football team of the Msgr. Oscar Romero Pastoral Center of the Parish.
The football match dubbed "Oslo Cup" was done to raise awareness about the ongoing advocacy to ban clusters mines and munitions, as well as to foster relations between groups who were working together on the issue, and finally encourage people with disability. It was also part of the advocacy for the 2012 Oslo Conference on Cluster Munitions.
