Super special soccer friendly
It was time for a super special soccer friendly at Camp Phoenix in Dili when some Aussie youths dropped in for a game of football.
Eight young Special Olympics footballers from Queensland, all of whom have an intellectual disability, were in Dili to compete in an international football tournament, playing teams from Thailand, Indonesia and East Timor.
