Nope! Article has been nominated for AfD. If it survives AfD,

ALT1: ... that when Nith Pean scored for the Cambodia women's national under-16 football team in a 2009 match against Laos, she was the first woman from her country to ever do so in a FIFA recognised match?

as an alt? --LauraHale (talk) 06:08, 24 June 2012 (UTC)

Hi. :D Survived Afd! :D --LauraHale (talk) 00:27, 25 June 2012 (UTC)

The alt hook doesn't seem to be supported by its source, which is about the under-14s team Nick-D (talk) 00:57, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Text says: "The team played in their first FIFA recognised and sponsored international in spring of 2009 when they played Laos". Sources say: "While several of the Mighty Girls have already represented their country in Laos and Singapore during friendly matches in 2009 as part of the U-16 squads, almost all the other players have never left the country, much less represented it. " and "Schweingruber’s patience was eventually rewarded. SALT went on to have U-11, U-13 and U-16 teams for boys and a men’s senior team that takes part in national tournaments, as well as U-13 and U-16 girls’ teams. By now trained as a FIFA Grassroots Instructor, Schweingruber had also become an expert in women’s football across the country and when Cambodia were invited to play their first international women’s match in Laos in spring 2009," and "Highlighting the conclusion of the seminar was a historical match between the U-16 team's of Laos and Cambodia played under a blazing sun on 22 May at the LFF technical centre built as part of FIFA Goal Project. " This supports the hooked fact. --LauraHale (talk) 02:10, 30 June 2012 (UTC)

Many apologies; it seems that I was looking at the wrong reference. This is good to go. Nick-D (talk) 02:23, 30 June 2012 (UTC)
