From kicking balls made of plastic bags in Bangladesh to the playing fields of Brisbane, football is helping young Rohingya refugees gain the confidence to become leaders.

Dr Pink said he had learned a lot from the young men and was impressed by how the team championed for the Rohingya cause.

"They were passionate about their community and what the Rohingya people have experienced in Myanmar and how that message needed to get out on a larger scale," he said."They really came to us and said, 'Look, we're doing this, but we just need some people to do it with us and walk with us'. "When I reflect upon Robi's journey, I've seen a young man develop with confidence, he's now studying at university.He said the program would not have been created if it was not for Mr Alam and Rohingya United.

"There have been plenty of occasions when the deep respect everyone has shown for each other, with everything that's going on in the world around us right now, is something quite profound and something we all believe in."
