Goalkeeper and student of the St Mary’s Academy (SMA), Cameron Phillip 12, has made history in Russia when his team became the overall winner of Football for Friendship Youth Championship leading up to the start of the Fifa World Cup,
He was selected as the most outstanding goalkeeper.
Cameron will be carrying the Dominica Flag at the opening of the World Cup.
He was selected to represent Dominica at the championship which precedes the 2018 World Cup in Russia after his outstanding performance at the goal in one of the Newtown Juvenile Football Academy’s in-house football festivals.
He was among 100 young footballers from around the world who took part in the championship where each country had to send a representative for a specific position.
Dominica’s position was a goalkeeper, which Phillip excelled at.
Phillip, who is also a goalkeeper student of the Newtown Juvenile Football Academy, and 12-yr-old Adeola Xavier of the Convent High School (CHS) who is an aspiring journalist were recently selected to travel to Russia where they will witness the opening of the 2018 World Cup and take part in football-related activities.

Well done Cameron. Elating news
Outstanding!! Let us all make sure he continues to grow and realize his full potential.
They can shine anywhere they want BUT Dominica, we dont allow successful people down here, now run along and learn Russian
Stupes . Negativsm is in your bones. Sad that is what u say to a young 12 year Old? Pathetic are you! Unappreciative and non encouraging person. Can u not be positive this once? Lord have mercy on the unpatriotic one who only looks at all negating factors. Open your eyes and focus on what little good that is around you. Nice way to start.
“Dominica fails” is telling the absolute truth. You CANNOT shine in Dominica, period! Congrats to the young one. Hope he does NOT come back home with hopes of achieving anything – his dreams will be shattered if he does.
So proud of you young man at least there is a gleamer of hope amongst our youth in this country; hope the DFA gives him all the support he needs thereon
Well done Cameron, you have done your country and the Caribbean proud. Hope to see you playing in a future World Cup.
Great job Cameron! keep going
