MELBOURNE (Reuters) - Awer Mabil's soccer-focused charity has put boots on the feet of children at the Kenyan refugee camp where he was raised and now the Denmark-based winger hopes to realise his own playing dreams with a spot in Graham Arnold's Australia team.

The 22-year-old was named in Arnold's first squad last week as the new coach looks to regenerate the team with youth after the Socceroos' group stage exit at the World Cup.
