History


1972 AFC Asian Cup


During the tournament as Khmer Republic, Cambodia was one of the best national teams in Asia. As Khmer Republic, they had qualified to the semi-finals, only got beaten later by Iran and Thailand, and won the 4th place overall. It remains as Cambodia's greatest achievement in an international tournament.


1990s to 2010s


After decades of war, in which witnessed both Khmer Rouge's genocide and the later Vietnamese invasion which toppled the Khmer Rouge, Cambodia returned to international football at 1993. Cambodia's first tournament as a new team was the Tiger Cup, in which Cambodia was defeated in all four matches. In this tournament, although Cambodia was the weakest among all teams participating in the tournament, Cambodia demonstrated high spirit of football. However, in successive tournaments, Cambodia was not successful and they could not manage to play with high spirits as it used to be. Despite of this, Cambodia still gave birth to what would one of Cambodia's football talents in its young history, Hok Sochetra.


Cambodia remained lagged behind for many years.


Since 2010s


Cambodia's football has witnessed resurgence after decades being under shadows. The resurgence of Cambodia had begun with the arrival of South Korea's Lee Tae-hoon, who had introduced a significant development of football in Cambodia, with the change of its tactics, as well as youth development and promotion of Cambodian youngsters to the national team, has given a hope for the change of Cambodia. At this team, the team has a lot of newly young talents, notably Chan Vathanaka, the first ever Cambodian to play professional football outside Cambodia, and the fanbase increased as for the achievement. Cambodia once again demonstrated a full spirit of football, despite during 2018 World Cup qualifying stage, Cambodia didn't record any win at all.


During 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification, Cambodia has managed what could be Cambodia's greatest achievement, when they defeated Afghanistan, which ranked 158 that time, above Cambodia which was ranked 174, and had already defeated Cambodia twice in the World Cup qualification, 1–0 at home. It is still regarded to be Cambodia's best performance in its modern football history.
