Preliminary round of the 2022 Hun Sen Cup
The country’s clubs are geographically drawn together into regional leagues. The winners then pass through to the regional cup final, before they get a chance to play the big-boys in the later rounds. Most of them get spanked at this stage but at least that means a day out in the capital city for them.
All in all, it’s a great way to spot new talent as only a limited number of over 23 players allowed to compete in games.
Who is playing on February 8th?
Sihanoukville Province vs Kampot Province
Kampong Speu Province vs Takeo Province

Who is playing on February 9th
Rithsen FC vs Oddar Meanchey Province
Battambang Province vs Pailin Province

What’s the standard of play?
As you might expect, the Cup is not exactly at the standard of the Cambodian Premier League. You can suss out junior provincial sides by their having a “province” designation. Teams with t FC note don theri names are more professional.
That said? Khmer Nights will be sampling the joys of Sihanoukville Province vs Kampot Province, so regardless of the quality of the game there will be a day at the seaside!
