Footballs coming home – C-League to resume in July
Good news for football fans, not only are we in the midst of Euro 2020 heaven, but we have the C-League to resume again in July.
The embattled Metfone C-League, the top level of professional football in Cambodia has had what can only be described as a stop-start season due to the Covid-19 outbreak, but after a month break for World Cup qualifiers the league is making a comeback.
When will C-League matches resume?
The first matches of the resumed Metfone C-League season are set to begin on the weekend of Saturday 3rd July, with matches then taking place every few days for the next couple of months as the league tries to catch up on missed fixtures.
The initial planned games are as follows;
3rd July
Soltilo Angkor FC v Police Commisionary FC
Visakha FC v Nagaworld FC
Prey Veng FC v Boeung Ket FC
4th July
Electricite Du Cambodge v Asia Euro United FC
And the great news is that Khmer Nights will be covering the Soltilo Angkor FC v Police Commisionary FC match live from the stadium in Siem Reap.
Can fans watch live football in Cambodia again?
While we might have seen full stadiums from our TV screens in Cambodia at he Euro’s, alas this will not be the case for the C-League, at least initially, with sporting events still considered high-risk. This will mean only essential staff being permitted into the games, with even those having to have received a vaccine, as well as testing negative before the match.
What is it like to watch football in Cambodia? See our guide.
Games and highlights will though as always be available on BTV, as well as the various online streaming channels if you really need to get your C-League fix.
When will the Hun Sen Cup resume?
For the uninitiated the Hun Sen Cup is the national knock-out competition in Cambodia that includes all the provincial sides. As of yet the Football Federation of Cambodia (FFC) have yet to announce when these games will resume.
As always though we will keep our fingers on the pulse for all your Cambodian football news needs….
