Vietnam team plays friendly match with Cambodia team in Binh Duong
As part of the preparation plan for the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, the Vietnam Football Federation (VFF) invited the Cambodian national team to Vietnam for a friendly match.
As part of the preparation plan for the Vietnamese team towards the first match in Group F within the framework of the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup, VFF has sent a document to the Cambodian Football Federation inviting the Cambodian national team to come to Vietnam to play a friendly match with the Vietnamese team on the occasion of FIFA Days in March 2025.
Previously, at the request of head coach Kim Sang-sik, VFF contacted a number of teams with quality and playing styles suitable for the Vietnamese team's preparation for the match against Laos in the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup. After receiving information from VFF, the Cambodian Football Federation agreed to participate. Currently, the two Federations are implementing the necessary procedures to organize the match.
The Cambodian national team has made remarkable progress in recent times. With the reinforcement of naturalized players, the “Angkor Warriors” had an impressive performance at the Southeast Asian Championship – ASEAN Cup 2024 when they beat Timor Leste (2-1), drew with Malaysia (2-2), lost to Singapore (1-2) and Thailand (2-3).
If nothing changes, the friendly match between the Vietnamese team and the Cambodian team will take place on March 19 at Binh Duong Stadium. Then, on March 25, coach Kim Sang-sik and his team will host the Lao team in the opening match of Group F, the final qualifying round of the 2027 Asian Cup./.
