Prime Minister Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen has expressed his hope that H.E. Gen. Sao Sokha, President of the Football Federation of Cambodia (FFC) will remain in this position.

“As the Prime Minister, I'd like to appeal to H.E. Sao Sokha not to resign from the presidency of FFC,” he said in a special voice message shared this afternoon.

Samdech Techo Hun Sen noticed that even though Cambodia was defeated by Myanmar 0-2 in a match of Men’s U-22 Football at the SEA Games 2023, held at the National Olympic Stadium last night, Cambodia's football sector has seen dramatic progress.

H.E. Gen. Sao Sokha announced his resignation immediately after the Cambodian U-22 team lost to Myanmar U-22 team.

The SEA Games Men’s Football started on April 29, 2023. The Cambodian U-22 team has beaten Timorese counterpart 4-0, drawn 1-1 with the Philippines, and lost to Myanmar 2-0.

The Cambodian-U 22 team will meet Indonesian counterpart soon, but it is hard for Cambodia to survive Group A qualification tournament.
