The list of the Cambodian national team has only changed in terms of personnel compared to the list for the 2024 ASEAN Cup 4 months ago, after midfielder Chou Sinti was injured and replaced with Sos Souhana.
naturalized players such as Kanmo, Takaki Ose, Abdel Kader Coulibaly, Yudai Ogawa continue to appear in the squad to compete in Vietnam. Cambodia's most notable absentee this time is the Japanese-born central defender - Hikaru Mizuno.
In addition to the naturalized and overseas Cambodia squad, Mr. Gyotoku - who was recently appointed as the official coach of the " Angkor Warriors" under a 1-year contract, also called up veteran faces such as Chanthea, Saret Krya, Sar Ratana, ...
A noteworthy point is that Mr. Gyotoku continues to put his trust in goalkeeper Vireak Dara, who was cleared after the 2024 ASEAN Cup score arrangement suspect. The Cambodian goalkeeper made a mistake that led to 2 regrettable goals in the match against Singapore in the group stage of this tournament.
With a force currently considered the best quality, Cambodia promises to be a reasonable "test" for Vietnam. Coach Kim Sang-sik can evaluate the quality of the midfield and defense of the Vietnam team. Because on the Cambodian side, the midfield and strikers of the opposing team gathered many formidable players. Yudai Ogawa is a rare midfielder holding the rhythm of Southeast Asian football, while in attack, Kader Coulibaly has good sweeping power. Supporting them will be Chanthea, who will make a comeback for the national team after a long injury.
According to the plan, the Cambodian team will be in Vietnam on March 17.
The friendly match between Vietnam and Cambodia will take place at 7:30 p.m. on March 19. Tickets for this match have 2 denominations of 200,000 VND and 400,000 VND and are being exclusively issued via the OneU application (formerly VinID).
