History

The Cambodia national under-23 football team is the under-23 football team representing Cambodia at the Olympic Games, Asian Games, and Southeast Asian Games. It is administered by the Football Federation of Cambodia.

In the 2019 SEA Games, under the guidance of coaches Keisuke Honda and Félix Dalmás, they made history by defeating their long-time rivals and 2017 SEA Games silver medalists, Malaysia. This victory allowed them to qualify for the semi-finals for the first time. They ultimately finished in 4th place after a 4-0 loss to the Vietnam.[3]

Kit

The kits used usually follow the senior team's kits. However, they sometimes used kits with different manufacturers. Starting with the 2025 Southeast Asian Games, they will wear Mizuno kits due to Cambodia Olympic Team arrangement.
