Format

edit

Besides youth tournaments of certain levels, Cambodian League and Samdech Hun Sen Cup are the highest association football tournaments organized yearly by the Football Federation of Cambodia (FFC).

The Samdech Akka Moha Sena Padei Techo Hun Sen Cup refers to the name of Prime Minister Hun Sen. This trophy was first organized in 2007. 28 teams then participated. There were 2 stages - group and knock out. 16 teams which qualified from the group stage played in the knock out stage until the finals.

In the 6th season of the Hun Sen Cup (Hun Sen Cup 2012), the format was changed until now. The top 8 or 10 teams of Cambodian League enter the group stage while the other teams from Phnom Penh and provinces play in qualification before going through to the group stage.
