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.
