The regional qualifiers for the Hun Sen Cup, the national football knock-out competition of Cambodia are set to kick-off tomorrow (March 28th).
The competition, which is technically open to all clubs within the Kingdom will begin with five matches on March 28th, with a further three on the 29th, before the next round on the 4th and 5th of April.
The competition, which also essentially works as the third-tier of Cambodian football, under the Cambodian Premier League initially sees clubs play in regional groups, before the qualifiers join the “big clubs” in later rounds.
The Hun Sen Cup qualifiers have traditionally been used as a gateway for new clubs to rise up the Cambodian football pyramid.
