Secretary General of the Football Federation of Cambodia Keo Sareth expressed his hope that they will be able to compete with the best teams in the region when Cambodia hosts the Games in 2023.
SEA Games 32 is due to be held in Cambodia from May 5-16, 2023. It will be the first time for the country to host the region's largest sporting event.
NOCC President and Tourism Minister Thong Khon said last month that the stadium in the northern suburb of Phnom Penh will serve as the main venue for competitions when Cambodia hosts the tournament.
