History
[edit ]Founded in 2008 as Boeung Ket Rubber Field Football Club, the club was renamed Boeung Ket Angkor in 2015 before adopting its current name, Boeung Ket Football Club, in 2017. Originally based in Kampong Cham province, the club relocated to Kandal province in 2018 and moved permanently to Phnom Penh in 2019. Boeung Ket is one of Cambodia's most successful football clubs, having won the Cambodian League championship four times (2012, 2016, 2017 and 2020). The club also finished as league runners-up in 2013, 2014 and 2018. In 2019, Boeung Ket won its first Hun Sen Cup title after defeating Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng in a penalty shootout.
Boeung Ket claimed its fourth Cambodian League championship in 2020. The club has also represented Cambodia in several international competitions, including the AFC President's Cup, the AFC Cup, Singapore Cup, and the Mekong Club Championship. The club also operates a women's section which competes in the Cambodian Women's League.
Stadium
[edit ]Since 2019, Boeung Ket Football Club has played its home matches at the Olympic Stadium. The stadium was designed by the renowned Cambodian architect Vann Molyvann. Before relocating to Phnom Penh, Boeung Ket used several home grounds. While based in Kampong Cham Province, the club played home matches at provincial venues, before temporarily using the Cambodia Airways Stadium during the 2022 season.
