[edit] Recent developments

In October 2007, Cambodia was eliminated from the 2010 World Cup qualifiers, at the first hurdle, losing 1-0 to Turkmenistan at home in Phnom Penh and 4-1 away in Ashgabat.

On 21 December 2007 it was announced that Yoo Kee-Heung, a South Korean coach, had been hired as the Cambodia national team coach. This appointment was reported to be part of a sponsorship deal with a Korean technology company worth $205 000 a year, half of which will be Yoo's salary.[1]

On July, 2008 Cambodian Football Federation have fired South Korean coach Yoo Kee-Heung from the national team after poor results and the lack of a coaching license and he has been replaced by local coach Prak Sovannara.[2]
