Boeung Ket is a Cambodian club whose history is best read through named competitions and dated event reports. This guide connects a documented cup milestone with the practical work of following the team today: checking its fixture, identifying the ground and keeping an accurate supporter archive.
Identify the club before reading the result
CPL lists Boeung Ket FC with Phnom Penh and provides a season-based club profile. Spelling can vary in informal posts, and a badge can survive changes in squad or venue. Keep the official club name in your own notes, then add the team category, competition and season.
This simple habit helps when family members share clips from different years. The same club appearing in two videos does not make them part of the same campaign. Look for the opponent and competition graphic, and use the original report when you want to record a milestone rather than just enjoy a highlight.
The first Hun Sen Cup title is a specific event
AFF's 13 November 2019 report identifies Boeung Ket's first Hun Sen Cup title, won against Svay Rieng after a 1-1 match and a 5-4 penalty shootout. The report places the final at RSN Stadium. This is a documented cup achievement, not a generic claim that every trophy in the club's history belongs to the same tournament.
When presenting the story, retain the year and the competition. A phrase such as first cup title is meaningful only when the cup is named. It should not be rewritten as the club's first victory of any kind or used to infer the current number of titles.
Why shootout goals stay in a separate column
The 2019 final provides an easy example for a young supporter: the match score remained 1-1, while the shootout selected the winner. Adding the shootout goals to the match score would produce a figure that does not describe the football played before the deciding kicks.
A useful archive has separate fields for regular-time score, extra-time score where applicable, and penalties. If the source does not distinguish a stage, leave that field unconfirmed rather than guessing. This also helps when comparing two reports that abbreviate the same final differently.
Find the venue for the match you plan to attend
Boeung Ket's recent and scheduled CPL home fixtures name National Stadium (Olympic), while the club profile's generic stadium summary remains TBC. The fixture is the better starting point for a visit. A historical cup final at RSN does not tell you where a later league match will be played.
Do not confuse the National Stadium (Olympic) with Morodok Techo National Stadium. Keep the complete venue name from the event notice. Before booking transport, confirm the specific gate or meeting area, because a large sports complex may have several entrances and a familiar place name alone can leave the last part of the journey unclear.
Follow players through current team sheets
Use the season-selected squad list to identify the registered players, then read the confirmed line-up for the actual game. A player's shirt number in an old final is not a permanent identifier. Names, team category and season are more reliable when comparing records across time.
If someone is absent from a match list, do not publish an explanation without a club statement. Absence alone does not establish a transfer or injury. You can accurately write that the player was not listed for that fixture while leaving the reason open. This protects both the quality of the archive and the people described in it.
What to observe during a match
Follow how Boeung Ket moves the ball from defence into midfield, then watch the nearest supporting players when a forward receives it. This gives a fuller picture than judging the team only by shots or goals. Choose short observation periods and compare the same feature in both halves.
For supporters learning the game, separate an observation from an interpretation. The full-back moved forward is an observation; the coach ordered an attacking change may be an inference unless the match context or a later interview supports it. Clear language makes football conversations more useful without pretending to know private instructions.
Make the ticket decision after confirming the event
Use the current organiser's ticket notice, not a price copied from another club or an old cup final. Confirm which stand the ticket covers, whether there are separate conditions for children and what happens if the match is rescheduled. Keep the transaction confirmation and the original event page together.
For a family outing, agree where to meet if members become separated and how to contact each other after the game. Check permitted bags and drinks before leaving. A little preparation is particularly useful when the ground is a multi-use complex rather than a small venue with one obvious entrance.
Tell the first cup story with a simple match timeline
A young supporter can understand the 2019 achievement through three boxes: the teams and competition, the score after the match, and the deciding shootout. Put Boeung Ket and Svay Rieng in the first box, the 1–1 match result in the second, and the 5–4 shootout outcome in the third. Label the venue from the AFF report alongside the event. This makes the distinction between playing goals and deciding kicks visible without requiring a complex statistics lesson.
Then ask what the source does not establish. If attendance, a complete lineup or a current stadium assignment is absent, leave those fields empty. The exercise teaches that an unfinished record can still contain reliable facts. It also preserves the meaning of “first Hun Sen Cup title” instead of turning it into a claim about every competition. For a school presentation or family scrapbook, a short sourced timeline is easier to explain than a trophy graphic containing undated totals, mixed competitions and a penalty score presented as the match score.
Useful distinctions at a glance
| Item | Correct use | Common confusion |
|---|---|---|
| 2019 AFF final report | Evidence of Boeung Ket’s first Hun Sen Cup title | Treating it as a current honours total |
| 1-1 and 5-4 penalties | Match score and separate deciding shootout | Adding all goals into one score |
| National Stadium (Olympic) | Venue named in selected CPL fixtures | Assuming it is Morodok Techo |
| Current squad profile | Season-specific registered players | A guaranteed starting eleven |
A first-visit checklist
- Choose the exact fixture and check that it is the senior team you want to watch.
- Read the current stadium line and distinguish Olympic from Morodok Techo.
- Confirm the entrance, ticket category and any family-access conditions.
- Save the notice and ticket so they remain readable without mobile data.
- Arrange the return journey and a meeting point before entering the stadium.
- Separate the final match score from any shootout when sharing the result.
- Keep an official source link beside each historical achievement in your notes.
Build history from evidence, not from a copied total
A club guide can explain important moments without pretending to have verified every season. Start with the documented 2019 cup event, add other milestones only when the competition and edition are clear, and retain the original source. A blank field means more research is needed; it does not mean the club had no achievement that year.
The current CPL pages and historical federation reports serve different purposes. One helps you follow today's competition; the other establishes an event in the past. Using both, with dates, gives supporters a more dependable guide than a single unlabelled list of trophies.

Frequently asked questions
Where should I check Boeung Ket’s next stadium?
Read the specific CPL fixture and the latest club notice. A stadium used for a historical final does not establish the venue of the next home match.
What happened in the 2019 Hun Sen Cup final?
AFF records Boeung Ket winning the trophy against Svay Rieng after a 1-1 match and a 5-4 penalty shootout. Keep those scores separate.
Can I assume a player in an old photograph is still in the squad?
No. Check the current season’s official squad profile and the confirmed team sheet for the match you want to follow.
