Phnom Penh · Sports & events

The capital carries most of the top flight: Phnom Penh Crown, Visakha, Nagaworld, ISI Dangkor Senchey and the Royal Cambodian Armed Forces club all played in the 2025–26 league. Venues shift around the city, so check the club's own channels the week of the match rather than a schedule printed in advance.

A weekly Thursday run, occasionally Saturday, that has been going long enough to be numbering its events in the 1,800s. Runners meet early afternoon at a named villa or bar and finish somewhere with beer; visitors turn up without joining anything.

Held each June by the National Olympic Committee of Cambodia from BotumVattey Pagoda Park, with 21km, 10km, 5km and a 2.5km under-12 run starting between 5:30am and 6:10am to get ahead of the heat. Entry has run roughly US$8–65 depending on distance, residency and how early you enter.

The national stadium north of the centre, built for the 2023 Southeast Asian Games and now the venue for national-team football and the biggest athletics meetings. Worth checking the fixture list if you are here in an international window.

Cambodia's own kickboxing code is fought under the name Kun Khmer and is largely a television sport here, broadcast from studio arenas rather than sold as a ticketed night out. Ask locally which station is filming that week if you want to watch it live.
