Preview: Royal Cambodian Armed Forces FC Hosts Kirivong Sok Sen in C-League Clash

PHNOM PENH, Cambodia (Interstat) — A tense C-League rivalry resumes Saturday when Royal Cambodian Armed Forces FC hosts Kirivong Sok Sen at RCAF Old Stadium.

The matchup, set for April 11, 2026, pits two sides with recent history of lopsided results against each other. Kirivong Sok Sen has dominated the last two meetings, including a 4-0 away victory on Feb. 7 and a 3-2 home win on March 1. RCAF FC’s last triumph was a 2-0 away win on Oct. 25, 2025.

Both teams enter following losses on April 5. RCAF FC fell 3-1 at home to Visakha, extending a difficult run of form. Their season has been marked by defensive struggles, including heavy defeats of 7-1 to Angkor Tiger and 6-0 to Boeung Ket. Their lone point in the last five matches came from a 1-1 draw with Dangkor Senchey on March 21.

Kirivong Sok Sen also seeks consistency after a 1-0 victory over Life Sihanoukville last weekend snapped a two-game skid. Their season features dramatic swings, from a 5-0 loss to Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng FC to a 4-0 rout of Saturday’s opponent. They have shown an ability to secure narrow wins but have also conceded three or more goals four times this campaign.

The game presents a critical opportunity for RCAF FC to reverse recent head-to-head fortunes and gain vital points at home. For Kirivong, it’s a chance to solidify a potential upper-hand in the series and build on a clean sheet from their last outing.

According to Interstat’s game simulator, the contest is projected to end in a 2-2 draw, suggesting a tightly contested match likely to hinge on which defense can best contain the other’s attack.

Kickoff is scheduled for 6 p.m. local time.
