Format

[edit]

Provincial stage

[edit]

The provincial stage started in February 2020 and was contested between 17 teams across 5 groups. All of the 17 teams across represent their respective province, not just the city that the team plays in.

  • Group stage: 17 teams are split into 5 groups (2 groups of 4 and 3 groups of 3). The group winners and the 3 best runners-up (does not count the matches vs 4th-placed team in group A and E) qualified for the knockout stage.
  • Provincial Knockout Stage: 8 teams play in a single-elimination home & away matches, except the single-leg third-place playoff and final match. Top 4 teams will qualify for National Stage.

National Stage

[edit]

The National Stage sees the 12 2020 C-League teams (except Bati Youth Football Academy) enter the competition, along with the top 4 teams in the provincial stage. 16 teams play in a single-elimination home & away matches, except the single-leg semi-finals, third-place playoff and final match. The winners will qualify for 2021 AFC Cup qualifying playoff stage.

Criticism

[edit]

Tbong Khmum FC head coach,Phorn Raksmey Pich complained Prey Veng FC for using Visakha FC academy in the whole squad in provincial stage in an interview with BTV. He stated that "We (Tbong Khmum FC) already won the provincial stage because Prey Veng FC is not provincial team, they are Visakha FC academy!". His statement gained support by other provincial teams fans on social media.
