Cambodian football earns more points than Vietnam in the Asian rankings.

Cambodian football continues to accumulate more points than Vietnam in the Asian club rankings for the 2025/26 season.

According to data from Footy Rankings, representatives from the Angkor region have collected 8.725 points in the 2025/26 season, placing them temporarily at 14th position, above Vietnam (8.667 points, 15th place) along with some traditionally strong football nations like China, Uzbekistan, and Bahrain.

This achievement stems from the impressive performances of two clubs, Svay Rieng and Phnom Penh Crown, in the AFC Challenge League (Asia's C3 Cup). Both teams advanced through the group stage unbeaten before meeting early in the quarter-finals. Svay Rieng secured a 6-2 victory over two legs, then defeated Manila Digger with a 4-1 aggregate score to reach the final.

Therefore, even though the C3 Cup has a lower coefficient than higher-tier competitions, deep progression still allows Cambodian clubs to accumulate significant points.

Notably, this is not the first time Cambodian football has earned more points than Vietnamese football in this ranking. In the 2023/24 season, Phnom Penh Crown made an impact by advancing past the group stage of the Asian C2 Cup, thereby helping the country's football surpass Vietnam in the club-level rankings based on points added.
