The Cambodian team arrived at Tan Son Nhat airport on the afternoon of March 17 to prepare for a friendly match with the Vietnamese team on March 19 in Binh Duong.
The flight landed at 2:25 p.m., but it wasn't until 3:50 p.m. that coach Koji Gyotoku and his team arrived at the pick-up area of Tan Son Nhat airport, because they had to wait to go through immigration procedures and get their luggage.
Getting on the bus to continue moving to Binh Duong, but the Cambodian team also had to wait about 10 more minutes before being able to move, because there were still a few pieces of luggage that were brought out later by the logistics team.
Coach Koji Gyotoku has brought 23 players to Vietnam to prepare for the friendly match. Compared to the ASEAN Cup 2024 , the Cambodian team has a few changes. In particular, defensive midfielder Chou Sinti was injured and replaced by Sos Souhana.

In addition to Japanese-born midfielder Hikaru Mizuno, who is injured and absent, coach Koji Gyotoku still has 5 other naturalized players: captain Kan Mo (South Africa), defender Takaki Ose, Yudai Ogawa (Japan), midfielder Andres Nieto (Colombia) and striker Abdel Kader Coulibaly (Ivory Coast). In addition, there is also Cambodian-American midfielder Nick Taylor (USA), who is quite notable.
One notable point is that Mr. Gyotoku continues to put his faith in goalkeeper Vireak Dara, who was cleared of suspicions of match-fixing at the 2024 ASEAN Cup. The 22-year-old goalkeeper made mistakes that led to two regrettable goals in the 1-2 loss to Singapore in the group stage.
With a force considered the best at present, Cambodia promises to be a formidable "test" for the Vietnamese team in the upcoming friendly match. Especially the formidable naturalized "vertical axis" Kan Mo - Andres Nieto - Coulibaly plays aggressively but is also no less technical.
According to plan, the Cambodian team will have a practice session at Go Dau Stadium tomorrow night (March 18) before competing with the Vietnamese team.
