U19 Southeast Asia Championship: Cambodia faces Australia on June 9

U19 Cambodia is set to clash with U19 Australia in the decisive final group stage match of the 2026 U19 Southeast Asian Championship on June 9. The game, scheduled for 8 PM, will be broadcast live on TV360.

Australia currently tops Group C, sharing three points with Cambodia but holding a superior goal difference of +10 compared to Cambodia's +3. The Philippines have already been eliminated from contention after losing their first two matches.

While Cambodian football has historically lagged behind Australia, the nation's youth teams have shown significant improvement. Cambodia's convincing 3-0 victory over the Philippines in their opening match demonstrated their potential and established them as a team not to be underestimated.

Despite Cambodia's progress, Australia is still favored to win and secure the top spot in the group, needing only a draw to advance to the quarterfinals. The tournament, hosted in Indonesia from June 1 to 14, involves 11 teams. The winners of each of the three groups, along with the best second-placed team, will qualify for the semifinals.
