I would advise you to take a bus to thailand and visit some of their club stadiums.... any of them would have been better equip then the Olympic stadium....Do you know why Cambodia teams are not able to move from the President Cup to the 2nd tier of AFC competitions? You will need to have a stadium with proper changing rooms, proper lighting (the current flood lights will fail the AFC requirements as its not bright enough) among the requirement. <br />Your comment suggests that you are like a frog in a well...wait till you have travel and see the other stadiums before you claim that the current Olympic stadium is good enough to host a international match. And now you know why the Cambodia National Team doesnt play night games as with all the surrounding countries - cos their lighting will not get AFC approval... Even Laos have a better National stadium than Cambodia... such a disgrace for a country where football is the number 1 support sports... <br />cambodia football fanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-28884881083969861112012-06-28T01:11:06.252+07:002012-06-28T01:11:06.252+07:00ImKhmer,

The difference is embarrassing to be honest. I'm not putting Cambodia down, just stating facts. I would love us to have such a stadium but we are a long way from achieving that. There are basic improvements that must be made to the Olympic Stadium, unless the idea is to run it down,sell the land and build a series of high storey buildings in its place. Nothing would surprise me.Andy Brouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200698808278341785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-63830286161392730302012-06-28T00:17:49.222+07:002012-06-28T00:17:49.222+07:00Andy, I know Taiwan doesn't want to host the g...Andy, I know Taiwan doesn't want to host the games this year but you were comparing our stadium to Taiwan's. As for the money, if the Cambodian's government isn't so corrupted then 5 million USD is nothing because Cambodia is rich in natural soils (oil, diamonds, gold, irons, etc.)ImKhmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765523876379886498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-6453737810450068452012-06-27T12:06:42.963+07:002012-06-27T12:06:42.963+07:00ImKhmer...you got the wrong end of the stick. Taiw...ImKhmer...you got the wrong end of the stick. Taiwan hosted the finals last year, they are not one of the three wanting to host the finals this year. I can assure you that their ground was of a very very high standard and left the Olympic Stadium very much in the lower leagues of national stadia. As for the 3 stadiums wanting to host this years finals, I can only judge the Olympic Stadium (I've not seen the others) and I can assure you that in a professional era of stadiums, then we are lacking in MANY areas, as I have explained in a previous posting. If 5 million would solve the problems then so be it, I honestly don't know, but it would be interesting to know where that sort of money is coming from.Andy Brouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200698808278341785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-2960234264360334032012-06-27T11:27:38.607+07:002012-06-27T11:27:38.607+07:00Andy, I think you're really good at talking do...Andy, I think you're really good at talking down about Cambodia. I don't think our stadium is a million files away from Taiwan's, what so ever. The stadium is still in good condition. It just need a draing system for the field which I don't think it's cost that much, better light, better changing rooms, shower rooms, etc. It just need a remodify. 3-5 million USD should fix it all.ImKhmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765523876379886498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-45205929074004301232012-06-27T11:06:44.603+07:002012-06-27T11:06:44.603+07:00Well, even if they have a better changing rooms an...Well, even if they have a better changing rooms and shower rooms but that doesn't make them better than us. Look at the pitch, the seats, and the fields. It looks just like high school football fields. I bet they don't even have a VIP room nor a press room. If you look at the requirement, they also fail in a lot of areas.ImKhmerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15765523876379886498noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-71282404243494184922012-06-26T09:57:11.062+07:002012-06-26T09:57:11.062+07:00Anon 1:48PM - you hit the nail on the head.

The Olympic Stadium may have the bigger capacity but the facilities fall well short of acceptable levels by any stretch of the imagination. <br />The comparison with last year's finals in Taiwan for example are a million miles between them. Taiwan had world class facilities that would befit a World Cup not just the 3rd tier of Asian football cup competition. The Olympic Stadium facilities would look out of place on a Sunday morning football field in rural England. They are THAT bad.Andy Brouwerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200698808278341785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7983163773242420144.post-69303015667307252102012-06-25T19:15:50.914+07:002012-06-25T19:15:50.914+07:00lol I thought our stadium was bad but look at thei...lol I thought our stadium was bad but look at their stadium.
