Preah Khan Reach Svay Rieng Football Club (PKR Svay Rieng) held a groundbreaking ceremony for the upgrade of Svay Rieng Stadium this morning.
The stadium was built in 2015 with a seating capacity of around 2,000 which was expanded to about 4,000 spectators in 2023.
The ceremony was presided over by club president Dy Vichea, together with the project team.
However, the stadium still does not meet the standards set by the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), despite the club’s responsibility to compete internationally. To host AFC-approved matches and accommodate a growing fan base, the club’s leadership has initiated reconstruction efforts to upgrade the facility to bring it in line with international standards.
Svay Rieng Stadium has recorded the highest attendance in the Cambodian Premier League for the past two consecutive seasons — a reflection of the club’s strong fan base and growing support in the province.
