Over the years, football has been a big part of the Southeast Asian Games and the Southeast Asian Games 2023 in Phnom Penh, Cambodia, is no different.
The 32nd edition of the SEA Games had two football tournaments, one for men and one for women.
The men’s football tournament at Cambodia 2023 was an under-22 affair and featured 10 nations while the eight-team women’s competition had no age restrictions.
For both events, the nations were divided into two groups (five teams each for men and four for women).
After the group stages, the top two teams from each group progressed to the semi-finals. The two losing semi-finalists played the bronze medal match while the winning teams from the last four battled it out for the gold medal in the final.
