However, the stadium in the land of pagodas set a record for the number of spectators. According to the announcement from the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), a total of 51,610 spectators attended the championship match.

This is a record number of spectators since the C3 Asian Cup was renamed the AFC Challenge League. It is also the first time in the C3 Asian Cup that a representative of Cambodian football has reached the final.

What is more noteworthy is that the record number of spectators for the C3 Asian Cup appeared in Cambodia, a football country that has long been not considered strong.

Morodok Techo Stadium in Phnom Penh is a football stadium built to serve the 32nd SEA Games in 2023 in Cambodia. However, this stadium will not host football matches (both men's and women's football) that year.

In 2023, Cambodia's Morodok Techo National Stadium will only host the opening and closing ceremonies and athletics at the 32nd SEA Games.

Regarding the 2024-2025 Asian Cup, in addition to Cambodian football creating a miracle, there is another football in Southeast Asia that also has a miracle, that is Singapore.

Singapore Lion City Sailors reached the final of the AFC Champions League against Sharjah FC (UAE). The final of the AFC Champions League took place on May 18 at Bishan Stadium in Singapore.
