history

Khemara Keila was founded in 1997 and was one of the founding members of the newly created Cambodian League in 2005 . The association was sponsored by the Cambodian politician Norodom Ranariddh . In the debut season, Khemara won his first Cambodian football championship with a 3-0 win over Hello United . Through this success, the club qualified for the AFC President's Cup 2006 , in which Khemara was able to advance to the semi-finals, but there failed 3-0 at the later titleholder Dordoi-Dynamo . In the 2006 season, the team was able to successfully defend the national championship title. Again Khemara met in the final against the local rivals, now renamed Phnom Penh United , the game could be won 5: 4. In the AFC President's Cup 2007 Khemara was eliminated in the group stage.

After the introduction of the Hun Sen Cup , the national soccer cup competition of Cambodia, in 2007 Khemara Keila was able to advance to the final in the first edition. The final against Nagacorp FC , which took place on May 19, 2007 at the Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh , was won 4: 2 on penalties, after the end of regular time it was 1: 1. In the national league, Khemara finished eight points behind Nagacorp FC , and there was no play-off round this season. In 2009 Khemara was able to move into the final of the Cambodian football championship in the play-offs. The final played on September 26, 2009, however, was lost 2-1 after extra time against Nagacorp . In 2010, the club missed participation in the play-offs with 7th place. In November 2010, the club announced that it would withdraw from the 2011 Hun Sen Cup . The reason given was financial problems after Norodom Ranariddh withdrew as a sponsor. The resulting massive loss of players was also complained about. The club tried further to enable the game operation in the Cambodian League 2011 through new sponsors . However, the club no longer appeared for the 2011 season and has since been dissolved.
