History
[edit | edit source]In 2023, Life FC became the first Sihanoukville club to play in Cambodian League 2 after being confirmed by the Cambodian Premier League company.[1] The team played its first league game on 16 September 2023, drawing 1–1 against Angkor City.[2] Life was crowned champion of the second division on 31 March 2024, after drawing 4–4 against 2nd place Ministry of Interior FA, though tied on point, it had a better head-to-head record.[3] After a tight season, both Life and the Ministry of Interior got promoted to play in Cambodian Premier League for the 2024–25 season, with Life becoming the first club from Preah Sihanouk to play in the country's top football division.[4]
Life played their first Cambodian Premier League game on 11 August 2024, losing 1–0 to ISI Dangkor Senchey.[5] After 7 games without a win, Sovannara resigned leading to the appointment of Jörg Steinebrunner as the new head coach.[6][7] On 9 November 2024, Life won their first top-flight game, beating ISI Dangkor Senchey 1-0 in the second round of the regular season. They went on to win 3 more games throughout the season, placing them in 10th position, the second to last position in the table.
