Angkor Tiger FC (headquartered in Siem Reap, Cambodia, owner: Akitaka Kato) held the "Khmer Food Festival," themed around local food culture, at its home stadium, Kato Akitaka Stadium, on April 25, 2026.

On the day, 20 local restaurants and specialty stores participated. 2,143 spectators filled the stadium, enjoying traditional Cambodian cuisine and local products alongside watching football. The event was enveloped in an unprecedented excitement, where football spectating and local culture merged.

Background of the Event: Aiming for Regional Pride and Revitalization

Angkor Tiger FC is committed to contributing to the community both on and off the pitch, under its mission to "become a symbol of Cambodia's dreams, hopes, and courage."

The "Khmer Food Festival" was held with the aim of celebrating the rich food culture that Cambodia's Siem Reap boasts, together with supporters and residents. By having local restaurants and producers set up stalls at the stadium, the event promoted local production and consumption, contributed to the regional economy, and served as a platform to connect traditional culture to the next generation.

2,143 People Enjoyed a Unique "Food Experience" at the Stadium

Many families visited the stadium before the match started, savoring traditional Khmer dishes. The food area, lined with local flavors, became a place for fans to interact while waiting for kickoff.

By adding familiar "local flavors" to the "extraordinary" space of a football match, the stadium transformed from a mere sports venue into a "town square" where local residents could enjoy themselves together.

The Form of a Football Club Walking Hand-in-Hand with the Community

Angkor Tiger FC aims to empower the people of Cambodia through the power of football and bring a positive impact to the local community. Food festivals like this prove that sports can be a foundation that supports culture and tradition.

Moving forward, we will continue our activities to create a brighter future for Cambodia, deeply rooted in Siem Reap, together with our fans and regional partners.

Comment from Angkor Tiger FC Local Representative

"Our mission, 'a symbol of dreams, hopes, and courage,' is not only about football results but also about the process of sharing the wonderful local culture and traditions. Siem Reap, in particular, is a tourist city with many foreign tourists and residents. I am very pleased to see many smiles regardless of nationality through the Khmer Food Festival. We will continue to aim to be a club that can be the pride of Siem Reap and Cambodia."
