2016 Cambodian Second League
The Cambodian Second League was founded by the Football Federation of Cambodia. During the league, six teams compete against each other for the 2017 Cambodian League.
Rules
One team from each of the six different areas can enter the Cambodian Second League. Four teams from each of these Provinces: Western, Eastern, Northern, and Central- compete for entry. The Southern Province has five teams, and there are three teams from the Municipal Province.
The top team from each region plays in the Cambodian Second League upon qualification. The six teams that play in the Cambodian Second League are not permitted to have foreign players. Each team is required to have an even amount of players under 21 years of age, and players over 21 years of age.
During the competition there is no game play off, but there are Home and Away competitions. The top two teams will play in the top leagues of the 2017 season, replacing the previous two teams that had won Cambodian League.
The Cambodian Second League begins in early April 2016 and continues until June 2016. Games are held every Sunday.
The clubs that play in the top league have youth teams who play in Cambodian Second League, and the Football Federation of Cambodia will allow them to join the competition. However, if their youth team finished in the top two, it will not be allowed to play in the top league. Instead, it will play teams that finished 3rd or 4th in the competition.
Youth players who are members of the Under 16 Cambodia National Football Team and trained at the Bati training center are not allowed to join the competition.[1]
