Cambodian Wins Praise as “Most Dedicated Football Supporter”
Cambodian flew 5,600km to Iran to support his team for World Cup 2022 qualifiers. Cambodia lost 14-0.
A very enthusiastic one-man show.

Football is often called the “beautiful game” for a variety of reasons, especially for the most loyal fans who follow the sport.
Take this Cambodian man, for example:
Flew 5,648 kilometres
The still-unidentified man is believed to have been the only Cambodian supporter at the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qualifiers between Cambodia and Iran.
The game was held at Azadi Stadium in Tehran, Iran.
The two countries are 5,648 kilometres apart and a flight takes about seven hours and 40 minutes.
However, the distance seems to be no obstacle for the Cambodian super fan as he brought along a huge Cambodian flag laid nicely behind him, three drums and a loudhailer to support his national team, also knows as the Angkor Warriors.

Despite putting on a one-man show for the team, he probably left the stadium a little disappointed because the Angkor Warriors lost 14-0 against Iran.
Globally praised
But it seems like his efforts didn’t go in vain.
The superfan went viral on Twitter for his enthusiasm and loyalty towards the national team.
And one Twitter user has gone as far as to call him the “most dedicated football supporter” in the world.

Re: Cambodian Wins Praise as “Most Dedicated Football Supporter”
10-0, you have to kiss the opponent's team's buttcheeks. In a Youtube era, that's enough shame for several generations of Khmer supporter's descent.
14-0.....well i just whish him not to have bet all his pension money on this event.
At least they didn't bought the referee.
