Following its failure to qualify for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup, it participated in the 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification first round where it beat Pakistan in both games 4–1 on aggregate to reach the second round where it obtained a 1–1 draw at home to Hong Kong, before receiving defeats in the remaining games against Hong Kong, Bahrain, Iraq and Iran.
Kit
Before May 27, 2022, the home kit was a blue and black shirt with black shorts and blue socks; while the original away kit was all white with a series of horizontal red stripes on the shirt. FBT sponsored this version of the kit.
On May 27, 2022, the team announced its new kit collection. The Khmer sportswear company Varaman established in February 2022 sponsored them with designs by HCD football agency Clan United. The designs are based upon the flag of Cambodia, with the blue and red tones from the flag featured along with a pattern made from pixelated images of Angkor Wat. The 2022 home shirt uses a 3 toned blue digital camouflage design. The away shirt is all white fabric, with a zoomed in section of the pattern decorated in faint blue and red tones whilst being separated by patterns and shapes. To match each set, the goalkeeper kits are red and blue for home and away respectively. The repeated element is "slightly off-coloured" from the base fabric. The training kits are blue, red, and white with a graffiti styled pattern on each.
