Integrity

The Cambodian Premier League (CPL) has been making strides in improving the integrity of its competition, and one of the key initiatives in this regard is the CPL Cares. This initiative focuses on promoting and safeguarding the integrity of the league, ensuring that it remains fair, transparent, and free from corruption and match-fixing.

Here are a few aspects related to The CPL Cares and its integrity initiatives:

1. Anti-Corruption and Anti-Match Fixing Measures:

CPL Cares works closely with local and international organizations to prevent match-fixing, corruption, and any unethical practices that might undermine the league's credibility. This involves strict monitoring, education programs for players, officials, and coaches, and clear punishments for those found involved in such activities - e.g., a lifetime ban from participating in the league. 

2. Transparency and Governance:

The league encourages transparency in its operations, particularly in financial matters and decision-making processes. Good governance helps build trust among stakeholders, including players, fans, sponsors, and the broader football community.

3. Player Welfare and Education:

CPL Cares also focuses on the welfare of players. This includes educating them about the risks of match-fixing, gambling, and other issues that might compromise the integrity of the sport. By providing support systems, it ensures that players understand their role in maintaining the league's fairness.

4. Community Engagement:

Through various outreach programs, CPL Cares promotes positive values, such as respect, fair play, and social responsibility, both on and off the field. These efforts help to cultivate a culture of integrity, not just among the professionals but also within local communities.

5. Collaboration with FIFA and AFC


As part of the Cambodian football ecosystem, the CPL collaborates with global football governing bodies such as FIFA and the AFC (Asian Football Confederation) to implement best practices and stay up-to-date with international standards for integrity in football.

By addressing integrity issues from multiple angles—education, monitoring, enforcement, and community involvement—CPL Cares aims to create a football environment that is fair, transparent, and built on ethical foundations. This contributes to the long-term success and sustainability of the league, earning it the respect of players, fans, and stakeholders alike.

The Cambodian Premier League is in partnership with professionals in the global football governing bodies that inspect, evaluate, and check on any suspicious patterns and behaviors. The CPL believes in the beauty of football and believes that football can make a positive impact on Cambodia.

Please join with the CPL in creating an environment and space where football integrity is held in the utmost manner of honor - an integral part of the identity and the character of Cambodian football.
