Cambodia played their first FIFA-recognised matches in 2018 at the AFF Women's Championship. They won their first match, a 12–0 victory over Timor-Leste on 30 June 2018.[17][18] They lost their other three group stages matches, all without scoring another goal.[19] Cambodia entered the AFF Women's Championship again in 2019 and 2022.

Beyond the AFF Women's Championship, Cambodia participated in the Southeast Asian Games in 2021, losing both their games and not scoring any goals.[22] The captain of the team in their first tournament in 2018 was Hout Koemhong, who grew up in an orphanage and trained at SALT Academy for six years.[23] The captain in 2022 was Ban Cheavey.[24]
