==History== Angkor Tiger was primarily established in 2013 as TriAsia Phnom Penh FC owned by TriAsia Group Co. Ltd based in Phnom Penh City. In 2015, TriAsia Group Co. Ltd sold the club to another businessman, Akihiro Kato, who changed the club name to Cambodian Tiger FC. The new president of the club saw the potential of Siem Reap province, so he relocated the club to Siem Reap province in 2017. After one year based in Siem Reap province, the club rebranded its name as Angkor Tiger FC, in which represents the city of Siem Reap, globally famous for the Angkor Wat temple. In August 2023, Indian holding company SkaSports acquired minority stakes in the club.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/chennai-city-fc-i-league-owner-skasports-investment-cambodia-premier-league-angkor-tiger-football-club-news/article67250900.ece|date=30 August 2023|access-date=31 October 2023|website=sportstar.thehindu.com|publisher=Sportstar|title=SkaSports acquires stake in Angkor Tiger FC, becomes first Indian entity to co-own ASEAN football club|location=Chennai|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230906050904/https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/chennai-city-fc-i-league-owner-skasports-investment-cambodia-premier-league-angkor-tiger-football-club-news/article67250900.ece|archive-date=6 September 2023}}</ref>
