[edit] 1966 World Cup
The stadium played a small part in the 1966 World Cup. Unexpectedly North Korea faced Australia in a qualifier. Because they had no diplomatic relations King Sihanouk came to the rescue; matches were held in Phnom Penh. Forty thousand fans filled the stadium and Sihounouk decreed half would cheer for Australia, while the other half cheered the Koreans, who won both games - "home" and "away" - played in succession in the same stadium. I think this is substantially more important and interesting than a Ronan Keating concert —Preceding unsigned comment added by 202.79.62.19 (talk) 06:41, 15 January 2008 (UTC)
