Club career
In June 2015 both Sokpheng and his brother Sokngon were signed by Phnom Penh Crown to play in the 2015 Cambodian League. Ironically Phnom Penh Crown's first game of the season was against the Keo brothers' former team, Boeung Ket Angkor.[3][4][5]
Sokpheng signed for Malaysia's PKNP F.C. for one season, for the 2018 Malaysia Super League.[6] On his league debut for the club in 1 February 2018, Sokpheng became the first Cambodian to play in the Malaysian league, and the first Cambodian to score in the league, when his goal helps his team defeat Negeri Sembilan F.A. 1-0.[7] He was released by PKNP on May 2018, but despite rumors he rejoined Phnom Penh Crown,[8] Sokpheng joined another C-League team, Visakha FC in June 2018.[9]
International career
Sokpheng was a member of Cambodia's squad at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games football tournament, scoring three goals in four games. Soon after he was called up to the senior side to take part in 2018 World Cup qualification,[10] where he started in a 1-0 home defeat to Afghanistan.[11] He scored his first international goal in a friendly match against Bhutan.[12][13]
