Visakha finished as runners-up in the Cambodian League in 2019, marking its first major achievement in the top division. The club also reached the semi-finals of the Hun Sen Cup that year. In 2020, Visakha won its first Hun Sen Cup title, defeating Nagaworld 2–0 in the final. The victory secured the club's first major domestic trophy and qualification for the 2021 AFC Cup. However, the competition was cancelled because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Visakha retained the Hun Sen Cup in 2021 before winning it for a third consecutive time in 2022. These victories established the club as one of Cambodia's leading teams in knockout competitions. In the 2022 Cambodian Premier League season, Visakha finished as runners-up behind Phnom Penh Crown.
The club also participated in the 2022 AFC Cup, competing in Group G against Philippines club Kaya–Iloilo, Indonesian club Bali United and Malaysian club Kedah Darul Aman. Visakha finished second in the group after recording a 5–2 victory over Bali United and a 2–1 win against Kaya–Iloilo, but lost 5–1 to Kedah Darul Aman. The results ended its continental campaign at the group stage.
Visakha remained among the leading clubs in Cambodia, finishing third in the 2023–24 and 2024–25 Cambodian Premier League seasons. During the 2024–25 campaign, the club finished third in the regular season and advanced to the championship play-offs. Although it did not win the league title, Visakha continued to compete for domestic honours and developed its squad through a combination of Cambodian and foreign players.
