King Power Distributes One Million Footballs to Thai Youth Nationwide
King Power Group has distributed one million footballs to youth nationwide over 10 years, with employees delivering balls to schools, underprivileged children, and the national blind football team.
Believing that "opportunity" is the starting point of every dream, King Power Group operates the "Million Balls, Million Powers, Building Dreams for Thai Children" project, committed to distributing 1,000,000 footballs to children and youth nationwide to ignite dreams and support the development of youth sports potential.
Over the project's 10-year span, more than 20,000 King Power Group employees, serving as the "Thai Power Team," have participated in football-bridging activities, delivering hundreds of thousands of footballs to Thai youth and athletes across various dimensions. Employees can choose schools, communities, or areas to deliver footballs according to their preferences.
One story clearly reflecting the power of this football bridge is the gathering of King Power employees from various departments for a social activity at the Baan Dek Foundation School in Wang Dong Subdistrict, Mueang District, Kanchanaburi Province. The school cares for approximately 120 underprivileged youth from across the country, serving as a space for mental rehabilitation. Employees joined the children in football and recreational activities, hoping the footballs would be a small starting point helping children learn, develop skills, and dare to pursue their dreams.
Rungnapa Rodnum, a King Power employee, said visiting the school revealed things never seen before — the innocence and brightness of the children. Activities included inflating footballs and playing together; seeing the children's happiness felt like giving them new opportunities, and she was glad to be part of passing on opportunity.
Similarly, Siriporn Thappho, a King Power employee who delivered footballs to Ban Na Sanun School in Phetchabun Province, said she intentionally chose her childhood school, which was like a second home. Returning to give footballs to students at her alma mater felt warm, and seeing the children's smiles made her proud to be part of delivering the one-millionth football.
Additionally, employee efforts extended opportunities to disabled athletes by providing footballs to the Thailand national blind football team. Panyaowut Khupan, a national blind football player, said the international-standard footballs from King Power are well-suited for specialized training, enhancing ball control, agility, concentration, and real-game decision-making. He thanked King Power for supporting and recognizing the value of blind athletes, as every opportunity received drives them to develop and achieve for Thailand.
