Nicolas Miccelsen, a Thai-Norwegian striker, has become the second Thai national to play in the German Bundesliga after his club SV Elversberg secured promotion. In the Bundesliga 2 match on May 17, SV Elversberg hosted Freiburg Münster at Falkenstadt Kaiserlinde stadium. A win would guarantee immediate promotion to the German top division. Elversberg dominated the match convincingly, winning 3-0 to collect 62 points from 34 matches, securing runner-up status and automatic promotion to the German Bundesliga. Though tied on points with Paderborn, Elversberg's superior goal difference secured their second-place finish. In the match, Nicolas Miccelsen came on as a substitute in the 79th minute, replacing Lars Günther, making him the second Thai national to play in the German top flight, following Coach Heng Withaya Louhagoal, who previously played for Hertha Berlin in 1979.
