Muang Thong, Police Tero Stage Charity Match for Thai Special Olympics
Thai League clubs Muang Thong United and Police Tero FC will host a charity football match on August 29 to raise funds for the Thai Special Olympics, marking their fifth year supporting athletes with intellectual disabilities.
Muang Thong United and Police Tero FC are joining forces to organize the 2026 Charity Football Match supporting Thai Special Olympics. The two Thai League powerhouses will field squads of prominent national and international players in a friendly match on August 29 at Thunder Dome Stadium in Muang Thong Thani at 6:30 p.m. This marks the fifth consecutive year of fundraising for the Thai Special Olympics Association, which uses sports to develop intellectually disabled athletes—a population exceeding 2 million in Thailand and among the most socially vulnerable. Dr. Narit Chaisut, president of the Thai Special Olympics Association, praised the clubs' commitment, noting that Thailand's unified women's football team recently achieved third place at the Special Olympics Unified Football World Cup in Paris in July, becoming the only Southeast Asian representative in the final three. Vasuwat Loatthong, manager of Muang Thong United, stated the club is proud to continue supporting the initiative and inspire Special Olympics athletes to develop their potential. Vorapop Pongsuwarn, manager of Police Tero FC, expressed honor at participating for the first time and commitment to helping intellectually disabled Thai athletes develop skills and pursue international competition.
