Trat FC Folds After Missing League Licensing Deadline
Trat FC has folded after failing to meet licensing deadlines for Thai League competition, joining two other eastern Thailand clubs in dissolving this season and leaving League 3 with just 11 teams.
Trat FC, a former Thai League competitor from eastern Thailand, appears poised to fold after demonstrating no activity and failing to submit club licensing documentation to enter competition. The once-prominent club had previously competed in the Thai League professional system before dropping down the divisions in recent years. Latest reports confirm that Trat FC will not participate in Thai League 3 after previously failing to submit licensing for Thai League 2. Although the Thai Football Association attempted to encourage the club to enter League 3, no movement has occurred, with the club's social media pages also showing no activity since May, suggesting a permanent exit. This leaves the eastern zone of League 3 in turmoil this season, with three teams now dissolved or suspended—including Sai Mit Kabinburi and Ban Kha United—reducing the division to just 11 competing teams. The association has been unable to recruit replacement teams from the semi-professional league due to many clubs failing to meet licensing requirements.
