32 Universities to Compete in National Football Championship
The 4th Thailand University Football Championship has entered its final round, featuring 32 institutions competing for a prize pool exceeding 1 million baht.
According to a report by Khaosod Online Thailand, the Ministry of Higher Education, Science, Research and Innovation (MHESI) officially announced the final round of the 4th Thailand University Football Championship. The press conference, held on July 31, 2026, at the Ministry’s office on Yothi Road, confirmed that 32 institutions from across the country have qualified for the final tournament.
The event, which features a total prize pool of over 1 million baht, will be hosted by Khon Kaen University. The competition follows a rigorous selection process that saw 70 teams from five regional zones—including 20 teams from Bangkok—compete for a spot in the finals. The announcement was led by MHESI Permanent Secretary Prof. Dr. Supachai Pathumnakul, alongside representatives from the organizing committee and participating universities.
For residents and travelers, this event highlights a significant increase in local sporting activity and university-level engagement. While the tournament promises to bring increased foot traffic and regional interest to Khon Kaen, visitors should note that specific match schedules and venue access details for the public have yet to be fully detailed. Those interested in attending should monitor official announcements from Khon Kaen University or the Ministry for updates on ticketing and match timings as the tournament progresses.
