Muangthong United Signs Former National Team Winger Pakorn Prempak
Following their relegation to Thai League 2, Muangthong United has bolstered their squad by signing former national team winger Pakorn Prempak.
Muangthong United has officially introduced Pakorn Prempak, a former Thai national team winger, as their latest signing for the upcoming 2026-27 Thai League 2 season. The club, known as the 'Twin Qilins,' is currently rebuilding after being relegated from the top flight, a situation that has left many fans uncertain about the team's ability to secure an immediate return to the Thai League 1.
Pakorn, who played for Port FC last season, is expected to provide a significant boost to the team's offensive capabilities. Known for his precision in set-piece situations, he will join forces with fellow former national team player Charoensak Wongkorn at the Thunder Dome Stadium. Following his introduction, Pakorn immediately participated in his first training session with the squad, despite rainy conditions.
For residents and football enthusiasts in Thailand, this signing marks a pivotal moment in the club's attempt to navigate the challenges of the second division. Muangthong United is scheduled to kick off their campaign on September 4, 2026, with an away match against Uttaradit FC at the Mon Mai Stadium.
While the arrival of experienced players like Pakorn provides a morale boost, it remains to be confirmed whether these roster changes will be sufficient to secure the club's promotion back to the top tier within a single season, as the competitive landscape of Thai League 2 remains to be seen.
