Ju-Jitsu Association President Re-elected to Sports Authority of Thailand Board
Assistant Professor Chanchai Suksuwan has secured a second term on the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) board following a decisive election victory.
On August 2, 2026, Assistant Professor Chanchai Suksuwan, President of the Ju-Jitsu Association of Thailand, was re-elected to the board of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT). According to reports from Khaosod Online, the election was held at the SAT headquarters in Hua Mak, Bangkok, under the supervision of SAT Governor Dr. Kongsak Yodmanee and Deputy Governor Dr. Meechai Inwood.
The position represents sports associations that include the phrase “of Thailand” in their official titles. Chanchai faced one challenger, Mr. Surachet Janduangto, President of the Weightlifting Association of Thailand. The final vote count was decisive, with Chanchai receiving 44 votes compared to 8 for Surachet.
For residents and sports enthusiasts in Thailand, this appointment confirms the continued influence of the Ju-Jitsu Association within the national sports administration. The SAT board plays a critical role in shaping sports policy, funding, and development strategies across the country. While this election solidifies the board's current composition, it remains to be seen how this leadership continuity will impact future resource allocation for various national sports programs. The election process was conducted formally, and the results have been officially recognized by the SAT leadership.
