Once, 29 years ago, Roberto Baggio, the legendary Italian national footballer, visited Thairath Newspaper.
Roberto Baggio, the legendary Italian national team striker who once won the Ballon d'Or, visited Thairath Newspaper at its Vibhavadi office on 29 May 1996 to tour the country's best-selling daily newspaper. He was warmly welcomed by Khun Ying Praneet Sin Wacharapol amid a very cordial atmosphere.
The next day (30 May), Baggio led AC Milan teammates including Franco Baresi, Paolo Maldini, and George Weah, under coach Fabio Capello, in a special football match against the Thailand national team. The event celebrated the 50th anniversary of His Majesty King Rama IX's reign and was held at Suphachalasai Stadium.
Moreover, Thairath Newspaper also published news about Baggio.
For example, the 29 May 1996 edition featured a headline reading "The Handsome Baggio Visits Thairath."
Roberto Baggio is scheduled to fly to Thailand to participate in the "Thailand Sports Collectibles Convention 2026" (TSCC'26), the largest gathering for sports collectors featuring cards, vintage jerseys, and rare memorabilia. The event will take place on 16-17 May 2026 at Central Westgate, 4th floor, offering a comprehensive experience in one place.
