MEA teams up with FA Thailand to support the “MEA Futsal Thai League 2026” for the third consecutive year, expanding its scope to fully back the national team and women’s league. This effort aims to promote Thailand’s sports Soft Power globally while delivering happiness to city residents.
MEA, or the Metropolitan Electricity Authority, continues its vital mission under the vision “Energy for Metropolitan Life,” reaffirming its leadership in supporting Thai sports. It has joined forces with the Football Association of Thailand to sign a cooperation agreement to support professional futsal for the third consecutive year in the “MEA Futsal Thai League 2026.” This year marks a new milestone by extending support to the Thai national futsal team for international competitions and to the women’s futsal league, promoting equal opportunities. The initiative aims to build strong Soft Power, drive economic and social progress, and bring joy and pride to Thai people nationwide through exciting, accessible sports.

MEA also emphasizes gender equality by supporting “The Championship Women's Futsal 2026” to inspire and discover new rising stars. The “MEA Futsal Thai League 2026” will maintain its intensity with a playoff format: after 26 regular-season matches, the top six teams will compete to decide the champion. The competition is scheduled from May to December 2026.
Additionally, MEA focuses on using sports as a medium for social development (CSR) and building Soft Power by supporting the Paralympic Sports Association of Thailand, the Athletics Association, and volleyball sports, as well as subsidizing electricity costs for community sports courts to promote health and unity in urban neighborhoods.

MEA is not just a sponsor but a vital force driving the advancement and elevation of Thai futsal.”
He added that MEA’s support has helped strengthen and increase the appeal of the Thai Futsal League.
It has also provided morale and capability support to the Thai national futsal team, enabling them to bring honor to Thailand on the international stage and leading Thai futsal toward greater achievements.”
