Thai Youth Footballer Dies Following Accident, Netizens Mourn

A youth footballer from a well-known Thai school has died after an accident.

On 27 Feb 2026, tragic news struck the youth football community when the Assumption College Parents and Teachers Association posted a tribute for Itthikorn Chaikanit, a Grade 12 footballer from Assumption College, AC140 class, who peacefully passed away, prompting fans and netizens to mourn.

The cause of death was a car accident; doctors made every effort to save his life.

Previously, “Kee” had suffered an injury requiring surgery, causing him to miss the 31st Jaturamitr Football Tournament late last year.


Football fans poured out their condolences on Kee's passing.

- My condolences. May he rest peacefully and ascend to a better place. Sending strength to his family.

- My deepest sympathies. Rest in peace, son.
