Pasin Pitutecha, manager of Rayong FC and Member of Parliament for Rayong province, clearly stated readiness to host the King's Cup 2026.
On 30 April 2026, the 52nd King's Cup football tournament for the royal trophy will be held, with three provinces bidding to host: Sisaket, Khon Kaen, and Rayong.
Recently, MP Kla Pasin Pitutecha, manager of Rayong FC, confirmed the readiness to organize the competition and to take on hosting duties for the King's Cup 2026 in November this year.
The proposed venues are Rayong Central Stadium, with a capacity of about 7,500 seats (currently home to Rayong FC), and PTT Stadium, which can accommodate around 12,000 spectators. Discussions with PTT management revealed that if Rayong Central Stadium is used, seating upgrades will be necessary, while PTT Stadium is fully prepared.
Regarding facilities and accommodations, Rayong is highly prepared. As a tourist city, it has ample hotels to accommodate visitors. Travel is convenient too, with Rayong located about 175 kilometers from Bangkok, roughly a 3-hour journey.
The announcement of the selected host for the King's Cup 2026 will take place at the FA Awards event around July.
