"111 Years of the Thailand National Team: 111 Jerseys of Remembrance". It marks a celebration of Thailand's football history through iconic jerseys.
"P'Aor Wang-Ong," Komkrit Napalai, Secretary of the Football History Association of Thailand,
invited Thai football fans to come and see 111 legendary jerseys from Thailand's football history.
This will be featured at the 13th Thailand Football Shirt Festival,
which will be held from 23 to 25 October 2026 at The Mall Lifestore Bangkae, Ground Floor.
This serves as a warm-up event leading up to the 111th anniversary of the founding of the first Siam national football team.
Taking place next month on 20 November 2026,
according to information from the Football History Association of Thailand,
Back on 20 November 1915, King Vajiravudh (Rama VI)
graciously established the first official Siam national football team under the name "Siam Football Committee."
The team was formed at the Samakkhaya Charn Association field within Suankularb Wittayalai School's grounds.
He also granted royal permission to use the "Great Crown Emblem"
as a badge of honor on the caps of footballers representing the nation.
This marked the beginning of the Thailand national football team's history, which has spanned over a century.
On the occasion of the 111th anniversary of the Thailand national team's founding,
the 13th Thailand Football Shirt Festival invites Thai football fans to revisit history and share in this pride,
through a special exhibition titled "111 Years of Thailand National Team."
This event will showcase 111 authentic match-worn jerseys from various eras of the Thailand national team,
all of which were worn by players in actual matches, known as "match-worn" shirts.
The exhibition is organized in cooperation with the Football History Association of Thailand and groups of national team shirt collectors.
These historically valuable jerseys will be displayed up close for fans to admire.
This is a unique opportunity for fans to journey through the history of the Thailand national team via these rare jerseys.
Besides the legendary jersey exhibition, fans will also have the chance to meet and talk with
famous former Thailand national footballers from various generations, who will participate throughout the three-day event.
Such as "The Tuck" Piyapong Pue-on, "Tong" Kawin Thamsatchanan,
"Nha Chatchai" Chatchai Paholpat, Yongyut Sangkogwit,
"Coach Yong" Worawut Srisupha, and "Coach Wang" Thawatchai Damrong-Ongtrakul,
along with many influencers and notable figures in the football community.
Another key highlight for fans and collectors is the vintage football shirt market,
which brings together vendors and collectors from across the country to set up stalls.
Visitors can browse, buy, and trade classic football shirts from all over the world,
including top club jerseys, legendary national team shirts, rare old football jerseys, and autographed shirts from famous players.
There will also be a variety of football-related collectibles available.
Attendees can enjoy games, activities, and prize giveaways during the event.
