Football is the most popular sport in Thailand.[2][3] Although the professional football leagues are new to Thai people, football was introduced to Thailand as far back as 1897. Many Thais also watch football on local and paid-cable TV. Many matches, especially those in the English FA Premier League can be watched free on local channels. Thai channels broadcast every match of the 2006 World Cup.
Football in Thailand is organised by Football Association of Thailand (FAT).
In 2007, Thailand co-hosted the Asian Cup 2007 with three other countries. This was the second time the event had been held in Thailand, the first being in 1972.
The most popular football clubs in Thailand are Premier League clubs Liverpool and Manchester United and Thai League 1 club Buriram United.[4]
