Port F.C.
Port Football Club (Thai: การท่าเรือ เอฟซี), commonly referred to as Port FC, is a professional association football club based in the Khlong Toei District of Bangkok, Thailand. Founded on September 27, 1967, by the Port Authority of Thailand, the club originally competed under the name Port Authority of Thailand FC and has since established itself as a prominent fixture in Thai football.[1] Competing in the Thai League 1, the top tier of Thai professional football, Port FC plays its home matches at PAT Stadium, which accommodates approximately 12,308 spectators and is renowned for its intense atmosphere generated by the club's dedicated supporters, known as the Port Lions or Khlong Toei Lions.[2] The team has a history of competitive success, including three Thai FA Cup victories, one Thai League Cup title, eight Kor Royal Cup wins, and six Queen's Cup triumphs, underscoring its status among Thailand's more accomplished clubs despite limited recent league championships—the last coming in 1985 under its original name.[3][4] Port FC has also participated in continental competitions such as the AFC Champions League and AFC Cup, reflecting its regional ambitions.[5] The club's identity is deeply tied to its maritime heritage, symbolized by its colors and emblem, and it maintains a strong community presence in Bangkok's port area, fostering a passionate fanbase that contributes to one of the Thai League's most vibrant matchday experiences.[6] Recent seasons have seen Port FC challenge for domestic honors, with notable performances in cup competitions, including the 2019 Thai FA Cup win, highlighting ongoing competitiveness in a league dominated by a few powerhouses.[7]
History
Foundation (1967–1968)
Port Authority of Thailand Football Club was established on 27 September 1967 by the Port Authority of Thailand, a government agency tasked with overseeing the country's maritime ports and logistics.[1][8] The formation aligned with broader efforts in Thailand during the 1960s to develop organized sports within public institutions, fostering employee welfare and national representation through company-backed teams.[9] In its debut competitive campaign during the 1967–68 season, the club competed in the Kor Royal Cup, the premier knockout tournament of the era, and secured victory, defeating opponents to claim the title as inaugural winners under the new entity.[10][3] This early success established the team as a competitive force, drawing from port workers and local talent in Bangkok's Khlong Toei district, where the authority's operations were centered.[6]Early successes (1968–1980)
Port Authority of Thailand FC, competing as the representative team of the state-owned Port Authority, secured its inaugural major trophy by winning the Kor Royal Cup in 1968, establishing itself as a formidable force in Thai club football during an era when the competition served as the premier domestic championship. This victory initiated a prolonged period of dominance, with the club capturing five additional Kor Royal Cup titles over the subsequent decade: in 1972, 1974, 1976, 1978, and 1979.[11] The team's success extended to other prominent competitions, including consistent performances in regional leagues and cups that underscored their organizational strength and player development under government backing. Historical league records indicate Port Authority topping standings in key tournaments during 1976, 1978, and 1979, reflecting sustained competitive edge amid a field of military and bank-sponsored rivals.[10] By the late 1970s, Port Authority had also excelled in the Queen's Cup, a knockout tournament honoring the Thai monarchy, achieving four straight victories from 1977 to 1980 and bolstering their reputation as one of Thailand's elite clubs before the professionalization of the league system in the 1980s. These accomplishments, totaling multiple championship-level honors, positioned the club as a benchmark for success in an amateur-dominated landscape reliant on institutional support rather than commercial revenue.[12]Rebranding and cup triumphs (2009–2010)
In early 2009, ahead of the Thai Premier League season, Port Authority of Thailand F.C. underwent a rebranding, adopting the name Thai Port F.C. to emphasize a broader national identity while retaining ties to its founding organization.[13] This change marked a shift from the club's original governmental nomenclature, aiming to enhance commercial appeal and fan engagement in a competitive domestic landscape.[14] The rebranded Thai Port F.C. achieved its first major trophy in 16 years by winning the revived Thai FA Cup on October 27, 2009, defeating BEC Tero Sasana in the final via a penalty shootout after a goalless draw, with forward Pipat Thonkanya scoring the decisive penalty.[15] This victory, the club's second FA Cup title overall, qualified them for continental competition and boosted morale following years of inconsistent league performances.[16] In 2010, Thai Port F.C. continued its cup success by claiming the inaugural Thai League Cup, overcoming Buriram PEA 2–1 in the final at Supachalasai Stadium, securing qualification for the 2011 AFC Cup group stage.[17] These back-to-back triumphs under coach Christophe Larreur highlighted the team's resilience and tactical discipline, though they finished fourth in the Thai Premier League that season, underscoring a focus on knockout formats over sustained league dominance.[16]Decline and relegation (2011–2015)
The decline of Thai Port FC, later rebranded as Port FC, was precipitated by persistent boardroom disputes involving ownership and management, which undermined team stability and recruitment. These internal conflicts, stemming from tensions between the Port Authority of Thailand and private investors, led to inconsistent coaching changes and limited resources, marking the onset of a challenging period beginning in 2011.[14] In the 2012 Thai Premier League season, the club's performance deteriorated markedly, culminating in relegation to the Thai Division 1 League as one of the bottom three teams. Thai Port's demotion was sealed on the penultimate matchday with a 1–2 home defeat to champions SCG Muangthong United at PAT Stadium.[18] The team briefly renamed itself Port FC at the season's start before reverting to Thai Port, reflecting administrative turmoil.[19] Following relegation, Port FC competed in the second-tier Thai Division 1 League during the 2013 season, where they secured promotion back to the top flight by finishing in a playoff-qualifying position. However, upon returning to the Thai Premier League in 2014, the club struggled again, ending the 2013–14 campaign in 15th place out of 20 teams. Persistent financial constraints and squad instability prevented consolidation, leading to another relegation at the conclusion of the 2015 season.[20][14] This yo-yo status between divisions highlighted the debilitating impact of unresolved governance issues, with the club absent from the elite level for much of the mid-2010s.[21]Resurgence under new ownership (2015–present)
In February 2015, Port F.C. entered a joint venture agreement with the Port Authority of Thailand, under which Nualphan Lamsam, chief executive of Muang Thai Insurance and the first woman to serve as president of a Thai League club, assumed the role of chief executive officer.[22] This arrangement marked a shift toward private investment in club operations while retaining public sector ties, with Lamsam injecting resources to stabilize finances amid prior instability.[23] The 2015 Thai League 1 season ended in relegation for Port, finishing near the bottom after a campaign plagued by inconsistent results and failure to score in nearly half of matches.[3] However, under Lamsam's leadership, the club rebounded swiftly in the Thai League 2, securing promotion back to the top flight at the conclusion of the 2015–16 season through strong performance and playoff success.[3] This rapid ascent demonstrated effective restructuring, including squad reinforcements and operational improvements funded by the new partnership. Since regaining top-tier status in 2017, Port has maintained continuous presence in Thai League 1, transitioning from mid-table survival to regular contention among the league's elite. The club captured the Thai FA Cup in 2019, its first major trophy in nearly a decade, highlighting enhanced competitiveness.[23] Investments in infrastructure, youth development, and high-profile signings have fostered a reputation for attacking football and one of the Thai League's most vibrant atmospheres at PAT Stadium.[6] By the early 2020s, Port's resurgence extended to continental competition, qualifying for the AFC Champions League Two in the 2024–25 season based on domestic performance. Lamsam's tenure has been credited with reviving the club's stature, earning her recognition from Thai authorities for contributions to football development, though sustained league title challenges remain elusive amid dominance by clubs like Buriram United.[24] As of October 2025, Port continues to vie for top-four finishes, underscoring a decade of stabilization and ambition.[25]Club identity
Name, crest, and colors
Port Football Club, known in Thai as สโมสรฟุตบอล การท่าเรือ เอฟซี, was established on September 27, 1967, by the Port Authority of Thailand, a state-owned enterprise responsible for managing Bangkok's port facilities in the Khlong Toei district.[1] The name "Port" directly references this ownership and the club's origins as a corporate team tied to maritime operations.[26] Over time, the club underwent rebranding, including periods as Thai Port F.C. (2007–2012) and Singhtarua F.C. (2013–2014), before standardizing as Port F.C. to emphasize its foundational identity.[27] The club's crest has evolved alongside these name changes, with early versions featuring "PAT FC" lettering to denote Port Authority of Thailand F.C., transitioning to designs incorporating "Thai Port" and later simplified to "Port FC" elements that evoke the team's harbor-based heritage and nickname, "Lions of the Harbor."[27] Port F.C.'s official colors are orange and blue, drawn from the traditional uniforms of Khlong Toei fishermen and adopted at the club's founding in 1967.[28] These hues symbolize the district's fishing community roots and are displayed in the home kit's distinctive vertical orange-and-blue stripes, as seen in the 2024–25 season design by Grand Sport.[29] The color scheme underscores the club's connection to its Bangkok port locale, with orange representing energy and blue evoking the sea.Supporters and fan culture
Port F.C. supporters, collectively known as the Khlong Toei Army, draw their identity from the club's origins in Bangkok's working-class Khlong Toei district, fostering a loyal fanbase tied to local community pride and the Port Authority's historical presence.[30][26] This group predominantly consists of district residents who exhibit intense dedication, often attending matches in the club's signature orange and blue kits, symbolizing unwavering allegiance.[26] The fan culture emphasizes communal passion over aggression, aligning with broader Thai football traditions of politeness, such as mutual applause between home supporters and visiting teams at match end.[31] The atmosphere at PAT Stadium, generated by these fans, is widely regarded as one of the most electric in the Thai League, characterized by raucous chanting, coordinated displays, and high-energy support that rivals European-style ultras.[6][32] Ultras subgroups, including Ultras Hellgate, organize tifo choreographies—such as those using bin bags for visual effects—and multilingual songs in Thai and English, drawing inspiration from international fan practices while maintaining local rituals.[33][34] Port F.C. also attracts a notable expatriate following, with foreign fans integrated into the Khlong Toei Army through shared attendance and enthusiasm, contributing to stable crowd sizes even during league fluctuations.[21][35] In the 2025–26 Thai League 1 season, Port F.C. recorded an average home attendance of 5,475 across five matches, totaling 27,373 spectators, underscoring consistent support amid the league's variable turnouts.[36] This fan commitment persists through rituals like district-based gatherings and online communities, such as the club's Instagram fanpage with over 28,000 followers, amplifying engagement beyond stadium walls.[37]Rivalries
Port F.C.'s primary rivalry is with Muangthong United, often dubbed the Battle of Bangkok or a key derby in the Thai League 1, stemming from their shared status as prominent clubs in the Greater Bangkok area and competition for regional dominance. Matches between the two sides have historically featured high stakes, with Port viewing Muangthong as arch-rivals due to battles over player signings and league positions.[38][6] This fixture draws intense fan involvement, including choreographed tifos and vocal support, as evidenced in their October 25, 2025, encounter where both clubs displayed elaborate displays.[39] The rivalry intensified in recent years, marked by volatile atmospheres and rare away fan attendances; Muangthong supporters returned to Port's PAT Stadium after a nine-year absence for a March 2025 match, heightening tensions.[40] Port has generally held an edge in head-to-head results, though outcomes vary by season, with the derby influencing mid-table positioning as seen in the 2025 campaign where both teams vied in the league's middle ranks.[41] Fan culture amplifies the antagonism, with Port's ultras contrasting Muangthong's organized groups, contributing to what observers describe as one of Thailand's most passionate urban derbies.[42] Secondary competitive tensions exist with Buriram United, Thailand's most dominant club, fueled by league title contests rather than geographic proximity; SoccerWiki identifies Buriram among Port's rivals based on frequent high-profile clashes.[2] However, these lack the localized fervor of the Muangthong derby, focusing instead on national supremacy challenges, such as Port's December 2023 home game against Buriram labeled a "huge rivalry" by attendees.[43] Historical roots trace to Port's origins as a state authority team, fostering occasional friction with military-affiliated sides like Navy F.C., though this has waned post-rebranding.[2]Facilities and infrastructure
Stadium and venues
PAT Stadium, located in the Khlong Toei District of central Bangkok, Thailand, serves as the primary home venue for Port F.C.[44] The stadium, originally known as Tha Ruea Stadium, was constructed in 1967 and is owned by the Port Authority of Thailand, from which the venue derives its name.[44] It features four stands labeled A through D, with a seating capacity of 6,250, though some estimates suggest a total spectator capacity exceeding 12,000 when including standing areas.[44][45] The venue is renowned for its electric atmosphere, particularly during matches where Port F.C. supporters create an intimidating environment for visiting teams, encapsulated in the fan chant and motto: "This is Khlong Toei—this is the away team's hell."[46] This intensity has contributed to the stadium's reputation as one of the most vibrant in the Thai League 1, drawing consistent crowds and fostering a strong home advantage.[6] While PAT Stadium hosts the majority of Port F.C.'s domestic league and cup fixtures, the club occasionally utilizes larger venues in Bangkok for high-attendance matches or continental competitions to accommodate demand, though specific instances remain tied to scheduling needs rather than permanent relocation. Training sessions are primarily conducted at PAT Stadium facilities, with temporary use of external grounds such as Bangkok Thonburi University reported in recent seasons for supplemental sessions.[47]Youth academy and development
Port F.C. operates a youth academy that participates in Thailand's national youth competitions, including the PEA U21 Youngster League, aimed at fostering emerging talent through structured matches and training.[48] The program emphasizes grassroots development, providing opportunities for young players to showcase skills in league play, with live broadcasts enhancing visibility and supporting sustainable growth in Thai football.[48] In 2021, the club's U21 team received coaching support from international expertise, with Andy, director of the FCB Academy, leading the squad in the Thailand Youth League to elevate tactical and technical proficiency.[49] Collaborations with school-based programs, such as those linked to Patumkongka FC, integrate youth training with educational environments to nurture well-rounded athletes.[50] Recent initiatives under partnerships, including a 2025 technical agreement with Mizuno via Future Performance Sports, incorporate youth education and community programs around Bangkok, focusing on skill-building and fan engagement to strengthen the pipeline from academy to senior levels.[51] While specific graduate progression to the first team remains limited in public records, the academy's structure aligns with broader efforts to produce competitive players for domestic leagues.Administration and staff
Ownership and key officials
Port F.C. was established in 1967 under the ownership of the Port Authority of Thailand, a state entity that maintained control over the club for decades as its primary patron and operator.[6][30] The club's ownership structure evolved in the 2010s with increased private investment from the Lamsam family, prominent Thai business figures linked to Muang Thai Insurance Public Company Limited; Nualphan Lamsam, a key family member, served as chairwoman starting around 2015, overseeing a period of financial stabilization and on-field resurgence following relegation threats.[52] On December 25, 2023, Nualphan Lamsam stepped down as chairman to assume the presidency of the Football Association of Thailand, prompting the appointment of her brother, Chalermchoke Lamsam, as the new chairman; this transition maintained family stewardship while formalizing Chalermchoke's role in club operations.[53] As of October 2025, Chalermchoke Lamsam holds positions as both owner and chairman, supported by vice-president Charnwit Polcheewin, who joined the board concurrently with the 2023 leadership change; the board also includes family-affiliated figures, reflecting the Lamsam clan's dominant influence amid ongoing ties to the original Port Authority patron.[54]Managerial history
Port F.C. has experienced significant managerial turnover since its resurgence under new ownership in 2015, with appointments reflecting efforts to blend local expertise and international tactics amid fluctuating league performance. Early post-2015 hires included foreign coach Gary Stevens, who assumed the role on 16 June 2015, followed by Thai managers such as Dusit Chalermsang and Somchai Chuayboonchum in transitional periods around 2014–2015.[55] This pattern of frequent changes intensified in the 2020s, driven by inconsistent results and high expectations for titles in Thai League 1.[56] In recent years, the club has relied heavily on Thai coaches with multiple short tenures, before shifting to a high-profile foreign appointment in 2025. Choketawee Promrut, a former player for the club, held several interim and full roles, including from 21 July 2019 to 30 March 2020 (16 matches, 2.06 points per game), 5 February 2023 to 8 November 2023, and brief stints in late 2024 and early 2025.[55][56] Rangsan Viwatchaichok managed from 7 November 2023 to 2 November 2024 (39 matches, 1.92 points per game) and a shorter term from 11 November 2024 to 15 January 2025 (8 matches, 1.00 points per game).[55] Sarawut Treephan oversaw the team from 26 September 2020 to 31 December 2021.[56]| Manager | Nationality | Tenure | Matches | Points per Game |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Alexandre Gama | Brazil | 1 June 2025 – present | 9 | 1.78 |
| Choketawee Promrut | Thailand | 24 January – 7 May 2025 | 17 | 1.47 |

Notable former players
David Rochela, a Spanish centre-back, joined Port FC in 2015 and became the club's long-serving captain, making over 150 appearances in the Thai League and contributing defensively to the team's Thai League Cup triumph in 2019.[60][61] He scored crucial goals, including penalties in AFC Champions League matches, before leaving the club in 2023.[60] Kevin Deeromram, a Thailand international left-back of Swedish descent, spent eight seasons with Port FC from 2017 to 2025, featuring in more than 200 matches and earning caps for the national team.[62][63] His tenure included key contributions to domestic cup successes prior to his transfer to Selangor FC.[62] Dragan Bošković, a Montenegrin striker, played for Port FC from 2017 to 2020, scoring prolifically with notable performances in the Thai League and cups, including recognition as a top goalscorer in club competitions during his stint.[64] He netted in multiple seasons, aiding the team's attacking output before retiring after playing for other Thai clubs.[64] Predrag Sikimić, a Serbian centre-forward, featured for Port FC in the early 2010s, leveraging his experience from European leagues to score important goals and help stabilize the forward line during transitional periods.[65] His physical presence and finishing ability marked him as a standout foreign import.[65]Records and achievements
Domestic league performance
Port F.C., competing as Port Authority of Thailand FC in its early years, won its only domestic top-division league title in 1985, during the Thai Division 1 League era, defeating rivals to claim the championship.[4] The club, founded in 1967, participated in predecessor competitions like the Royal Cup-dominated semi-professional leagues but achieved limited further league dominance amid a landscape favoring cup successes.[11] With the advent of the fully professional Thai Premier League in 1996–97, Port maintained top-flight presence for nearly two decades, posting mid-table results in the 2000s and early 2010s, such as avoiding relegation through consistent but unremarkable performances.[20] A downturn culminated in relegation after the 2014–15 season, finishing 17th out of 18 teams with poor defensive records contributing to the drop.[20] Promotion was secured in 2016 via a third-place finish in Thai League 2, marking the start of a resurgence characterized by aggressive recruitment and tactical discipline under successive managers.[20] Since then, Port has become a perennial top-half contender in Thai League 1, achieving runner-up finishes twice and multiple podiums, though without clinching the title amid competition from clubs like Buriram United.[66] High goal tallies—such as 55 in 2019—underscore offensive prowess, but defensive lapses have occasionally hindered title challenges.[67]| Season | League | Position | Notes |

Cup and continental competitions
Port F.C. has achieved notable success in Thailand's primary domestic cup competitions, particularly the Thai FA Cup and Thai League Cup. The club secured its first Thai FA Cup title in the 1981–82 season, followed by victories in 2008–09 and 2019, bringing its total to three wins.[5] In the 2019 final, Port defeated Ratchaburi Mitr Phol 1–0 at Leo Stadium, with Sergio Suárez scoring the decisive goal, marking the club's second FA Cup triumph after 2009.[7] The 2010 Thai League Cup victory came via a 2–1 win over Buriram PEA at Supachalasai Stadium, representing Port's sole title in that competition to date.[3] In continental competitions under the Asian Football Confederation (AFC), Port has made limited but significant appearances. The 2019 Thai FA Cup win qualified the club for the 2020–21 AFC Champions League, where it participated in qualifying rounds but did not advance to the group stage.[16] Port also entered the AFC Cup once, though specific campaign details remain sparse in records. More recently, finishing third in the 2023–24 Thai League 1 earned qualification for the 2024–25 AFC Champions League Two group stage.[70] In that tournament's Group F, Port recorded three wins, one draw, and four losses across eight matches, including a 1–0 defeat to Persib Bandung and encounters with teams like Lion City Sailors, but failed to progress further.[70][71] These participations highlight Port's emergence in Asian club football amid Thailand's growing AFC representation, though without titles or deep runs.[3]Honours
Port F.C. has secured three Thai FA Cup titles, in the 1981–82, 2008–09, and 2019 seasons.[5][3] The club won its lone Thai League Cup in 2010, defeating Buriram PEA 2–1 in the final at Supachalasai Stadium.[3] In invitational and royal competitions, Port F.C. holds a record eight Kor Royal Cup victories and six Queen's Cup triumphs, primarily achieved during its earlier incarnations as Port Authority of Thailand F.C. and predecessors.[3][72] These include the 1968 Kor Royal Cup and the 1980 Queen's Cup, among others verified in historical records.[73] The club has not won the Thai League 1 or its predecessors, though it has earned promotions and runner-up finishes in lower divisions.[11][3]Sponsorships and kits
Kit suppliers
Port F.C. has primarily partnered with Thai-based manufacturers for its kits, though international brands have occasionally supplied them. Grand Sport Group, a prominent Thai sportswear company, has served as the club's kit supplier during multiple periods, including 2013, 2016–2021, and 2023–2025, producing home, away, and third kits featuring the club's traditional blue and orange colors derived from Khlong Toei port worker uniforms.[74] In 2014, Japanese brand Mizuno provided the kits, marking an early international collaboration.[74] This was followed by Spanish manufacturer Joma in 2015.[74] From 2021 to 2023, Thai brand Ari supplied the kits, introducing designs with vertical stripes and modern fabric technologies.[74] Since the 2025–26 season, Mizuno has returned as the official kit supplier, launching jerseys inspired by the club's Khlong Toei roots with advanced moisture-wicking materials.[75] [74]| Period | Supplier |

Shirt sponsors
Port F.C.'s shirt sponsorships have primarily featured prominent Thai corporations, with the main chest logo reflecting key commercial partners. Since 2016, Muang Thai Insurance has served as the primary shirt sponsor, coinciding with the club's rebranding and increased investment under its ownership influence, appearing on home, away, and third kits through the 2025–26 season.[76][77] Earlier sponsorships included a mix of automotive, energy, and beverage brands, often tied to the club's Port Authority roots and Thai market dynamics:| Years | Main Shirt Sponsor |
