The announcement was made during the Football Association of Thailand Awards 2024-25 in Bangkok on Wednesday (July 16).
It will be the first time the tournament is being held in the province, reports the Bangkok Post.
Kanchanaburi was successfully chosen over two other bidders, Chiang Mai and Songkhla, the latter of whom hosted last year’s tournament.
The 51st edition of the competition will be held at the 7,800-seat Kanchanaburi Stadium, also known as Kleebbua Stadium.
Iraq, the 2023 champions, Hong Kong, and Fiji have confirmed their participation, joining defending champions Thailand, in the Sept 1-9 competition.
The four teams will be drawn to face off in two ‘semi-finals’, and the winners will meet in the final.
All the matches will be FIFA International ‘A’ level, which award world ranking points.
Thailand won the tournament last year, beating Syria in the title match in Songkhla, the kingdom’s first triumph since the tournament has been held outside Bangkok.
The winner of the competition will be presented with the royal trophy by the His Majesty King Maha Vajiralongkorn.
The tournament was founded in 1968, and has been held every year since, with the exception of 1983, 1985, 2008, 2011, 2014, 2020 and 2021, with hosts Thailand involved in every one.
