A press conference was held on Wednesday at the Robinson Lifestyle shopping mall in Thalang, hosted by club president Thammawat Wongcharoenyot, who also serves as the head of the Sports Association of Phuket.
Joining Mr Thammawat were fellow club directors, including: vice president Wanchalim Wongcharoenyot; director Kritada Oin; team manager Pisut Boonkoi; and head coach Charupong Sangphong.
Mr Thamwarat explained that the club’s main collective goal is to restore and build trust among the fans so as to help develop the club into a stronger and more professional entity that can proudly represent Phuket province.
Mr Wanchalem added that he and his fellow directors are confident that the team has the potential to achieve these goals in the short and long term to make the people of Phuket proud once again after a tumultous last campaign where the club only survived relegation in the final minutes of the last game of the season.
The team, which comprises seven Thai nationals, foreign players and emerging young talent, will be led this coming season by captain Patapi Thiamtan, who is joined by new signings Pathavi Thiamtan, Coulibaly Chomana, Mohamed Kouadio and Saroj Chitrsena.
Wednesday’s event also served as the official launch of the new kit for the 2025-2026 season. Three different kits were unveiled, including a home and away kit and a goalkeeper’s jersey. Several players shocased the new strip and received a warm ovation from fans at the event.
