Football Pitches in Pattaya, Chonburi

The Thailand national football team (known as the War Elephants) is one of the top association football teams in Southeast Asia.

This section lists the best football stadiums to watch and play the 'beautiful game' in the eastern seaboard of Thailand, including Pattaya United F.C.

Where Does Pattaya United Play Football?

In fact, there are more than seventy football stadiums with a 5,000+ capacity in the Kingdom of Thailand.

The Nongprue Municipality Stadium opened in 1999 and it can cater for 5,500 spectators.

This stadium is the home ground for Pattaya United football matches.

There are at least five more large-scale arenas in Chon Buri province that host regular football games.

Almost all the official reviews suggest that football, along with Muay Thai Boxing, is the most popular sport in Thailand. Well it certainly has an active domestic league and a zealous, somewhat frenetic, fanbase.

Not to be outdone by the men, Thailand's women's football program is strong too. The female national team carry the unusual nickname of 'Chaba Kaew' (roughly translates to 'pink elephants').

FA Thailand (e.g. the Football Association of Thailand) oversees the organisational aspects for all national and domestic football games around the country.
