Coach education is an important part of the programme. An LFC lead coach will be in charge of the coaching programme’s implementation and development in Thailand. Local coaches will benefit from an extensive education program, which includes the acclaimed LFC International Academy global accreditation.

Ian Rush, a Liverpool star and LFC International Academy ambassador, stated his excitement: “We’re thrilled to bring the first LFC International Academy to Thailand, a region with a strong passion for football and Liverpool FC.”

Our international coaching initiatives strive to provide a unique experience for young players.

The Liverpool Way will provide opportunities for both players and coaches to improve their skills on and off the field.

Surasak Areesawangkit, CEO of Liverpool International Academy Thailand, expressed his excitement: “It is an honor and joy to bring LFC International Academy to Thailand.

LFC has a great appeal in Thailand, and the club’s principles are well ingrained here. These values will help us create something special for our young athletes.”
