In a formal reception at the Residence of the German Ambassador to Bangkok, Dr. Ernst Reichel, the official cheque handover of this year’s Thai.GER Charity Football Tournament took place — a moment of shared commitment and genuine gratitude.

We were honoured to welcome many of our sponsors, as well as representatives of the Austrian Embassy, Deputy Head of Mission Andreas Sumper, and Jean-Claude Ray of the Embassy of Switzerland in Thailand.

Dr. Ernst Reichel also presented the Ambassadors Cup to the German Allstars, who won this year’s tournament after a dramatic final.

During the evening, 760,000 THB were officially handed over to Usanee Janngeon, Executive Director of the Mercy Centre, together with John Vogel and Prawina Sompong — a record result for our tournament and a strong sign of collective support.

The funds will support the Romklao Preschool in Khlong Toei. With annual operating costs of approximately 1 million THB, this contribution already secures a large part of the school’s yearly budget and provides meaningful stability for the children and the team behind them.

Khun Usanee expressed her deep gratitude for the engagement of sponsors and volunteers, saying: “The children know that there are people who truly care about them. Thank you for that.”

For the Thai.GER Supporters, this moment marks not an endpoint, but a continuation. We remain in close contact with the Mercy Centre team and will continue regular visits, guided tours and opportunities for those who wish to see the Romklao Preschool and engage directly.

Since 2012, the Thai.GER Supporters have supported the Romklao Preschool through their annual charity initiatives — a partnership built on trust, responsibility and long-term commitment.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible!
