The Thai.GER Charity Football Tournament 2026 truly exceeded all expectations. With perfect weather, a fantastic atmosphere and guests joining us from early morning until late evening, the day was filled with sport, joy and a strong sense of community.

We are incredibly happy to already share this news: This year’s tournament has achieved a record result!

While a few final donations are still coming in, we can already confirm that we have exceeded last year’s total of 570,000 THB.

Thank you to everyone who made this possible.

👧 Morning highlights – kids first

The day started with the Kids Charity Run, full of energy, smiles and proud little finishers receiving their medals. This was followed by the kids’ tournament, with fantastic performances by all teams. Congratulations to U10 Champion: Port FC.

A very special moment for all of us:

Two teams from the Mercy Center took part in the tournament, and children from the Mercy Center performed a beautiful dance together with their teachers – a truly touching highlight of the day.

⚽ A milestone moment – women’s football

For the first time in the history of the Thai.GER Tournament, women’s teams competed on the pitch.

Four teams took part, bringing incredible energy, passion and team spirit.
Congratulations to Venus FC, the winners of the women’s tournament – and heartfelt respect to all teams for making this historic debut so special.
