The King’s Cup, an annual international football tournament hosted in Thailand since its inception in 1968, has consistently showcased top-notch football talent from around the world. Hosts Thailand have played a pivotal role in every edition of this prestigious event.

The upcoming edition of the King’s Cup will mark the fourth appearance of the Indian national football team in this esteemed competition.
