History
[edit | edit source]Samui United Football Club was established in 2024 as the professional senior team of Samui United Academy, which had been operating as a youth football academy since 2010.[2] The club made its competitive debut in the 2024 season of the Thailand Semi-pro League, the fourth tier of the Thai football league system. In their inaugural season, Samui United competed in the Western region and played their home matches at the His Majesty the King's 80th Birthday Anniversary Stadium, Tha Yang Subdistrict Municipality in Tha Yang, Phetchaburi.[3][4] They finished sixth in the regional group stage, with a record of two wins, one draw, and three losses from six matches, scoring 11 goals and conceding 11.
In 2025, the club relocated its home base to the Ko Samui City Municipality International Stadium in their native Surat Thani province and was reassigned to the Southern region. Competing against only one other team, Chumphon United, Samui United finished at the top of the group after four matches with two wins and two draws, scoring six goals and conceding two. As regional champions, the club secured promotion to Thai League 3 for the 2025–26 season.[5][6] That season also saw former Thailand international Mika Chunuonsee[7] join the club as both vice president and registered player, marking a significant move as Samui United began to build a stronger professional structure.
