July 3, 2025
Introducing the Global ‘FIFA For Schools’ Program – Inspiring Fun, Values, and Growth Through Sports
Phuket, Thailand [30 June, 2025] – Now in its 19th year, ‘Sansiri Academy’, a philanthropic initiative by Sansiri, Thailand’s most trusted real-estate developer — continues its commitment to youth empowerment through the power of football, entirely free of charge.
This year marks a major milestone as the program expands in partnership with various organizations to introduce the globally recognized FIFA For Schools curriculum to children and coaches across three districts in Phuket. The initiative not only nurtures essential skills and values through sport but also plays a vital role in growing Thailand’s “football population” a foundational step in the long-term advancement of the sport nationwide.
For the first time in Phuket, Sansiri Academy, in collaboration with the Football Association of Thailand, introduces the FIFA For Schools program to local children, volunteer coaches, and trainers. More than just a football training initiative, the program places fun at its heart — encouraging children to enjoy the game while learning key values such as respect, equality, and teamwork. The ultimate aim is to inspire continuous self-development and cultivate a lasting passion for football that extends far beyond the field.
As a special highlight, participating schools and volunteer coaches receive over 200 Adidas footballs during each session — empowering them to continue practicing and nurturing their passion beyond the training transforming everyday spaces into playgrounds for fun, learning, and growth.
The first training session was recently held at Thanyapura Sports & Health Resort in Thalang District — a venue of global standards, equipped with premium football fields and top-tier conference facilities, providing an ideal learning environment for both children and coaches. The second session followed in Kathu District, hosted at the Prince of Songkla University Phuket Campus football field.
Since launching Sansiri Academy Phuket in 2012, Sansiri has committed to creating long-term positive impact within the community. To date, more than 5,000 children have participated in the program—developing not only athletic skills, but also discipline, unity, and social values. Entirely free of charge, the philanthropic initiative reflects Sansiri’ s belief in the power of sport to strengthen bonds between children, families, and the broader community. At Sansiri, we believe: “Children are the foundation of families, and families are the foundation of society.”
