HUA HIN CITY F.C HAS NEW AMBITIOUS OWNERS
•A •new broom has swept into the ownership and management of our local professional football team, HUA HIN
and they have already started making an impact, with a particular focus on the fans and the engagement of the local community. However that is only the start - in a press release, the new President said, “Today, the club is in Thai League 4, but has the ambition and drive to take it all the way to the Thai Premier League in 4 - 5 years. For this, my team and Hua Hin Municipality, implemented a new financial and commercial strategy specific to football.” The strategy has three prongs - sports, financial and business/marketing - which encompass using the professional experiences of the management team at the highest level of European football, strong investment by the shareholders in combination with the club’s sponsors, and a strong brand identity, with an emphasis on diversity and real social commitment. The club’s future plans include renovating the stadium and recruiting European players, but already they have committed to providing free transport to away games for the rest of this season (limited to fifty supporters on a first come, first served basis; call Khun Kaew on 0957 513 243 to register, and reserve your place). They are also opening a club shop in downtown Hua Hin (Naresdamri Road) soon. The club are now keen to have your support, both at matches, and in sponsorship deals on shirts and around the pitch at the ground in Khao Takiab. There are a number of great opportunities to get in on the ground floor of this new era for Hua Hin F.C, and you can find details of some of these on pages 12 and 13 of this issue. Contact the new owners via Facebook (HuaHinCityFC) or email info@huahin-fc.com
