Seasonal Changes

Formation of the Central Region

[edit]

The former Bangkok Metropolitan Region was reorganized into the Central Region to better align with the geographical distribution of clubs. This change simplifies the regional structure and enhances clarity.[2]

To accommodate the new regional structure, several clubs were reassigned:

Promotion from Thailand Semi-pro League

Dome was promoted from the Thailand Semi-pro League and will compete in the Central Region for the 2024–25 season.[5]

Promotion to Thai League 2

Bangkok, the 2023–24 national champion, earned promotion to Thai League 2, representing a significant loss of a strong competitor for the region.[6]

Relegation based on performance
