In line with UNIQLO's LifeWear Philosophy that is designed to make everyone's life better through its high quality clothing, those who participate in this event will gain first-hand experiences of wearing UNIQLO's clothing -- packed with innovative functions like DRY-EX for quick-drying, perfectly responding to all movements during this event.
Introducing Tong - Kawin Thamsatchanan
Thai Professional Footballer (Goalkeeper)
Tong - Kawin Thammasatchanan is a famous Thai professional football player who currently plays as goalkeeper for Muangthong United in Thai League and Thailand national team.
His long-term goal is to be a part in developing and driving the Thai football industry to reach international standards.
One of his contributions to Thai football industry is the founding of "Kawin Academy," which is dedicated for the improvement of skills and techniques of young football players in Thailand,
as well as his charity project that provides football training for children in poor communities.
Under this "UNIQLO Next Generation Development Program," UNIQLO Thailand has partnered with Tong to organize the activities aimed to strengthen football skills and techniques for Thai youth aged 8-10 years. This apparently underscores our shared mission to draw inspiration for the young generation to work toward the goal of becoming professional athletes.
