The takeover of Leicester City Football Club in England by Vichai Raksriaksorn, chairman and CEO of King Power Group, will benefit his duty-free business. Uncovering of King Power in International market will increase its corporation name. It will appear for three years. Staring with the English Championship season which opened last week. Mr. Vichai said that the purchase is a good investment. He declined to disclose the value but said he would reduce his 100% share in the club to 51% in the future by allowing co-investors. Sources estimate the purchase was for around 2 billion baht. Many investors have already approached me to be share in my consortium. We have a similar goal. To make Thailand is a football academy of Asia in future. He plans to establish academy football in Thailand and hopes that Thailand will have a chance to play in International games at Leicester City. He is preparing to open the first Leicester City outlet at King Power duty-free. Soccer is one of his favorite sports. He will buy new players to make his team good. He expects to choose land in Samut Prakan district. His son get authority to control Leicester City.
I think it is a good story. It has many things that is our benefit. Thailand should be improved about football. Football players of Thailand should get chance to have competitions in International games as same as other countries. Thailand has quality to play football. If we have academy football, we may see football of Thailand play in International games.
