History

edit

Bangkok F.C. was founded by Nataphol Teepsuwan in 1999 as Bangkok Bravo A.F.C., playing in the Thai Division 1 League until 2007.[1]

In 2010, the newly renamed Bangkok F.C. under former national team coach Thongsuk Sampahungsith won the Division 2 League Bangkok region, qualifying for the national play-offs. The Bulls started poorly but regained their form to finish fourth, which earned them an opportunity to earn promotion to the first division through another play-off round. There, Bangkok easily cruised past a hapless side from Narathiwat 11–2 on aggregate.

2011, Bangkok's first season back in Division 1, ended in an 11th-place finish, followed by 10th place the following season. Disappointed with such performances, Thongsuk resigned and was succeeded by Kiatisuk Senamuang, who led Bangkok to fourth in 2013.[2] Kiatisuk would eventually go on to lead a golden generation of the Thai national team.

In 2022, Bangkok competed in the Thai League 3 Bangkok region, their 16th season in Thai professional football.[3][4] They became runners-up of their region, advancing to the national play-offs. In addition, they suffered two first-round eliminations in cup competitions: 4–5 on penalties by Wat Bot City in the 2022–23 Thai FA Cup[5] and 1–4 to the Lamphun Warriors in the 2022–23 Thai League Cup.[6]
