Super Power Samut Prakan (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลซูเปอร์พาวเวอร์ สมุทรปราการ) is a Thai football club based in Samut Prakan Province. This club plays in the Thai League 1. The club appeared in the AFC Cup 2007, the Asian equivalent of the UEFA Cup, and played its final group match against Singapore's Tampines Rovers on 22 May 2007 at the Thai Army Sports Stadium. In 2007, the team has adopted the yellow and red colours of its main sponsor, M-150 (energy drink), and now wears yellow shirts with red trim and red shorts and socks.
The club was founded in 1977 under the name Osotspa F.C. in association with the company Osotspa, known for its energy drink M-150. Since 2006, the club used the nickname M-150th, and is sponsored by the company. Both the club and the company share the same logo.
The history and achievements of Osotspa go hand in hand with the coach Chatchai Paholpat, who held the position of manager at the club between 1996 and 2007. All achievements of the association were achieved under his leadership. The club participated in the 1996–97 season in the first edition of the Thai League T1. However, they could not hold off relegation, and fell to the newly founded Thai Division 1 League. They finished second in this league and fought in the play-offs for promotion to the Royal Police United from the first division. After the round of matches, Osotspa defeated Police and the club returned to the top league. Since their re-emergence in 1997, the club has become an integral part of the Premier League. In 1999 they reached the final of the Thai FA Cup collect, but were beaten 2–1 by Bangkok Bank at Supachalasai Stadium.
