Teerasil Dangda (Thai: ธีรศิลป์ แดงดา, pronounced [tʰīː.rā.sǐn dɛ̄ːŋ.dāː]; born 6 June 1988 in Bangkok) is a Thai professional footballer who plays for Muangthong United in the Thai League 1 and the Thailand national team.
Teerasil started his football career playing youth football for Assumption College Thonburi in 2003, aged 15. Two years later he left the club, due to the lack of a professional team (it was only founded in 2011).
In 2004–2005 season Teerasil joined Air Technical Training School F.C. in Thai Division 1 League In the same season he made his senior debuts, and scored three goals in only six matches for the club.
In 2006 Teerasil moved to Raj Pracha, being an important offensive unit for the side, being the club's topscorer (nine goals in 18 games) and also assisting in further five goals during the campaign.
In 2007 Teerasil joined fellow second divisioner Muangthong United, and was a part of the squad who was crowned champions, contributing with seven goals and six assists.
On 25 July 2007, Teerasil was taken on a trial at Manchester City F.C. (alongside Suree Sukha and Kiatprawut Saiwaeo), after Thai businessman Thaksin Shinawatra bought City earlier in the month. After a long time waiting for their work permits, the trio signed with City on 16 November.
