The Thai FA Cup (Thai: ไทยเอฟเอคัพ), known officially as The Football Association of Thailand Cup, is a football cup competition in Thailand.Thai FA Cup is an annual knockout association football competition in men's domestic football. It was held between 1980 and 2001 until relaunched again in 2009.Bangkok Bank won the first two editions.
In 2009 it was announced that the Thai FA Cup would return to the Thai football calendar. All the teams from the Thai League 1 and Division 1 League were automatically entered and teams from the Division 2 League as well as university and schools teams could apply to enter. The qualifying round took place from 27–30 June. The first round proper will see sixteen qualifiers progress to the second round where they will each meet a Division 1 side. The sixteen TPL teams enter at the third round stage. The final will be played at Suphachalasai Stadium with the winning team receiving 1,000,000 Thai baht. The runners-up will receive 500,000 Thai baht.
Following the death of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, the Football Association of Thailand cancelled the remaining league and cup season for 2016 stating that the FA Cup winners would be determined by a lottery draw. This was at the semi-final stage of the competition and would determine who would represent Thailand in Asian competition.
The following day however (15 October), FAT appeared to do a U-turn and announced that further discussions with key stake holders would determine whether the league campaign would continue. These discussions were required as teams that were in the relegation places at the time of the original announcement were voicing their concerns.
