Dear everyone, the Seniors World Cup football tournament is mainly organized to promote the senior football lovers to keep playing football and to strengthen bonds and relationships amongst all concerned.
It also gives an opportunity to give the footballers and their families a chance to get to know and enjoy the famous Thai hospitality along with Thailand itself. I hope you all enjoy your time in our beautiful country and will come back to see us again soon.
- Mr. Mr.Thepitak Chansuthep, Chairman of the Seniors World Cup organizing committee.
The World Cup began over 70 years ago in Uruguay when teams from various nations in South America, North America and Europe competed for the new prize. The huge success of the tournament sparked international interest. The World Cup was scheduled as an event to be played every 4 years and soon became the highest profiled competition in the world.
Theppitak: The Seniors World Cup is a tournament for senior footballers who are 38 years old and above from around the world.
FISA: What inspired you to start the Seniors World Cup?
Theppitak: The tournament started because of the problems associated with the Tsunami disaster in the south of Thailand. I dreamed about doing something to help the tsunami victims and came up with the idea of making a football tournament. I wanted to make a tournament which is different to the others so I think about the Seniors World Cup. We already have the junior tournaments and the regular tournament, but there are no big seniors tournaments so I made the Seniors World Cup .........
Once a fishing town, Pattaya first boomed as an R&R destination during the Vietnam War and developed into a family-orientated seaside destination. Foreign tourism to Thailand as a whole in 2007 amounted to 14.5 million visitors.
Activities include playing golf (21 golf courses within 1 hour of Pattaya,) go-kart racing, and visiting different theme parks and zoos such as the Elephant Village, where demonstrations of training methods and ancient ceremonial re-enactments are performed daily. The private Sri Racha Tiger Zoo features tigers, alligators, and other animals in daily shows. The Vimantaitalay tourist submarine offers 30 minute trips underwater to see corals and marine life just a few kilometers offshore. Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden about 15 kilometers south of Pattaya is a 500-acre (2.0 km2) site of botanical gardens and an orchid nursery where cultural shows with trained chimpanzees and elephants are presented
