The 2021 Thai Futsal League will kick off on 8 August this year to make it more consistent with the changes that were made by the FA of Thailand (FAT) to the start of the 2021/22 Toyota Thai League 1 and 2.

The FAT announced this week that the 2021/22 Toyota Thai League 1 will begin on 13 August from the initial date of 31 July 2021.

The 2021 Futsal Thai League was also supposed to start on 31 July 2021.

ā€œFAT had announced the postponement of the Thai League 1 due to the rising cases of COVID-19 in the country and as part of safety measures, we have also decided to push the start of our Futsal League to a week later,ā€ said Anusorn Pimnga, President of the Thai Futsal League 2021.

ā€œThe plan is to have the Thai Futsal League start on 8 August 2021 with just three matches. Then there will be a break because we have to give time for the national team to compete in the FIFA Futsal World Cup in September.ā€

The three matches that will be played on the opening day of the Futsal Thai League will be held in a centralised location for convenience and safety.

There are three venues being prepared and they are the Warehouse Stadium, Thammasat University Stadium and also the Bangkok Glass Stadium.
