Reignwood Park Reinforces Success of Reignwood Icons of Football 2026, Showcasing World-Class Landmark Potential and Driving Thailand’s Sports Tourism toward the “Value Over Volume” Era
Reignwood Park has announced the successful staging of Reignwood Icons of Football 2026, a world-class sporting event that delivered a powerful “sportainment” experience by seamlessly blending sports, entertainment, and lifestyle. The event brought together legendary football icons from around the world to compete in an exciting golf showdown for ultimate glory. This year, Team England claimed victory for the second consecutive year at Robinswood Golf Club, amid a warm and celebratory atmosphere that captivated sports fans from both Thailand and overseas.
The strong interest and participation reflect Thailand’s growing potential as a global sports tourism destination, focused on creating meaningful experiences and lasting impressions for visitors. This aligns clearly with the “Value Over Volume” strategy of the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT). The event was honored by the presence of Ms. Nattira Paengkhun, Deputy Permanent Secretary of the Ministry of Tourism and Sports, and Ms. Thapanee Kiatphaibool, Governor of the Tourism Authority of Thailand, who joined the award presentation and closing ceremony. Also in attendance were executives from KIS International School Reignwood Park, led by Mr. Parit Raktapongpaisal and Ms. Pitchaya Raktapongpaisal, highlighting strong public–private collaboration in elevating Thailand onto the global sports tourism stage.
Ms. Warapanit Ruayrungruang, Chief Executive Officer of Reignwood Group, said that Reignwood Icons of Football 2026 served as a key platform for connecting people across countries and generations through the shared power of sport and premium lifestyle experiences.
“The gathering of global football legends, sports fans, families, and business partners not only created a vibrant atmosphere and generated significant economic activity for Thailand, but also fostered long-term relationship networks that can be further developed. As Thailand and Reignwood Park continue to position themselves as regional hubs for international exchange, the success of this event demonstrates Reignwood Park’s readiness in terms of venue, facilities, and world-class infrastructure that meet international standards.”
She added that Reignwood Group remains committed to the continuous development of sports infrastructure, particularly the Sport Complex scheduled to open later this year, which will support sports activities for all age groups. This initiative aligns with the vision of “The World-Class Community for Multi-Generation,” a space dedicated to innovation, creativity, and sustainable futures for families of all generations.
The atmosphere throughout Reignwood Icons of Football 2026 was filled with energy, driven by enthusiastic football and golf fans from around the world. The event is expected to generate positive economic impact and create continued revenue circulation for Thailand’s tourism industry. Adding to the excitement were a wide range of lifestyle activities and immersive experiences, including shopping zones featuring Robinswood and Icons brand merchandise with contemporary sportswear and accessories, as well as the Get Growing zone, which offered creative workshops for families and children in a friendly, engaging environment. Refreshment booths by VOSS, featuring specially crafted cocktails, also provided a refreshing experience for attendees throughout the event.
The Reignwood Icons of Football event is a key strategic initiative for Reignwood Park in supporting Thailand’s ambition to become a global golf industry hub by 2026, in line with TAT’s Value Over Volume policy that focuses on attracting high-value travelers. By leveraging sports tourism and the presence of global icons, the event strengthens Thailand’s image on the international stage. The success of this year’s event marks a significant starting point for Reignwood Park to continue developing and hosting international-level events, creating a sustainable ecosystem for living, leisure, and shared experiences for all generations, while enhancing Thailand’s global recognition.
