OUR STORY

From Bangkok to North London
01

01 — Who We Are

More Than 90 Minutes

Founded by lifelong Arsenal fan Puma Shelby in 2020, Arsenal Bangkok was created to give Arsenal supporters in Thailand a place to come together and experience matchdays as a community.

Supporting Arsenal from Bangkok is about far more than 90 minutes of football. It means late nights, early mornings, unforgettable wins, difficult defeats and sharing every moment with people who understand exactly what supporting this club means.

Our goal has always been simple: to create a welcoming home for every Gooner in Bangkok — whether you’re a local Thai fan, an expat living in the city or a visitor who may only be here for one game.

Everyone is welcome.

22 Years of Belief

02 — The Journey

Why Football Means So Much

Football supporters often measure their lives in seasons. The matches we remember become connected to where we were, who we were with and what was happening in our lives at the time.

For Arsenal supporters thousands of miles away from North London, that connection can feel even stronger. Bangkok and the Emirates Stadium may be separated by thousands of miles, but the emotion of supporting Arsenal is exactly the same.

Years pass. Players change. Managers change. Competitions come and go. But the belief remains.

03 — Our Community

ONE CLUB.
ONE FAMILY.

Our community brings together people from different countries, different backgrounds and different generations. But everyone who walks through the door has one thing in common: Arsenal.

Since 2020, Arsenal Bangkok has proudly welcomed Arsenal supporters from around the world to our events, including members of international supporters’ clubs, Gay Gooners and the Ashburton Army.

Our matchdays bring together Thai fans, expats, travelling supporters, lifelong Gooners and people experiencing their first Arsenal match with a crowd.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from, how long you’ve supported Arsenal or how long you’re staying in Bangkok.

When Arsenal play, everyone has a home here.

GLOBAL GOONERS

Arsenal and Emirates’ Global Gooners campaign followed supporter Pipe from Thailand on his journey from Bangkok to North London and the Emirates Stadium. It is a story that represents something every overseas supporter understands — the distance may be huge, but the connection to the club never feels far away.
