Football clubs

Clubs are named here the way the clubs and the game name them — the spelling on the shirt, in the table and on the team sheet. On the Thai pages, clubs in the major European leagues, the Thai League and the Champions League also appear under the Thai spelling the Thai sports press uses, and search accepts either the English or the Thai name.

The search box takes partial names, so there is no need to type a club in full. Typing "united" returns every club with that word in its name, which is quicker than working through the alphabet when you already know who you are looking for.

Shared club names are very common in football. There is an Arsenal in England and an Arsenal in Russia; there are Rangers in Scotland and in several other countries; names like Nacional, Universidad and Dynamo belong to dozens of clubs across South America and eastern Europe.

The quickest way to tell them apart is the crest and the country shown alongside each entry. When in doubt, come at the club through its competition rather than the alphabetical list: pick the league from the shelf above or from the competitions index, then open the club from that league's table. That route is tied to the competition itself, so it cannot land you on a namesake.

A club page gathers the four things people following a side want most often: its next fixtures with kick-off times in Thai time, its latest results with scores, its current position in the table of the league it plays in, and its squad wherever the data source publishes one.

A club competing in more than one competition — a domestic league and a European cup, say — has its fixtures and results merged into a single run in time order, while the table shown is the one for its primary league.

Tap the star on any match to save it, then open the favourites page to see everything you have saved in one place, with the current score and match minute pulled in for each one.

Favourites live in your own browser rather than on a server, so they work the moment you tap the star — no account, and no personal details handed over. The list therefore stays with the browser you starred them in.
