Bangkok, 22 June 2026 \u2013 Following the Football Association of Thailand\u2019s announcement of a proposed resolution to financial obligations arising from a past dispute, and the agreement reached among all relevant parties, Cineplex, a True Corporation affiliate, as one of the related contractual parties, is pleased to support the agreed approach for the benefit of all parties and to enable the continued development of Thai football with stability.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Under the agreed framework, the Association will assume responsibility for settling the debt on behalf of Siam Sport PCL to Cineplex, with an aggregate value of THB 240 million. The settlement will be structured in two parts: the granting of benefits related to the exclusive broadcasting of Thai national football team matches through OTT, IPTV and Pay TV across all platforms operated by companies within True Group, together with related marketing benefits, for a four-year period from 2026 to 2029 to Cineplex; and cash installment payments.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Mr. Ongard Prapakamol, Head of True Visions and Media, True Corporation Plc., said, \u201cTrue is pleased that all parties have been able to reach a mutual agreement today. For True, the key priority is to look ahead and support a constructive solution that allows the Football Association of Thailand to move forward with stability, for the long-term benefit of Thai football.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We believe that the sustainable development of Thai football requires collaboration from all sectors, including the Association, clubs, athletes, fans, and the private sector. The broadcasting rights received under this agreement are therefore not merely commercial rights, but an opportunity to connect Thai football fans with the national team through True\u2019s digital platforms, while inspiring Thai people through the power of sport.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

For True, Thai football is not only a sport competition; it is a force that brings people across the country together. True has always believed in growing together with Thailand and contributing to the country. We are ready to play our part in supporting the future of Thai football and helping it move forward with stability and sustainability.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n
