The 47th edition of the King's Cup is set to commence on Wednesday in Thailand.
Established in 1968, the annual tournament - with the exception of a few years in between (1983, 1985, 2008, 2011 and 2014) - has had clubs or international sides participate on an invitational basis.
Previously having been hosted at five different venues, the this year's edition of the King's Cup will be held at the Chang Arena in Buriram for the first time. The stadium, also known as the Thunder Castle Stadium, is of FIFA and AFC standards and has hosted matches from the Thai Premier League and the Thai League T1 as it is the home ground of Buriram United.
