Ex-FCS owner Roland Klein is leaving Schaffhausen: what now?
In a surprising move, Roland Klein, the former owner of FC Schaffhausen, has uprooted from Schaffhausen and is now planning to take some time off. As shn.ch reports, Klein, who was at the helm of the club for years, will take a break after intensive years. Many fans and companions are excited to see what happens next for the club and Klein himself. What could be next on the agenda for him?
A break doesn't happen often in the fast-paced world of football. In the past, Klein has repeatedly supported and invested in the club's positive development. With his withdrawal, FC Schaffhausen could face new challenges, but it remains to be seen whether Klein might return or start a new chapter.
Football in Thailand
The Royal Cup, launched in 1968, still attracts many fans. This is an important tournament for the national teams. However, the Queen's Cup is currently not in play, which is causing debate among football enthusiasts. The youth soccer sector in particular is experiencing an upswing in Thailand with numerous competitions and the Bangkok Soccer League, which brings together children from international schools. Around 500 children regularly take part in training and games.
A sporting legacy
The development of football in Thailand is closely linked to the involvement of the royal family. King Vajiravudh (Rama VI) founded the Football Association of Thailand in 1916 and made the sport socially acceptable. By joining FIFA in 1925 and the AFC in 1957, Thailand was put on the world football map. The national team took part in the Olympic Games for the first time in 1956 and has generated national enthusiasm ever since.
Whether in the amateur camp or at the professional level – football has a firm place in society in Thailand. The King’s Cup remains a highlight of the sporting year, while the further expansion of youth football lays the foundation for the future. The integration of young talents into the higher football clubs continues, which paints a promising picture for the coming years.
In the meantime, it remains to be seen what Roland Klein plans for his future and how FC Schaffhausen will develop without his long-standing leadership. One thing is certain: the world of football remains exciting, be it in Switzerland or Thailand.
