2024–25 Thai League 3 Eastern Region
Football league season
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The 2024–25 Thai League 3 Eastern Region is part of the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Regional Stage, consisting of 12 clubs located in the eastern region of Thailand, as well as some from the eastern part of the central region. Following regional adjustments, one club was reallocated from the former Bangkok Metropolitan Region (now the Central Region) to the Eastern Region to better align with geographical considerations. The season will commence on 14 September 2024,[1] with clubs competing in a round-robin format featuring home-and-away matches. The Regional Stage will conclude on 29 March 2025, at which point the top two clubs will advance to the National Championship Stage, while the bottom-placed club will face relegation to the Thailand Semi-pro League for the following season. This stage exemplifies the competitive edge of clubs from the industrial and coastal areas, where football thrives amidst rapid development and strong community support.
