A new story is being written in the heart of Thailand, a paradise island known for its stunning beaches and vibrant culture. It’s the story of Koh Samui becoming the epicenter of sports and youth football in Thailand, and what is making this even more remarkable is the arrival of Paris Saint-Germain Academy.
For a long time, Koh Samui has been synonymous with natural beauty and luxury resorts. But now, this island is gaining attention for something beyond its white sandy beaches and crystal-clear waters. It’s gaining notoriety for its commitment to become a world-class sports destination, primarily focusing on football development.
Expanding Beyond Training Camps
The Paris Saint-Germain Academy was already well-known for its week-long training camps, attracting young football enthusiasts worldwide for enriching learning and fun experiences. The academy is taking its commitment to youth football a step further. This exciting journey is made possible through the partnership between the Paris Saint-Germain Academy and the esteemed Maraleina Sports Resort.
Chaweng: The New Home of Football
The Paris Saint-Germain Academy has set up its new home in Chaweng, one of Koh Samui’s liveliest areas. This isn’t just a football school; it’s a cradle of talent.
Weekly classes with fixed students are at the heart of this endeavor. In addition, young athletes will have special training sessions at the same facilities as the PSG Camp in Koh Samui, with access to the entire resort infrastructure, such as a high-performance center, ice recovery bath, 7-a-side football pitches, and 11-a-side football pitches with natural and artificial grass, all of this by the beach.
Nurturing Stars
At the Paris Saint-Germain Academy Samui, we’re not just shaping skilled football players. We’re nurturing dreams and shaping the future of football.

Building a Future for Football
“The goal is clear: to make Koh Samui a renowned football destination. We want to create more competitive teams and contribute to the global sports scene.” said Marcelo Fonseca – Director of Marketing and Business Development of Maraleina Sports Resort.
Koh Samui is becoming more than a tropical paradise; it’s becoming a haven for football enthusiasts. The Paris Saint-Germain Academy Samui is leading the way, empowering young talents and building a bright future for youth football in Thailand. This is a story of determination, passion, and dreams realized.
