Nara Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอล นรา), is a Thai professional football club based in Narathiwat, Thailand. The club currently competes in the Thai League 3, the third tier of the Thai football league system, and plays in the Southern region.

History

Nara Football Club was established in 2026. Its operating entity, Samosonfootball Nara FC 2026 Company Limited, was registered on 16 February 2026, with the stated purpose of establishing and managing a football club for domestic and international competitions. The club entered the Thailand Semi-pro League in 2026 and competed in the Southern region. Nara won the regional championship after finishing the six-match campaign with four wins, one draw and one defeat, scoring 11 goals and conceding five. The title earned the club a place in the Thai League 3 for the 2026–27 season, subject to club licensing. On 11 July 2026, Nara obtained a club licence from the Football Association of Thailand to compete in the 2026–27 Thai League 3 season. The club thus began its first season in the professional league system as a newly promoted Southern region side. On 13 July 2026, Nara FC appointed Adilan Ayuya as its executive chairman. Ahead of its debut season in Thai League 3, Nara appointed Wasan Sangphan, known as "Coach Liap", as head coach on 24 July 2026. Sangphan had previously guided Nara United F.C. to the Thai League 3 national championship in the 2025–26 season. Ahead of their inaugural season in Thai League 3, Nara FC announced 2S Sports as the club's official kit supplier.
