Thai Footballer Nicholas Mickelson Set for Historic Bundesliga Clash
Thai national team defender Nicholas Mickelson is expected to feature for Elversberg as they host Bayern Munich in a historic Bundesliga match.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the 2026/27 German Bundesliga season enters its third week with a highly anticipated match between SV Elversberg and Bayern Munich. This encounter, scheduled for Sunday, September 13, 2026, at 10:30 PM local time at the Ursapharm-Arena, marks the first time these two clubs have met in history.
For residents and football fans in Thailand, the match holds particular interest as Thai national team right-back Nicholas Mickelson plays for Elversberg. The newly promoted side has emerged as a surprise contender early in the season, securing six points from their opening two matches with victories over Bayer Leverkusen and Borussia Mönchengladbach. In contrast, Bayern Munich enters the fixture looking to recover from a goalless draw against Schalke 04 and may face fatigue following a midweek UEFA Champions League appearance.
For those following the action, the match will be broadcast exclusively in Thailand via AIS PLAY on channel PLAY SPORTS 91 (591). While the excitement surrounding Mickelson’s performance is high, it remains to be confirmed whether he will be in the starting lineup or if he will play the full duration of the match. Fans are encouraged to check official team sheets closer to kickoff for final confirmation of his participation.
