Baoji Donates Sports Footwear to Support Regional Thai Rugby
Footwear brand Baoji has donated 100 pairs of sports shoes, valued at 200,000 baht, to aid the development of rugby in Thailand's regional areas.
According to a report by Matichon Online on October 28, 2026, the sports footwear brand Baoji has contributed to the growth of local athletics by donating 100 pairs of sports shoes. The donation, which carries a total value of 200,000 baht, is specifically intended to support the development of rugby programs within Thailand's regional provinces.
For residents and expatriates interested in the local sports scene, this initiative highlights the ongoing efforts by private companies to foster grassroots sports development outside of major urban centers. While rugby remains a niche sport in Thailand compared to football or volleyball, such corporate sponsorships are essential for providing necessary equipment to young athletes who may otherwise lack access to professional-grade gear.
At this time, specific details regarding which provinces or rugby clubs will be the primary recipients of these shoes have not been disclosed. Furthermore, it remains to be confirmed whether this donation is part of a broader, long-term corporate social responsibility campaign by Baoji or a one-time contribution to the regional rugby association. Observers of the Thai sports industry will be watching to see if this partnership leads to increased visibility for regional rugby tournaments in the coming season.
