History

The club was established with the aim of developing football in the northern region of Thailand and providing a pathway for local players to compete at the national level. Lamphun is one of the oldest cities in Thailand with deep Lanna cultural roots, and the club adopted the nickname “White Cattles” to symbolise the historical bravery and resilience associated with the region.The club initially played their matches mostly at the Mae Guang Stadium as their home ground.
The team initially competed in the Regional League Division 2 (the third tier of Thai football at the time), specifically in the Northern Region. During their early seasons, Lamphun Warriors focused on building a stable organisational structure, recruiting local talents, and establishing a loyal fanbase in the province.
