History
Based on the website Thai-Fussball.com, Chiangmai Football Club was founded in 1999 and played in Thailand Provincial League until 2007.
In 2009 the club was restructured. They were given a new badge, new management, new nickname "Lanna Tigers" the club finished 9th in the Regional League Northern Region just to win it a year later. It qualified Chiang Mai Football Club to participate in the play-offs which they mastered successfully.
But the first-ever adventure in the Thai Division 1 League in 2011 lasted only one season. It took the side two years to bounce back. However, a second period was in limbo when club president Udonpan Jantaraviroj announced to withdraw the club and his support in the second tier. After lengthy discussions and fan protests he agreed to move on but at the end of 2016, he decides to quit the club after he managed Chiangmai Football Club for a long time.[1][2]
