BANGKOK, Thailand – Unna Chantawongwiriya, a 17-year-old Thai footballer, has made history by signing with the West Ham United Foundation Player Pathway U18s Women’s Team. She is the first Thai female to sign a contract with an English top-tier club.
Unna will train and compete with the U18 women’s team, playing as a midfielder, with the potential to move up to the senior squad in the Women’s Super League (WSL) in the future.
