SINGAPORE, June 18: Few figures have left a greater mark on the ASEAN Championship, now known as the ASEAN Hyundai Cup™ 2026, than Thailand legend Kiatisuk Senamuang.Known affectionately as “Zico”, the former striker has played a central role in five of Thailand’s record seven regional titles, first as a player and later as a coach, cementing his place among Southeast Asian football’s all-time greats.Kiatisuk announced himself on the regional stage in the inaugural tournament in 1996 when, at just 23, he scored the decisive goal against Malaysia in the final before celebrating with his trademark backflip.His thunderous strike past Malaysian goalkeeper Khairul Azman Mohamed remains one of the most iconic moments in the competition’s history.Former Thailand team manager Thawatchai Sajakul, who oversaw the side during that maiden triumph, described Kiatisuk as the country’s greatest modern-era footballer.“He is the best player Thailand has produced in the modern era,” said Thawatchai.
