Khon Kaen University (KKU) athletes demonstrated strong potential during the selection round for the 51st Thailand University Games, known as the “Pholomtan Games,” held at Rajabhat Maha Sarakham University from 27 October to 3 November 2025. This regional qualifying tournament aimed to select representatives from universities in the Northeastern region to participate in the upcoming national games, the “51st Thailand University Games: Intanin Games,” to be hosted by Maejo University, Chiang Mai, from 9 to 19 January 2026.

The results of this qualifying round were highly commendable for the Khon Kaen University contingent. The Women’s Basketball team performed exceptionally well and advanced to the national games, as did the Men’s Volleyball team, which secured a victory to move forward. In Sepak Takraw, KKU qualified impressively in multiple categories: Men’s Team, Women’s Team, Men’s Doubles, Women’s Doubles, and the particularly outstanding Women’s Single Team event.

In Petanque, the KKU teams also achieved excellent results, qualifying for the national stage in the following events: Men’s Doubles (1st place), Women’s Doubles (1st place), Women’s Doubles (2nd place), Mixed Team, and Mixed Doubles. This success underscores the ability and dedication of Khon Kaen University’s athletes across all sporting disciplines.

While the Men’s Football, Men’s Basketball, Men’s and Women’s Futsal, and Women’s Volleyball teams did not advance to the national games this year, all teams displayed great teamwork, sportsmanship, and a determined commitment to developing their potential to the fullest.

Khon Kaen University extends its congratulations to all athletes who devoted their time and effort to training and competing with their full capacity. The university invites all members of the Mor Din Daeng community to offer their encouragement and support to the athletes who have qualified for the “Intanin Games.” These athletes will proudly represent KKU on the national stage at Maejo University, Chiang Mai, from 9 to 19 January 2026, bringing honour to the university.
