The Football pitch built from old scraps of wood and fishing rafts

A group of Thai kids wanted to play soccer, but didn’t have any space in their coastal village. So they built a pitch from old scraps of wood and fishing rafts. After making it to the Semi-Final on an inland tournament, all the villagers were inspired to take up the sport. They built a brand new pitch, although the wooden one still remains and is popular among tourists. As of today, Panyee FC is one of the most successful youth soccer clubs in Southern Thailand, and the boys who built the pitch back in 1986 are now grown men.

This story is a parable about an increasingly rare quality in our world- “ownership”. These kids succeeded not because they were provided with facilities, but because they seized the opportunity to build one. In doing so, they created their own micro-culture, their own rules and their own space.
