Khor Royal Cup

Khor Royal Cup (Thai: ถ้วยพระราชทาน ค.; ถ้วย ค.) is the fifth-highest level of club football competition which competed in the tournament in Thailand since 1963. It was founded by Football Association of Thailand along with Ngor Royal Cup in 1963. Department of Physical Education was the first team to win this competition.

In 1996, Khor Royal Cup was downgraded to be the fourth-tier football tournament of Thai club football competition when Football Association of Thailand founded Thai Division 1 League as the second-tier in its place. Finally, in 2006, the tournament was downgraded to be the fifth-tier tournament due to the proposed merger of the Provincial League and Thai Premier League into one entity.

In 2016, Khor Royal Cup was combined to Regional League Division 3 completely along with Khǒr Royal Cup and Ngor Royal Cup by Football Association of Thailand and then Khor Royal Cup become a trophy for Regional League Division 2.
