[edit] Asian Representation
- In an revamped Asian Champions League, BEC Tero Sasana would surprise the whole of Asia and bring back past glories not seen since Thai Farmers Bank FC in the mid 90's and would reach the final of the Champions League where they would come runners up to UAE side Al Ain. On their way to the final BEC would claim victories over old Japanese rivals Kashima Antlers, Shanghai Shenhua of China, Taejon Citizen FC of South Korea and Uzbek side Pakhtakor Tashkent.
- This was also the first time that two Thai clubs would enter the Champions League. Osotsapa FC would also take part but would find the going tough and would crash out in embarressing circumstances in the group stage.
- BEC Tero Sasana would also take part in the newly formed ASEAN Club Championship to be held in Indonesia against the best of the rest of the ASEAN and SAFF region. Here they made the final but got beat by Indian side Kingfisher East Bengal FC
