The 2025 Thai League 3 Cup final was the culmination of the 2024–25 Thai League 3 Cup, the second edition of Thailand's knockout football competition organized by the Football Association of Thailand (FA Thailand).[1] The final occurred at BG Stadium in Pathum Thani, Thailand, on 19 April 2025,[2] featuring Thonburi United and Songkhla.[3][4] This final also marked the first time that the Video assistant referee (VAR) system was implemented in the competition, adding an extra layer of officiating precision to the decisive match.[5]

Thonburi United, despite being based in Bangkok, Thailand's capital, competed in the Western region of the 2024–25 Thai League 3 due to the league's regional balancing system. Their journey to the final was a testament to their resilience and tactical discipline. Songkhla, representing the Southern region, carried the pride of its namesake province into the decisive match, seeking to claim national recognition. This final brought together two teams from distinct regional backgrounds, each vying for the prestigious title and a place in the tournament's history.

Entering the knockout stage, Songkhla hosted Kasem Bundit University from the Central region in the round of 16, securing a narrow 1–0 victory through a goal from A-leemama.[18] In the quarter-finals, Songkhla faced Khon Kaen from the Northeastern region.
