Police Tero Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลโปลิศ เทโร), formerly known as BEC-Tero Sasana, is a Thai professional football club based in Lak Si, Bangkok. The club finished runners-up in the inaugural AFC Champions League competition in 2003. BEC-Tero Sasana Football Club merged with Police United Football Club in the 2017 season and changed its official name to Police Tero Football Club in the 2018 season.
The club has won 2 Thai League 1 titles, 1 Kor Royal Cup and 1 Thai League Cup. They were also the finalist in the 2002–03 AFC Champions League campaign.
The team was established in 1992. It was previously known as Sasana Witthaya School team and was founded by Worawi Makudi. The first football match the team entered was in Division 3 of the football royal cup in 1993. In 1994, the team played in Division 2 of the football royal cup. In 1995, the team played in Division 1 of the football royal cup and in 1996, the team entered the Thai League for the first time. It was during this year, that Mr. Worawi Makudi and Mr. Brian L. Marcar, managing director of BEC-TERO Entertainment Public Co. Ltd., joined hands and renamed the team as Tero Sasana Football Club. The team was placed in 12th position among 18 teams in the Thai League.
In 1997, Tero Sasana Football Club also played in the Thai League and this time was placed in fifth place. Later in 1998, BEC World Public Company Limited supported the Tero Sasana Football Club and changed the team's name to BEC-Tero Sasana. The team won the third place when they played the Thai League. They were also one of the eight final teams to enter the final round of the Thai FA Cup.
In 1999, the team entered the Thai League and again won third place. In the same year, they were among the final teams in the Thai FA Cup.[]
2000 was a very eventful year for BEC-Tero Sasana. The team won its first championship award by winning the Thai League. It also received the championship award for the King's Cup.[]
In 2001, BEC-Tero Sasana was able to keep its championship and won the Thai Premier League for the second consecutive year. This greatly increased the fan base.[] In that year, the club participated in POMIS Cup in Maldives.
The club's success continued for a few years and culminated with finishing runner-up in the 2002–03 AFC Champions League. The team were put alongside Asian heavyweights Kashima Antlers, Daejeon Citizen, and Shanghai Shenhua in Group A of the 2002–03 AFC Champions League; a group which they would top with 7 points. BEC-Tero Sansana then faced Uzbekistan's Pakhtakor in the semi-final and defeated them 3–2 on aggregate, before losing to Al Ain in the two-legged final, 2–1.
In 2012, the club appointed Robert Procureur, former general manager of Muangthong United, to be the new Director of Football and appointed Andrew Ord as the club manager. Them built up a great team by pushing up many young players such as Adisorn Promrak, Peerapat Notchaiya, Tanaboon Kesarat, Chanathip Songkrasin, Narubadin Weerawatnodom, Tristan Do, Chenrop Samphaodi, Jaturong Pimkoon and the fan called "Golden Generation" and the club signed former Japan national team player Daiki Iwamasa that was the important to help the team win the Thai League Cup Trophy in 2014 from Daiki Iwamasa and Georgie Welcome's goals, its first trophy in 12 years.
After the club was relegated in 2016 (Saraburi was out of the Thai league due to money problems so the club was placed in the place of Saraburi), club president Brian L. Marcar sold the team to Inspire Entertainment, the owner of Muangthong United. Robert Procureur quit and star players such as Peerapat Notchaiya, Tanaboon Kesarat, Chanathip Songkrasin and Tristan Do joined various clubs, such as Muangthong United.
In 2017, the club were taken over by the Royal Thai Police, who merged them with their own club, Police United. The club name change was not recognized in 2017, so in 2018, the club changed their name to Police Tero Football Club.
In October 2019, under head coach Rangsan Viwatchaichok, Police Tero were runners-up in the 2019 Thai League 2 and were promoted to the 2020 Thai League 1.
On 6 November 2023, Police Tero held a press conference to launch a new investment group, a group of three Cambodian royal princess, with an investment of ฿200 million and a 49% stake in the club. But in the end the takeover of the club was unsuccessful because the new owners were unable to declare the origin of the money and were unable to bring the money into the country.
