Asian Representation
- BEC Tero Sasana would progress to the second round of the 2001–02 Asian Club Championship, but once again came up against, what now seemed to be an impossible mission of facing a team from Japan. Here, they would get beat once again by Kashima Antlers who now seemed to be a thorn in the side of Thai football clubs.
- Royal Thai Air Force reached the second round of the 2001–02 Asian Cup Winners Cup, where they were beaten by Home United of Singapore in a match played over two legs. They won the first leg at home, but then were thumped 5-0 in the return in Singapore.
