Early life

Nopphon was born in Non Suwan. As a child, he began playing football with his father, as goalkeeper. He attended primary school at Kamonluk School in Nang Rong and Soponwarawatwittaya in Mueang Buriram.

Club career

Buriram United

At the age of twelve, he entered trials and was selected for the youth academy of Buriram United. He attended secondary school at Phattharaborphit School (near the Buriram United Academy), and played for the school and the youth club.[2] The team won the U-19 Thailand Championship ("Coke Cup") in 2017, where Nopphon was named Best Goalkeeper.[3]

Nopphon had an appearance with Buriram's senior team as early as age fifteen, when he was brought on at the 86th minute in a friendly match against the Laos National Team.[4] That year, he was included in Buriram United's roster for the second leg of the Thai League, making him the youngest player in the country's top league.[5] Nopphon regularly appeared for the Buriram United B Team in 2017, when the Thai League began allowing clubs to field secondary teams in the Thai League 4.

2019: Loan to Lampang

In 2019, Nopphon played on loan for Lampang in the Thai League 2.

2020: Loan to Nakhon Pathom United

In 2020, Nopphon played on loan for Nakhon Pathom United in the Thai League 2.

International career

In May 2018, he was called up to the U19 National Team for the 2018 AFF U-19 Youth Championship.[6] However, he was heavily criticized for his performance in October's 2018 AFC U-19 Championship, where Thailand conceded an equalizing goal at the 87th minute and ultimately lost 3–7 to Qatar in the quarterfinals, missing their chance at the U-20 World Cup.[7]

In March 2019, He was called up to the U23 National Team for the 2020 AFC U-23 Championship qualification and 2019 Merlion Cup,[8][9] but was dropped for the 2019 SEA Games.[10]
