History
Rajpracha was formally founded in 1966 by Pol Maj-Gen Mom Rajawongse Jetjan Prawit in the name of the "Ratchaprachanukroh Fire Fighting Football Team". In the past, the Rajprachanukroh Foundation organized training Thai Scout, therefore it has added sports into the scout curriculum by bringing footballers in those days to train football for children in which the club began as a youth team for the Police United.
