About TSCA

Thailand Sport Climbing Association

How We Started

The Thailand Sport Climbing Association (TSCA) was officially established on 24 August 2004, under the approval of the Office of the National Culture Commission.

The Association was formed in preparation for Thailand’s role as the host nation of the 1st Asian Indoor Games, held in Bangkok from 12–19 November 2005. This event was the first multi-sport games initiated by the Olympic Council of Asia (OCA) to include new and emerging sports, among which sport climbing was officially introduced as a competition event for the first time in Asia.

Since its establishment, TSCA has been committed to promoting and developing the sport of climbing in Thailand, fostering athlete development, and representing the country in international competitions.
