Proper nutrition plays a vital role in athletic performance and long-term success. Building on the achievements of the Thailand Victory Project, Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd. has officially launched the second year of the Ajinomoto Victory Canteen, the central sports nutrition hub for Thailand’s national athletes. Following its successful support during the 2025 SEA Games and ASEAN Para Games, the canteen will continue preparing Team Thailand for the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games in Japan, reaffirming Ajinomoto’s commitment to enhancing athlete performance through science-based nutrition.
Since its launch, the Ajinomoto Victory Canteen has served as more than a dining facility. It has become a comprehensive sports nutrition center where athletes receive meals tailored to the nutritional needs of different training and competition phases, while also gaining access to nutrition education and sports science knowledge that support long-term performance and recovery. Now entering its second year, the initiative continues to strengthen Team Thailand’s preparation for the upcoming Asian Games while reinforcing Ajinomoto’s long-term partnership with Thai sports.
Recently, Dr. Gongsak Yodmani, Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) visited the Ajinomoto Victory Canteen to observe its operations. He was welcomed by Mr. Hiroyuki Teramoto, President of Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd., Mr. Thongdee Paso, Managing Director of Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd., and Ms. Piroonrat Wangprakobsook, Corporate Communications Division Manager.
“The Sports Authority of Thailand places great importance on sports science, particularly nutrition, as a key factor in developing athletes’ potential,” said Dr. Gongsak Yodmani, Governor of the Sports Authority of Thailand. “Our collaboration with Ajinomoto reflects a shared vision of advancing sports nutrition and athlete well-being. Together, we aim to ensure that Thai athletes are physically prepared and able to perform at their highest level on the international stage.”
Mr. Hiroyuki Teramoto, President of Ajinomoto Co., (Thailand) Ltd., added, “At the Ajinomoto Group, we are committed to improving the well-being of people through our corporate purpose of “Eat Well, Live Well.” We believe that proper nutrition is one of the most important factors in helping athletes to unlock their full potential. Leveraging more than 20 years of experience with the Victory Project in Japan and eight years in Thailand, together with our unique “AminoScience” expertise, we provide comprehensive nutritional support—from developing performance-focused meal programs and offering professional nutrition guidance to supplying amino acid-based products such as aminoVITAL®.”
“The continuation of the Ajinomoto Victory Canteen into its second year reflects our long-term commitment to standing alongside Thai athletes. We are proud to support Team Thailand on their journey to the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games and future international competitions.”
Empowering Team Thailand through Winning Meals and “AminoScience”
During its second year of operation, the Ajinomoto Victory Canteen continues to offer its signature Winning Meals under the “Eat with Purpose” concept. Developed jointly by Ajinomoto’s professional nutritionists and experienced chefs, the menu is designed to deliver both great taste and balanced nutrition while meeting athletes’ needs throughout training, recovery, and competition.
Beyond serving nutritious meals, Ajinomoto continues to support athletes through aminoVITAL® amino acid products and nutrition education activities as part of Ajinomoto’s holistic sports nutrition approach. By integrating culinary expertise, nutritional science, and “AminoScience”, the program supports athletes in optimizing their physical condition and competition readiness.
The Ajinomoto Victory Canteen is running from July 2026, providing comprehensive nutrition support for Team Thailand in the lead-up to the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 Asian Games.
