Club career

Tristan Do trained as a youth player at the INF Clairefontaine for three years, before signing with RC Strasbourg.[1] He played for the reserve team that won the Championnat de France Amateur 2.[2] In June 2011, the then 18-year-old Do signed a three-year contract with FC Lorient.[3] Following a loan spell at SAS Épinal, his contract with Lorient was terminated by mutual agreement.[2] He joined the Corsica-based club Gazélec Ajaccio for the 2013–2014 season.[4]

In mid-2014, Do joined BEC Tero Sasana in the Thai Premier League.[5] As he could obtain the Thai nationality, he would not occupy a limited foreign player spot in the squad registration.[1] BEC Tero won the 2014 Thai League Cup in Do's first season at the club.

He left BEC Tero for Muangthong United before the 2016 Thai League season.[6] Muangthong United won the 2016 Thai League T1 (formerly the Thailand Premier League) and the 2016 Thai League Cup in his first season at the club.

In October 2018, Do was unveiled as a new player for Bangkok United ahead of the 2019 Thai League 1 season.[7] Do left the club at the end of his contract in December 2022[8] and rejoined Muangthong United in May 2023 ahead of the 2022–23 Thai League 1 season.[9]

International career

Do made his senior debut in the friendly match against Afghanistan in September 2015. He also played for the Thailand under-23 team at the 2015 Southeast Asian Games.[5]

Personal life

Tristan Do was born in Paris to a French mother and a Thai father of Vietnamese descent.[1] He had never visited Thailand before being approached by the Thai club BBC Tero Sasana.[2] According to Do, although his father speaks Thai with his relatives in France, he only spoke French while growing up and only learned Thai after moving to the Thailand.[10][2][5]
