12 Wild Boars footballers and their coach were trapped for 18 days in Tham Luang cave after a planned one-hour trip was unexpectedly cut short by sudden flooding on June 23.
Coach Aekaphol Chanthawong's leadership proved vital, keeping the team's spirits high as they survived 10 days without food, drinking only cave water, and even attempting to dig an escape route.
The harrowing ordeal and eventual rescue, which the survivors deemed a miracle, captivated the world and inspired many of the young footballers to consider joining the Navy SEALs.
