Despite the fact that the Thai national football team did not qualify for the 2026 Fifa World Cup, Prime Minister Srettha Thavisin declared he was pleased with the player’s performance on Tuesday.
Thailand won 3-1 over Singapore in the next qualifying round suit held at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok.
But, the War Elephants were unable to advance to the playoffs due to their inconsistent head-to-head performance in front of China. Thailand is in Group C, which saw South Korea and , China progress.
Mr. Srettha informed the media on Wednesday that the state wanted to thank Nualphan Lamsam, the president of Thailand’s sport organization under royal support, for her efforts to advance the Thai national team.
” Even though the group did not advance to the next round, I think everyone was happy with the outcome.” But Thai soccer has improved in many respects, such as the life conditions of the team members and the team’s services”, said Mr Srettha.
” The president of the sports organization has made every effort possible. Our main objective, which is to approach the World Cup finals, will need to be completed in four more years.
Although Ms. Nualphan was recently appointed to the position, she had done properly, according to Mr. Srettha, noting that now was the perfect time to evaluate what could be done.
” As a Thai, I’m pleased that no foreign people play for our national group.” This is the delight of all people in the country”, said Mr Srettha.
Spectators claimed that he was most likely making an allusion to the teams from Singapore and China, both of which have a number of international or naturalized players.  ,
The Thai coach’s reputation would be enhanced by the premier’s desire to discover their abilities be showcased abroad. He claimed that it would be beneficial to have a Thai national team coach.
Kiatisuk Senamuang was a well-known mind coach of the Thai national squad in the past. Under Mr Kiatisuk’s leadership, the men’s U- 23 squad won silver at the 2013 Southeast Asian Games. He was also the head manager of the Thai team that won the 2014 AFF Championship.
” I want to suggest having a Thai coach”, the top said.
He added that, as the head of government, and by organizing the weight between the public and private sectors, he was willing to back the crew on a specific amount.
Some officials attended Tuesday’s suit, including Transport Minister Suriya Jungrungreangkit, Tourism and Sports Minister Sermsak Pongpanich, and Agriculture and Cooperatives Minister Thamanat Prompow.
