The brawl in the men's football final of the 32nd SEA Games between U22 Thailand and U22 Indonesia is still receiving great attention from the media and public opinion.
Riot in the final match of SEA Games 32
Even recently, FIFA President, Mr. Infantino, also commented on the above unfortunate incident.
Mr. Infantino said that Southeast Asia is a place with great potential to develop football but violence has held the region back.
“Southeast Asian football has the potential to grow in both depth and breadth. However, it is held back by violence and other social issues.
The incident on the night of May 16 at the Olympic Stadium in Phnom Penh was very unfortunate.
The team's officials should have taken measures to prevent conflicts between players. But they jumped in and fought with the players.
Images from the SEA Games final send a very negative message in football.
I hope that after a series of incidents in Southeast Asian football, managers from AFC, AFF, and national football federations will look back and find ways to prevent similar things from happening in the future,” said Mr. Infantino.
Regarding the brawl, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) has established an investigation committee headed by police lieutenant general Amnuay Nimmano to investigate, collect evidence and take measures to handle the individuals involved.
“The investigation committee needs to find the truth, invite witnesses, collect evidence to give a conclusion to FAT within 15 days. From there, the committee will also propose solutions and measures,” FAT said.
