Sharing on the official page of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), Madam Pang said she has prepared 3 million baht (more than 2.3 billion VND) to reward the Thai futsal team if the players can defeat the French team.
Madam Pang (middle) continues to encourage the Thai futsal team with a huge bonus.
Notably, if this is achieved, the Thai futsal team will make history, reaching the quarter-finals of the Futsal World Cup for the first time. Up to now, Thailand has participated in the Futsal World Cup 7 times, but the best achievement is only passing the group stage (3 times in 2012, 2016, 2021). The opportunity for the "War Elephants" this time becomes greater when the French team only participates in the Futsal World Cup for the first time.
Madam Pang shared: “Now, we are fully prepared and the care given to the Thai futsal team is extremely good. In the past, Thailand has never been able to pass the round of 16. However, I believe that this time we will break that milestone.
The match against France will be very difficult and full of pressure. But I believe in unity, hard work and Thailand can do it. You will be the ones to bring pride to Thailand, write a new history. Most importantly, I hope that all Thai fans will cheer for the team today."
Thailand futsal team has a great opportunity to change history
Not only Thailand, all eyes of Asian fans are focused on the performance of coach Miguel Rodrigo's students. After the group stage, the "War Elephants" along with Iran (ranked 4th in the world ) and Afghanistan (ranked 30th in the world) are the representatives of Asia in the round of 16. However, in the previous matches, Iran and Afghanistan both suffered defeats. The Afghan futsal team played earlier, meeting Paraguay and losing 1-3. Meanwhile, the Iranian futsal team created an exciting score chase with the African champion - Morocco and lost 3-4.
On the world futsal rankings, the Thai futsal team is ranked 9th while the French team is ranked 10th. In terms of experience and strength, the Thai team is considered to be better than its opponent.
However, coach Miguel Rodrigo is still very cautious: “All the players are determined to win the match against France. I want to see 14 players step onto the field strong, conscious and focused, control the match and play according to the tactics we have practiced. No matter how difficult the match against France is, no one can afford to make mistakes. The team's goal is to reach the quarter-finals.”
Kazakhstan futsal team brings big surprise at futsal World Cup 2024
Also at the 2024 Futsal World Cup, the round of 16 is witnessing many surprises when the strong candidates for the championship were all eliminated early. In addition to the Asian champion, the Iranian team, being eliminated, two powerful representatives of Europe, the Spanish futsal team and Portugal, also had to go home. The Spanish futsal team dominated the entire match against Venezuela but surprisingly lost 1-2. In the following match, the 2021 Futsal World Cup champion - Portugal played below their ability, being defeated by Kazakhstan with the same score.
