The Thai national team has broken an important plan to prepare for the World Cup qualifiers

In preparation for dealing with the complicated developments of the Covid-19 epidemic, the Thai Football Federation (FAT) was forced to continue postponing the return date of the Thai League. Football clubs in this country also have to close the training sessions and ban spectators. National coach, Akira Nishino, will personally follow the players if requested.

However, the latest situation shows that this plan is not feasible. The website Siamsport said that many provinces in Thailand were in a blockade and travel restriction. This makes traveling between localities impossible.

Coach Akira Nishino wants to take the initiative in the situation the whole world is in trouble. When the disease is under control, Thailand will have the advantage of having more time to prepare than rivals. This is extremely important when the end of this year will have many important matches of the War Elephants in the 2022 World Cup qualifiers. So the latest developments will make Japanese coach have a headache how to cope with it in the future.

In the 2022 World Cup qualifiers, Thailand are ranked 3rd with 8 points after 5 matches. In addition to the match against the Indonesian opponent who has no more chance to move on, coach Akira Nishino will have to face two competitors directly competing for his next ticket, Malaysia and UAE. The timing of these matches has not yet been officially announced by FIFA.
