Thai Football Association President Madam Pang decides to make a bold move if the "War Elephants" secure a spot in the 2027 Asian Cup finals.

Thai Football Association President Nualphan Lamsam has announced a special bonus for head coach Anthony Hudson if the Thai national team qualifies for the 2027 Asian Cup finals.

According to Thai media, Madam Pang has pledged a personal bonus of 3 million baht (approximately over 2.2 billion Vietnamese dong) for coach Anthony Hudson if the Thai team successfully qualifies for the 2027 Asian Cup finals. This is a personal reward for the head coach, separate from other bonuses for the team if they achieve the target.

This move comes as the Thai national team enters a crucial phase in the Asian Cup qualifiers. The upcoming matches are vital for the "War Elephants" ambition to reach the finals.

Madam Pang is well-known for generously offering rewards to motivate the national teams. Since taking leadership in Thai football, she has frequently announced substantial bonuses for the team whenever they achieve good results in regional and continental tournaments.

Offering a separate reward for the head coach is also seen as a way to boost motivation for the coaching staff in their quest for an Asian Cup spot. If the goal is achieved, this will be a significant reward for coach Anthony Hudson after Thailand's challenging qualification campaign.

However, the journey to secure an Asian Cup spot for the "War Elephants" is predicted to be tough. The team faces many challenges regarding form and squad strength, with key players like Theerathon Bunmathan and Suphanat Mueanta dealing with fitness issues... This forces the coaching staff to carefully strategize and plan personnel to achieve the set target.

In the final match on March 31, Thailand will face Turkmenistan at home. Currently, both teams have 12 points, but Thailand ranks lower due to a poorer goal difference. This match promises an intense and thrilling showdown for fans.
