On November 11, the Thai men’s national football team held their first training session at BG Training Center in Pathum Thani, preparing for friendlies against Lebanon and Laos on November 14 and 17 at Thammasat Stadium. Players from True Bangkok United joined the squad after a recent league match, with this initial session focusing on recovery and team cohesion.

Midfielder Panthamit Praphan expressed excitement about his national team debut, aiming to learn from seasoned teammates and follow the coach’s tactics closely. His coach, Sasom Pobprasert (nicknamed “Coach Tia”), encouraged Panthamit to keep improving. Similarly, defender Saringkan Promsupa, who last represented Thailand four years ago, voiced enthusiasm about returning to the national stage. He noted the influence of head coach Masatada Ishii’s structured Japanese approach and is determined to perform well to maintain his place in future squads.
