'None of us 14 were chosen by lottery!' Muhammad Usman Musa fired up the Thai national team before leading them to a crushing victory over Kuwait.
On 30 Jan 2026, we recall the inspiring words of “Jao Med” Muhammad Usman Musa, the Thai national futsal player who scored 4 goals by himself to lead the team to a 6-1 victory over Kuwait in the 2026 AFC Futsal Championship group stage, Group B, second match on 29 January.
Before the game began, “Jao Med” said passionately, "The 14 of us here were not chosen by lottery. We came here because of our abilities. Therefore, we believe in ourselves and in our teammates. I wish everyone good luck."
This victory secured Thailand 6 full points, guaranteeing their advancement to the quarterfinals alongside Vietnam, even though they still have a group stage match against each other on 31 January 2026.
For their next match, the Thai men's futsal team will play against Vietnam in the 2026 AFC Futsal Championship Group B third round at Indonesia Arena on 31 January 2026 at 15:00, broadcast live on YouTube: BG Sports.
