Hudson revealed to Thairath the progress on bringing Eric Kahl to play for the Thailand national team instead of Sweden (video).
On 2 Dec 2025 GMT+7, Anthony Hudson, coach of the Thailand national team, gave an exclusive interview on the "Clear Rim Sen" program via Thairath Sport, answering fan questions submitted in comments on 1 Dec 2025 GMT+7.
One of the most interesting questions that Thai fans were eager to know was about the chance that Eric Kahl, the Thai-Swedish left-back from Aarhus, the top team in Denmark's premier league, would choose to play for either Thailand or Sweden's senior national team.
Eric Kahl, 24, previously told Fotbollskanalen that he still hopes to be called up to the senior Sweden national team, which is his ultimate goal, but he does not close the door to playing for Thailand either. His mother is Thai, and his father is Swedish.
Anthony Hudson spoke about the possibility that Eric Kahl, who has played for Sweden U21, might choose to play for Thailand's senior team: "It's difficult to go into deep details, but what I can say is that I have already had conversations with Eric Kahl."
"The results from the talks with Eric Kahl were very positive between both parties. This is very important to me to show him who we are, what we will do, and what our goals and vision for the future look like."
"But I must admit, he is very smart and asked excellent questions. Overall, the discussion went very well, so let's wait and see."
