Lisbon, son of Theerathon, reacts as Hudson calls his father to join the Thailand national team, after initially giving up hope.
On 13 Mar 2026 GMT+7, the strong Buriram United player showed great excitement upon hearing from Anthony Hudson, coach of the Thailand national team, that his father was called up to compete in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers against Turkmenistan during the FIFA match window in March.
The story goes that Lisbon's mother, Base, playfully told him beforehand that his father was not selected this time. Then, as they watched the live announcement together, when the name “Theerathon Bunmathan” was called, Lisbon—who had been quietly writing—immediately looked up at his mother, flipped backward once, and exclaimed, “OH MY GOD!”
The Thailand national team is scheduled to play Turkmenistan in the final Group D match of the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers on Tuesday, 31 March 2026 at 19:30 GMT+7. The game will be broadcast on Thairath TV, Channel 32. Thailand needs a win to advance to the next round.
