Coach Ishii Masatada’s scouting team, led by the former Thai national coach, exposes opponents spying on the Thai national team’s training by every possible means.
On 30 Mar 2026 GMT+7, "Champ" Narubet Saengsawang, one of Coach Masatada Ishii’s scouts, analyzed ahead of the crucial match in the 2027 Asian Cup qualifiers, Group D, matchday 6. The Thai national team is scheduled to host Turkmenistan on 31 Mar 2026 at 19:30 GMT+7 at Rajamangala Stadium, as discussed on the "Clear Rim Sen" program on Thairath Sport.
For this match, the Thai men’s national football team is in a situation where they must defeat Turkmenistan to qualify for the final round of the 2027 Asian Cup in Saudi Arabia.
During the program, Champ revealed his perspective on scouting practices of various nations when Thailand plays away. "If they want to watch, they do it secretly. But most of the training plans are completed at the BGPU Training Center. For example, in Vietnam, drones were used to spy on training; officials wouldn’t let us go out. The drones flew over the training, and although we tried to chase them away by throwing balls, we couldn’t reach them, so we didn’t report it."
"Some countries also secretly observe from dark rooms. When we visit, we are always at a disadvantage."
Additionally, Champ Narubet disclosed that he has already given all the information about Turkmenistan to Hudson.
