The Thai Elephant Warriors are in contention for their best FIFA ranking in 18 years and 3 months!
As of 5 June 2026, the Thailand national team is ranked 93rd in the FIFA rankings with 1,252.14 points.
Thailand is scheduled to play international friendlies against Kuwait (ranked 134th) on 5 June at Pathum Thani Stadium, and against China (ranked 94th) on 9 June at Jinhua Sports Center Stadium.
