LIVE broadcast channel: Thailand U23 national team will play the AFC U23 Championship Group D matchday 3 against China U23 at Al Shabab Club Stadium on 14 January 2026 at 18:30 Thailand time, live on YouTube: BG Sports
Thailand U23 has played 2 matches with 1 loss and 1 draw, earning 1 point but still has a chance to advance to the quarterfinals by aiming for first or second place in Group D if they can beat China, who have 4 points from their first 2 games (1 win, 1 draw).
The only condition for Thailand U23 to advance is to win. If they do, they will secure first or second place in the group due to a better head-to-head record over China, without needing to rely on the Australia-Iraq match result.
However, Thailand U23 will be without General Maneekorn, the left back who must serve the second match of his suspension following a red card in the opening game lost 1-2 to Australia, as well as striker Thanawut Phochai, suspended after accumulating two yellow cards.
Thailand U23, coached by "Coach Wang," still has key players like Iklas Sanharon, Sitta Bunla, Nathan James, Vision Inaram, and Chinngeun Putanyong, the hero who scored the equalizer against Iraq in the recent 1-1 draw.
Meanwhile, China is led by Peng Xiao, who scored the winning goal to beat Australia 1-0, and Behram Abduweli, a forward of Uyghur descent.
