Anthony Hudson revealed the latest team readiness, while Sarach Uyen outlined goals before facing the Kuwait national football team in a FIFA Day friendly.
On 4 June 2026, English coach Anthony Hudson shared the latest updates, while Sarach Uyen stated the goals ahead of the FIFA Day friendly match. This international 'A' match on the FIFA Day calendar in June features Thailand, ranked 93rd in the world, against Kuwait, ranked 134th globally.
Anthony Hudson said, "Our goal every time we prepare the team is to aim for victory. We have prepared tactics by analyzing the opponent's strengths and weaknesses. We have different players than in the previous two camps and try to bring out each player's potential as much as possible through the system and tactics."
"Player Theeraphat Prueathong is included this time, and it's appropriate for him to get the opportunity due to his quality, both his form with his J.League club and his playing level. Expectations for players should not be too high or put too much pressure on them. Everyone understands the system and methods and the expectations for each player. He is a talented youth. The coaches and staff's role is to support, develop, and encourage him, trying to draw out improvements. We do not want to set expectations or pressure him excessively."
Meanwhile, Sarach Uyen said, "I intend to perform well from now on. The coach has told us to focus primarily on the Asian Cup, so we must prepare starting now. In about 6–7 months, we must perform well. Every match we play, we must aim for victory and absorb as much of the coach's playing style as possible. Everyone knows the goals set by the coach; it now depends on the players' quality and response. We will try to adapt and be ready for the Asian Cup."
"We already know the quality of Middle Eastern teams. Our goal is to win at home. The coach has told everyone that from now until the Asian Cup, we must improve in every match. Everyone will try to secure victory in tomorrow’s game."
