Thai national team's away record in the Philippines is tougher than expected ahead of the 2026 ASEAN Cup matchday 3.
On 4 August 2026, we review the Thai national team's past performances when visiting the Philippines in the ASEAN football championship before their meeting in the 2026 ASEAN Cup group stage matchday 3, Group B, scheduled for 20:00 today.
The Thai national team has played in the Philippines four times in the ASEAN football championship, winning only once—in the 2016 ASEAN Cup group stage final match of Group A, coached by "Coach Zico" Kiatisuk Senamuang, with a 1-0 away victory thanks to a winning goal by Sarawut Masuk.
In the other three meetings, the Philippines performed better, winning once and drawing twice. The most recent visit saw the Philippines defeat Thailand 2-1 in the 2024 ASEAN Cup semi-final first leg, held at the Rizal Memorial artificial turf stadium in Manila.
6 December 2014 (2014 ASEAN Cup semi-final first leg): Philippines 0-0 Thailand.
25 November 2016 (2016 ASEAN Cup group stage): Philippines 0-1 Thailand.
21 November 2018 (2018 ASEAN Cup group stage): Philippines 1-1 Thailand.
27 December 2024 (2024 ASEAN Cup semi-final first leg): Philippines 2-1 Thailand.
Currently, the Thai national team leads Group B with two consecutive wins, totaling 6 points, equal with Malaysia but with a superior goal difference (Thailand +7 / Malaysia +3). The Philippines are in fourth place with 3 points, having won one and lost one match.
