"Madam Pang" candidly shares her thoughts on the teams she supports in the 2026 World Cup championship race, cheering for an additional team.
On 23 June 2026, Madam Pang, Nuallapan Lamsam, president of the Football Association of Thailand, spoke openly about her favored teams in the 2026 World Cup after a press conference on the plan to settle a 360 million baht debt owed to Siam Sport Syndicate Public Company and Cineplex Co., Ltd. (True) arising from issues under the previous administration.
Madam Pang, Nuallapan Lamsam, revealed she plans to attend the 2026 World Cup final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey, USA, on 19 July.
Regarding which national team she supports in the 2026 World Cup, following earlier social media posts showing her wearing the Argentina team jersey on the Madam Pang Facebook page, the Football Association president responded, "It has nothing to do with that. I support every team."
"But deep down, I've supported Argentina for a long time. I think it's difficult to defend the title. As far as I know, Brazil has defended the championship twice, as has Italy. Still, I'm a fan of the Albiceleste (Argentina)."
Additionally, Madam Pang also quietly supports another team from Asia, saying, "But I am also cheering for an Asian team. Currently, the team with the highest points is probably Japan. They are very strong."
As for Argentina, they won their first 2026 World Cup match 3-0 against Algeria, earning 3 points and leading Group J. Meanwhile, Japan has played two matches, drawing 2-2 with the Netherlands and then winning 4-0 against Tunisia, accumulating 4 points to stand second in Group F.
