According to Siamsport : "At the same time, FAT also announced the date to hold the election for the new president of the federation on February 8, 2024 at the FAT headquarters. Applications for the position of FAT President will be accepted from today (November 24) to December 9. From March 11, 2024, FAT will officially have a new president and a new executive committee, starting work for a 4-year term from 2024 to 2028". Madam Pang (billionaire Nualphan Lamsam) is currently the number 1 candidate for the position of FAT President to replace Mr. Somyot Poompanmoung.
Madam Pang is about to become FAT President
Information about Madam Pang running for the position of FAT President has been out for more than a month, after this female billionaire and Head of the Thai National Team received support from two powerful Presidents of Buriram United Club, Mr. Newin Chidchob and Khun Pavin Bhirombkhadi (BG Pathum United Club).
This powerful trio in Thai League 1, along with Madam Pang, who is also the Chairman of Port Club, had an important meeting before the Thai team competed in the second qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup in Asia. In which, all three declared that they would help the team win a ticket to the 2026 World Cup. The first was to add Japanese coach Masatada Ishii (who was then the Head Coach of Buriram United Club) as the Technical Director of FAT.
However, this is a move to pave the way for Mr. Masatada Ishii to replace coach Mano Polking. Right after the opening match, the Thai team lost to the Chinese team with a score of 1-2 and was criticized by fans, the decision to fire coach Mano Polking and appoint coach Masatada Ishii was made. But everything was only made official after the match when the Thai team won against Singapore with a score of 3-1 on November 21.
Coach Mano Polking must part ways with the Thai national team because of the upcoming power change at FAT.
The appointment of coach Masatada Ishii to replace coach Mano Polking is the intention of Buriram United Club President, Mr. Newin Chidchob and BG Pathum United Club President Khun Pavin Bhirombkhadi. In return, these people will support Madam Pang to become the new President of FAT.
According to Siamsport and Thai press, there is currently no candidate who can compete with Madam Pang, as the other two, Mr. Newin Chidchob and Khun Pavin Bhirombkhadi, will not run.
