The Thai team stopped at the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup after losing to Uzbekistan. Despite their best efforts, the "War Elephants" were still unable to surpass the level of the Central Asian team and accepted defeat with a score of 1-2.
Thus, both Southeast Asian representatives Indonesia and Thailand stopped at the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup after losing to Australia and Uzbekistan.
Thus, they could not break the record of the Vietnamese team in this tournament. Accordingly, the "Golden Star Warriors" are the Southeast Asian team that won the knockout round at the Asian Cup in history (only counting tournaments with knockout rounds).
Accordingly, the Vietnamese team defeated Jordan in the round of 16 of the 2019 Asian Cup to enter the quarterfinals.
Meanwhile, Thailand has advanced from the group stage three times in 1972, 2019, 2023 but failed in the knockout stage. Similarly, Indonesia also failed to win when it advanced from the group stage for the first time in this year's tournament.
Despite failing to reach the quarter-finals of the 2023 Asian Cup, Thailand still had a successful tournament. They rose 12 places to 101st in the world. Currently, the Thai team leads Southeast Asia in the FIFA rankings. The Vietnamese team fell 12 places, from 94th to 106th in the world.
Although the Thai team could not advance further, Madam Pang still congratulated and thanked the team for their efforts. The head of the Thai football delegation shared: "Thank you for your sacrifice. Thank you for your commitment.
We are extremely proud of the team. The Thai team stopped in the round of 16 of the 2023 Asian Cup but my journey did not stop here.
This achievement is a testament to the ability and potential of the Thai team and is the result of everyone's dedicated efforts. From coach Masatada Ishii, the coaching staff, the players to officials at all levels.
All together in solidarity throughout the past time. The team members have been away from home for a whole month for a big goal.
I am the manager of the team and also a big fan of Thai football. I thank you for everything. I hope we will return to happiness, love and unity again.
I believe that the support of the fans will be the source of strength to help the Thai team go further. Let's cheer for the team together."
