Madam Pang made a strong statement when her team fought against Vietnam.

(Dan Tri) - Ahead of the first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final, President of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT), Madam Pang, sent a strong message to the home team before the match against Vietnam.

*The first leg of the 2024 AFF Cup final between Vietnam and Thailand will take place at 8:00 p.m. tonight (January 2), at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho). Dan Tri will report this match live.

The Thai team will enter the important match against the Vietnamese team in the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 final at Viet Tri Stadium (Phu Tho) at 8:00 p.m. today (January 2). Before this match, the "War Elephants" faced many disadvantages.

They just went through 120 minutes of fierce "plowing" against the Philippines in the first leg of the AFF Cup 2024 semi-final. After that, the entire Thai team immediately traveled to Vietnam to compete in the first leg of the final. The Golden Temple team only had one training session at Viet Tri Stadium, before entering the important match.

Faced with that situation, Madam Pang has motivated the whole team. The head of Thai football sent a message to the whole team: "Let's strive for the 8th AFF Cup championship in history. We are facing a great opportunity to win the 3rd consecutive AFF Cup championship.

Dream final. Thailand is only two steps away from glory. I believe that the "War Elephants" will complete the mission of defeating the Vietnamese team."

Madam Pang has been following the Thai national team in international tournaments for many years. The billionaire not only plays an important role in managing the team but also regularly takes practical actions to encourage the players.

However, she has not yet announced the bonus for the Thai team if they win the 2024 AFF Cup. At the AFF Cup, Madam Pang only announced the bonus once, giving 3 million baht (about 2.2 billion VND) to the home team when they won the right to enter the semi-finals.

Thai media believe that this female billionaire will spend a lot of money if her team makes history by winning the 2024 AFF Cup. However, all information is currently kept secret to avoid affecting the players' psychology.

The Thai team has met the Vietnamese team 29 times in the past. Of which, they won 18 matches, drew 8 matches and lost 3 matches. The last time the "War Elephants" fell to the "Golden Dragons" was in the 2019 King's Cup. In the two most recent AFF Cups, Thailand defeated the Vietnamese team in the knockout round (AFF Cup 2020 semi-finals and AFF Cup 2022 finals).
