Myanmar, Thailand footballers to play friendly match today



 October 4, 2017

In preparation for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup Qualifications, the Myanmar national football team will play against Thailand today at Mandalar Thiri Stadium in Mandalay.


The Myanmar players have been training in Mandalay recently not only for today’s match but also for the upcoming international competitions.

A press conference held yesterday was attended by the football players and coaches from Myanmar and Thailand. Myanmar’s coach said today’s friendly would be a good test for his team because of the talented opponents. “As Thailand is one of the best teams in Southeast Asia, we will respond our best. I will watch this match for who will be the right player for the upcoming qualifications. As Kyi Lin has been recovering from his injury, I would like try to give a playing chance for this player,” said Myanmar Head Coach Gerd Zeise.

“While this friendly match is important, it’s not as important as the upcoming AFC Qualification match against Kyrgyzstan. We will take many advantages from this friendly match to the next international qualification matches,” said Myanmar shinning player Yan Aung Kyaw during the conference.
