The 'War Elephants' Thai national team departed for Hanoi, Vietnam, ready to compete in the LP BANK CUP 2024 football tournament against Russia and Vietnam. Japanese head coach Masatada Ishii led the 23-man Thai national team, 'Changsuek', departing from Don Mueang International Airport to Hanoi, Vietnam, to participate in a special football tournament during the FIFA Day, 'LP BANK CUP 2024'. The 'War Elephants' senior team is led by Weerathep Pomphan, the team captain from True Bangkok United, and Suphanat Mueanta, the center forward from OH Leuven in the Belgian league, along with new blood players such as Kakana Khamyoek, the 20-year-old midfielder from Muangthong United, Patrick Gustafsson, the 23-year-old striker from Nara Club in Japan's J-League 3, and William Wederjo, the 23-year-old striker from Uthai Thani FC. Masatada Ishii said that from 4 days of training, the players have a better understanding of playing tactics and wants everyone to have a chance to play. He wants to focus on our team and how much of what we do in training can be applied on the field. The team has analyzed their opponents like Russia and hopes to benefit from this game, but more important than winning are the details of the game. If we do our homework well, we can win. Vice-captain Elias Dolah said that although the team has many new players, he believes that everyone has the potential to perform well in both games, against Russia and Vietnam. For the 'LP Bank Cup 2024' football program of the Thai national team, the first match is on Saturday, September 7, against Russia, and the second match is on Tuesday, September 10, against Vietnam, with both matches kicking off at 8:00 p.m. at My Dinh Stadium.
