Thai team banned from one thing just before match against Vietnam U20

Players of the Thai women's U20 national team have been instructed not to use social media until after completing their matches in the 2026 AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup Finals hosted at home.

According to information from Thairath, the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) has decided that the players of the Thai women's U20 team will not be allowed to use social media until they finish their duties at the 2026 AFC U20 Women's Asian Cup Finals, which is being held on their home ground. It is known that head coach Nuengrutai Sratongvian was the one who proposed this measure.

The "no" to social media aims to help the national team players avoid negative information during the competition period, while maintaining maximum focus towards important goals.

In their opening match of Group A, the Thai women's U20 team had a hard-fought comeback victory over Bangladesh with a score of 3-2. This result gave the host team their first 3 points, temporarily placing them second in the group standings.

In the next match scheduled at 20:00 on April 4, the Thai U20 team will face Vietnam U20 - the team that lost 0-3 to China U20 in their opening match. Speaking ahead of this match, the head coach of the Thai U20 team affirmed the goal of defeating their familiar neighbor. "In the upcoming match against Vietnam, we will strive to perform better, especially in terms of confidence. I believe it will be an exciting match, as both teams understand each other and Vietnam has also prepared very thoroughly,"said Nuengrutai Sratongvian.
