Facts about national blind football team
Currently ranked 13th in the world, the Thai blind football team have shown incremental growth since their inception in 2011. In September 2017, they won the ASEAN Para Games for the second time and scooped bronze in their first appearance at the IBSA Blind Football Asian Championships two months later. At the 2018 IBSA Blind Football World Championships, Thailand announced themselves on the world stage with impressive performances, exhibiting their physical strength and goal-scoring prowess to finish 12th out of 16.
Here are three facts you need to know about Thailand's blind football team:
- The Thailand national blind football team was established in 2011. In that year, they made their international debut at the IBSA World Games in Antalya, Turkey. Though they finished last, afterward Thailand gained more experience playing other nations in Asia and hosted an open blind football tournament to teams in the region in 2013.
