According to the schedule, Timor Leste will host Thailand at Hang Day Stadium (Hanoi) in the opening match of Group A - AFF Cup 2024.
Because the stadium in Timor Leste is not qualified to host matches at the AFF Cup, the national team chose Hang Day as their home stadium for the two matches in the group stage.
In terms of strength, the Thai team is rated much higher than Timor Leste, a candidate for the championship this year. Although not having the services of key players such as Chanathip, Theerathon or Dangda, coach Ishii Masatada still has many other quality and experienced players such as Suphanat, Supachok, Nicholas Mickelson, Jonathan Khemdee, Ekanit Panya...
On the other side, the Timor Leste team is mostly made up of unknown players with limited expertise. However, under the guidance of Chilean coach Simon Elissetche, the team has made progress compared to itself, through the AFF Cup play-off match with Brunei and some recent friendly matches.
However, Timor Leste is not Thailand's opponent at this time. A big win for the "War Elephants" is the result that many people think of. Suphanat and his teammates also want a favorable result with a high goal difference to compete for first and second place in the table.
The match between Thailand and Timor Leste will take place at 8:00 p.m. today (December 8) and will be broadcast live on FPT Play.
