Thai women's team shockedly lost, lost ticket to Asian Cup at home

Thanh Vũ |

In the final round of Group B of the 2026 Asian Cup qualifiers on the evening of July 5, the Thai women's team unexpectedly lost 1-2 to India right at home.

The home loss caused Thailand to lose their only ticket to the final round, ending their bitter qualifying journey.

Before the match, Thailand and India both had 9 points and were equal to all secondary indicators. If they draw, the two teams will have to determine the top spot by a penalty shootout.

However, a surprise occurred when the visiting team India played more disciplined and effectively, while Thailand appeared to be at a dead end and made many individual mistakes.

Although they are rated higher in terms of strength and international experience, coach Futoshi Ikeda's students could not take advantage of the home field advantage. This defeat not only caused Thailand to miss the 2026 Asian Cup but also raised big questions about the development orientation of women's football in this country.

Japanese coach Futoshi Ikeda is under great pressure and will likely be fired. Meanwhile, President of the Thai Football Federation - Ms. Madam Pang is expected to make drastic changes to prepare for the goal of winning the 33rd SEA Games gold medal at home at the end of this year.
