Thailand - The Football Association of Thailand
The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) or the full name is the Football Association of Thailand under Patronage of His Majesty the King is the governing body of football in Thailand. It was founded in
25 April 1916 and then joined FIFA in
23 June 1925 and Asian Football Confederation in
1957.
Recently the FAT has been highly criticized during 2005-2006 including:
- Thailand got warned twice from Asian Football Confederation to improve its facilities for 2007 AFC Asian Cup in June 2005 and in October 2006
- Thailand club teams were rejected in AFC Champions League because of the failure to submit player squads in time
- Prize money for Thailand Division 1 League (season 2006) has been missing. Royal Thai Police FC, the winner of the season told the press to sue the FAT.
- Provide not enough public information for football matches that will be hold in Thailand including King's Cup, Queen's Cup, 2007 ASEAN Football Federation Championship, and 2007 AFC Asian Cup. And also there are no data of national teams even in their website.
