Thailand set for UAE 2019 challenge
Abu Dhabi: Thailand are the latest
team to arrive for the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019, with the Southeast Asians
arriving in Abu Dhabi on Sunday.
The Thais will be appearing in
their first AFC Asian Cup Finals since co-hosting the 2007 edition where their
campaign ended in the group stage.
Milovan Rajevac's men will be
looking to impress, especially after relinquishing their AFF Cup title, with
Vietnam winning the recent 2018 edition.
Thailand will play in Group A with
hosts UAE, Bahrain and India for company.
They kick-off their challenge
against India on January 6. They then face Bahrain on January 10 and the UAE
four days later.
Thailand's best achievement in the
AFC Asian Cup was in 1972, when they finished third. Their subsequent five
appearances ended in the group stage and they will be aiming to better that in
UAE 2019.
