The Thailand national football team ({{langx|th|ฟุตบอลทีมชาติไทย}}, {{RTGS|futbon thim chat thai}}, {{IPA|th|fút.bɔ̄n tʰīːm t͡ɕʰâːt tʰāj|pron}}) represents Thailand in senior international football and is controlled by the Football Association of Thailand.

In the regional competition, Thailand is the most successful football team in Southeast Asia{{Efn|Although Australia has been a member of the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) since 27 August 2013; in football, the two words "Southeast Asia" are still often used with a geographical connotation.}} with seven ASEAN Championship trophies and nine senior-level gold medals from the Southeast Asian Games, the most of any Southeast Asian country. In higher levels, Thailand achieved the third place in the 1972 AFC Asian Cup where it was the host, and has a total of seven appearances in the AFC Asian Cup so far. Furthermore, the team reached the fourth-place in the 1990 and 1998 Asian Games and participated in the Summer Olympics twice. However, Thailand has failed to obtain higher achievements in the continental and global records.{{cite AV media|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cokKXl--A3s |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/varchive/youtube/20211222/cokKXl--A3s |archive-date=2021-12-22 |url-status=live|title=Asian Cup 2019: Last Chance for Thailand?|author=Tifo Football|publisher=YouTube|date=31 December 2018|access-date=20 July 2019|medium=6:22}}{{cbignore}} The team obtained their first win in the AFC Asian Cup in 2007 and had to wait 47 years to finally sneak out of the group stage in 2019.{{Cite web|url = https://www.thairath.co.th/sport/trcheerthai/1777030|title = เปิดอันดับฟีฟ่าแรงกิ้งล่าสุด เบลเยียมที่ 1 โลก "ทีมชาติไทย" เป็นรองเวียดนาม (คลิป)|date = 21 February 2020|access-date = 24 February 2020|archive-date = 24 February 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200224071527/https://www.thairath.co.th/sport/trcheerthai/1777030|url-status = live}} Thailand also advanced to the final round of World Cup qualification twice, in 2002 and 2018, but failed to qualify for the FIFA World Cup.

History

The team's predecessor, which operated under the name of Siam, was founded in 1915 and played its first unofficial match against a team of Europeans at the Royal Bangkok Sports Club Stadium on 20 December that year. The team played its first international match in 1930 against the Indochina national team, which included both South Vietnamese and French players.{{cite book|author=Kenneth Perry Landon|title=Siam in Transition: A Brief Survey of Cultural Trends in the Five Years Since the Revolution of 1932|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=j0IcAAAAMAAJ|year=1939|publisher=University of Chicago Press|pages=209–}}

Thailand appeared in the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, where their loss to Great Britain 0–9, was the largest to that point, thus failing to advance to the quarter-finals. In 1959, Thailand as the host won silver medals in the Southeast Asian Peninsular Games after losing 1–3 to South Vietnam in the final. In 1965, Thailand harbored its first distinct title: the very first place in the Southeast Asian Games. They made their second and latest appearance at the Summer Olympics in 1968, losing all three matches by at least 3 goals margin to Bulgaria, Guatemala, and Czechoslovakia hence en route to a first-round exit.{{cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/954877/thailands-100-year-football-milestone|title=Thailand's 100-year football milestone|newspaper=Bangkok Post|date=May 2016 }}

During the 1992 AFC Asian Cup qualification, Thailand gained a significant success defeating South Korea 2–1 and Bangladesh 1–0 to top the group and qualify to the 1992 AFC Asian Cup. The team's performance at the final tournament was drawing first two matches with Qatar and eventual 3rd place China then losing 0–4 to Saudi Arabia. In 1994, manager Thawatchai Sartjakul assembled a team that has been denounced as the "dream team" with players like Kiatisuk Senamuang, Tawan Sripan and Dusit Chalermsan.{{cite web|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tables/92asch.html|title=Asian Nations Cup 1992|access-date=3 February 2023|archive-date=29 November 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221129064520/https://rsssf.org/tables/92asch.html|url-status=live}}

In 1996, Thailand defeated Malaysia 1–0 and win the 1996 AFF Championship for the first time. Thailand were favorites to regain the crown in 2007, 2008 and 2012 only to lose tight finals to Singapore and Vietnam respectively.{{cite web|url=https://www.aseanfootball.org/v3/competitions-2/aff-championship/aff-championship-1996/|title=AFF Championship – Tiger Cup 1996|date=25 November 2010 |access-date=3 June 2021|archive-date=3 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210603040107/https://www.aseanfootball.org/v3/competitions-2/aff-championship/aff-championship-1996/|url-status=live}}

The regional 1998 AFF Championship saw Thailand met Indonesia in a match that ill-hearted players from both team deliberately making actions aimed to avoid facing hosts Vietnam in the semi-finals and undergoing technical burden of moving training bases from Ho Chi Minh City to Hanoi.1998 Tiger Cup [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mtfgzVPMMM#t=56s Match Highlight] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20161204172214/https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9mtfgzVPMMM#t=56s |date=4 December 2016 }} FIFA fined both teams $40,000 for "violating the spirit of the game". Thailand eventually lost the match, inevitably encountered and failed to Vietnam in the semi-finals.

Thailand consecutively qualified to and participated in two AFC Asian Cup final tournaments both held within Western Asia in 1996 and 2000 when their "dream team" was beginning its golden period. Coincidentally in both editions, the team's opponents all came from Western Asia and they are Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, Iran and Iraq, with the latter two share the same group with Thailand twice. In both editions, Thailand made two draws and lost the rest, bottomed the group stage of the first and is the worst third-placed team of the second edition.{{cite web|url=https://www.affsuzukicup.com/2020/news/thailand/565-flashback-2000-asean-football-championship|title=FLASHBACK: 2000 ASEAN FOOTBALL CHAMPIONSHIP|access-date=3 June 2021|archive-date=3 June 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210603040106/https://www.affsuzukicup.com/2020/news/thailand/565-flashback-2000-asean-football-championship|url-status=live |last1=Wilson |first1=Simon }}

The final 2000 AFF Championship match between Thailand and Indonesia, at a sold-out Rajamangala, was almost a carbon copy of their group stage encounter. The War Elephants triumphed 4–1 again with Worrawoot setting up camp at the opponents' goal. The 28-year-old scored twice in their first match and in the final struck a hat-trick in the first 32 minutes.{{cite web|url=http://www.affsuzukicup.com/2018/news/thailand/565-flashback-2000-asean-football-championship|title=Flashback: 2000 ASEAN Football Championship|access-date=23 August 2018|archive-date=24 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180824002248/http://www.affsuzukicup.com/2018/news/thailand/565-flashback-2000-asean-football-championship|url-status=live}} In the final 2002 AFF Cup final, Thailand again met Indonesia (who was now the host) and won the game in penalty shootout despite taking a 2–0 lead.{{cite web|url=http://www.affsuzukicup.com/2018/news/indonesia/580-flashback-2002-asean-football-championship-3|title=Flashback: 2002 ASEAN Football Championship|access-date=23 August 2018|archive-date=23 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180823210759/http://www.affsuzukicup.com/2018/news/indonesia/580-flashback-2002-asean-football-championship-3|url-status=live}}

Thailand again qualified to the 2004 AFC Asian Cup and was put into a group with Japan, Iran and debutant Oman. Despite vast experiences in the Asian Cup, the team has yet to show a sign of improvement as they lost all matches and became the worst-performed team in the whole tournament.

The sign of improvement only came in the 2007 AFC Asian Cup when Thailand participated as a well-prepared co-host and was placed with the debutant Australia, Oman, and Iraq. The team managed a draw to Iraq and a historic win over Oman. With 4 points ahead, Thailand's chance to qualify for the next round for the first time since 1972 was all but shattered by the likes of Australia in a 0–4 demolition. The tournament witnessed the end of Thailand's recognizable generation with later retirements of Kiatisuk, Tawan, and Pipat.{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/features/flashback-afc-asian-cup-2007|title=Flashback: AFC Asian Cup 2007|access-date=3 June 2021|archive-date=27 September 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210927102035/https://www.the-afc.com/features/flashback-afc-asian-cup-2007|url-status=live}}

In September 2009, Bryan Robson agreed to coach Thailand in his first foray into international football management{{cite news| url=https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/6222349/Bryan-Robson-to-coach-Thailand.html |archive-url=https://ghostarchive.org/archive/20220110/https://www.telegraph.co.uk/sport/football/international/6222349/Bryan-Robson-to-coach-Thailand.html |archive-date=10 January 2022 |url-access=subscription |url-status=live | work=The Daily Telegraph | location=London | title=Bryan Robson to coach Thailand Bryan Robson has agreed to replace his former England team-mate Peter Reid as coach of Thailand. | date=23 September 2009 | access-date=27 April 2010}}{{cbignore}} and was contracted to manage the team through to the 2014 FIFA World Cup. In November, Robson celebrated his first competitive match in charge of the team with an away victory against Singapore in a 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualifying group match{{cite web|url=http://www.goal.com/en/news/1276/south-east-asia/2009/11/15/1624420/singapore-1-3-thailand-sutee-suksomkit-gives-bryan-robson|title=Singapore 1-3 Thailand: Sutee Suksomkit Gives Bryan Robson Crucial Win - Goal.com|date=14 November 2009|work=goal.com|access-date=4 January 2017|archive-date=4 March 2016|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160304082404/http://www.goal.com/en/news/1276/south-east-asia/2009/11/15/1624420/singapore-1-3-thailand-sutee-suksomkit-gives-bryan-robson|url-status=live}} but then lose to the same opponent back home. Then, two goalless draws with Jordan and Iran in January 2010 and an 0–1 away lost to Iran in March all effectively ended the chance of qualifying for the 2011 AFC Asian Cup. In preparations for the 2010 AFF Championship, Robson led Thailand to victorious run against Singapore and Bob Houghton's India in a series of friendlies. However, when entering the tournament in December, he failed to bring Thailand past group A after managing only draws against Laos and Malaysia and losing to Indonesia. Robson resigned as Thailand's manager on 8 June 2011, citing health problems as the reason and was replaced by Winfried Schäfer, who would be the ninth German person to coach the Thailand team.

The new coach called up starlets for the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers and have the starting set of matches losing minimal to Australia, defeating Oman 3–0 and drawing Saudi Arabia but did not make it after losing to these teams altogether in the second set. In the 2012 AFF Championship, Thailand topped their group and surpassed Malaysia in the semi-finals but handed the crown to Singapore in the finals. In the 2015 Asian Cup qualification, Thailand showed a setback with its defensive frailties exposed by Middle Eastern rivals (Iran, Kuwait, Lebanon) when losing all 6 games in the qualifiers, conceding 21 goals in the process.

In June 2013, Schäfer canceled his contract. The FA of Thailand appointed the former player Kiatisuk Senamuang as the new caretaker coach for the national team. His first ride was a friendly against China PR on 15 June, which Thailand surprisingly won 5–1.{{cite web|url=https://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/3952/asia/2013/06/07/4030661/thailand-appoint-kiatisuk-senamuang-as-new-national-team|title=Thailand appoint Kiatisuk Senamuang as new national team coach|access-date=3 June 2021|archive-date=21 September 2017|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170921045755/http://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/3952/asia/2013/06/07/4030661/thailand-appoint-kiatisuk-senamuang-as-new-national-team|url-status=live}}

In 2014, Thailand ended a 12-year drought of the AFF Championship title from the late goals by Charyl Chappuis and Chanathip Songkrasin which gave them a dramatic 4–3 aggregate victory over Malaysia in the second leg of the finals at Bukit Jalil. The team did not lose any match up until the second leg of the finals and often featured a tiki-taka playing style, for instance including 27 consecutive passes during the first leg of the finals against Malaysia.{{cite news | url=http://www.goal.com/th/news/4280/%E0%B8%9F%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A2/2014/12/17/7170682/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B2%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%87-%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B4-%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A5-27-%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%9E | work=GOAL | location=Bangkok | title=บาร์ซาเข้าสิง! ชมอีกครั้งไทยติกิ-ตาก้าต่อบอล 27 ครั้งสุดเทพ | date=17 December 2014 | access-date=2 August 2015 | archive-date=6 March 2016 | archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160306123736/http://www.goal.com/th/news/4280/%E0%B8%9F%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A5%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A2/2014/12/17/7170682/%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%A3%E0%B9%8C%E0%B8%8B%E0%B8%B2%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%82%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%87-%E0%B8%8A%E0%B8%A1%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%B5%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%87%E0%B9%84%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%A2%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B4%E0%B8%81%E0%B8%B4-%E0%B8%95%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%81%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%B2%E0%B8%95%E0%B9%88%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%9A%E0%B8%AD%E0%B8%A5-27-%E0%B8%84%E0%B8%A3%E0%B8%B1%E0%B9%89%E0%B8%87%E0%B8%AA%E0%B8%B8%E0%B8%94%E0%B9%80%E0%B8%97%E0%B8%9E | url-status=live }} Kiatisuk consequently became the first person to win the ASEAN Football Championship as both a player and a coach. Thailand succeeded in protecting AFF Championship reign two years later in 2016, defeating Indonesia 3–2 aggregately despite losing the first leg.

Since taking over the administration by Somyot Poompanmoung, FA Thailand aims to drive men's national football team to be one of the leading teams in Asia by which there are concrete 20 years development plans and preparations.{{cite news|title=Activities Report 2018 by FA Thailand|url=http://fathailand.org/media/download/cms/media/download-file/sys-e8bbcbac495470a4ad4ad6d88ec0ff14.pdf|access-date=6 February 2020|archive-date=6 February 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200206033048/http://fathailand.org/media/download/cms/media/download-file/sys-e8bbcbac495470a4ad4ad6d88ec0ff14.pdf|url-status=live}} After the elimination from World Cup qualifiers, Kiatisuk resigned and Thailand appointed Milovan Rajevac as a coach, thus marked the first non-Brazilian/German/English team's chief. With the new coach, however, Thailand failed to defend its AFF Championship title in 2018 when losing Malaysia in the semi-finals by the away goals rule.

Ahead of 2019 AFC Asian Cup, Thailand was drawn into group A together with the host UAE, Bahrain and India. Rajevac oversaw Thailand in the commencing 1–4 loss to India. The Serbian coach was sacked and his assistant, Sirisak Yodyardthai became the interim coach on 7 January. Sirisak guided Thailand to a 1–0 win over Bahrain and a 1–1 draw with the host UAE, enough to move on to the knockout stage of the AFC Asian Cup for the first time in 47 years. Their success was greeted with congratulation from the FA.{{cite web|url=https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/news/thailand-make-yodyadthai-proud|title=Thailand make Yodyadthai proud|publisher=Asian Football Confederation|date=15 January 2019|access-date=23 November 2019|archive-date=19 January 2021|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210119192649/https://www.the-afc.com/competitions/afc-asian-cup/news/thailand-make-yodyadthai-proud|url-status=live}} Thailand encountered China in the round of sixteen, taking an early lead but eventually lost 2–1 as China make their decisive respond.

After finishing in the fourth place of 2019 King's Cup and losing the rival Vietnam in that tournament, Sirisak had resigned and FA Thailand appointed the Japanese coach Akira Nishino, who had brought Japan to the round of 16 of 2018 FIFA World Cup, for replacement. This was the first-ever Asian coach becoming Thailand's head coach. The team was drawn into group G of the second round of 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification with other three Southeast Asian rivals: Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia; along with United Arab Emirates. Despite defeating Indonesia 3–0 and UAE 2–1, Thailand failed to revenge Vietnam when getting goalless draws in both legs, while losing Malaysia 1–2 in Bukit Jalil. With these results, Thailand could only get the third place in group G after five qualifying matches. After a one-year disruption due to COVID-19 pandemic, Thailand and other teams in group G had to play their remaining matches in Dubai, UAE. However, the team suffered a huge loss of key players when Chanathip Songkrasin was injured, while Teerasil Dangda and Theerathon Bunmathan refused to participate the qualification due to various reasons. Without these three players, Thailand showed a poor performance in Dubai - drawn the bottom place team Indonesia 2–2, then lost the UAE 1–3 and Malaysia 0–1, respectively; which eventually pushed the team down to the fourth place of the group G. Nishino did not come back to Thailand to explain the team's failure, but unilaterally returning to Japan, which made FA Thailand appoint Anurak Srikerd as the caretaker and consider sacking Nishino in upcoming days. On 29 July 2021, shortly after Nishino came back to Thailand, FA Thailand decided to terminate the contract with Nishino.{{cite web | url-access=limited |archive-url = https://ghostarchive.org/iarchive/facebook/1656982554566879/2840041736260949 |archive-date = 2022-04-30| url = https://www.facebook.com/FootballAssociationOfThailand/posts/2840041736260949 |title = FA Thailand on Facebook |website=Facebook}}{{cbignore}}{{User-generated source|certain=yes|date=March 2022}}

== Fruitful victories under Alexandré Pölking ==

On 28 September 2021, Brazilian Alexandré Pölking was appointed as the head coach of the Thailand national team, replacing Akira Nishino. Pölking's first task was the 2020 AFF Championship in December 2021 held in Singapore.[https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2189155/polking-appointed-as-national-coach Polking appointed as national coach] Between 5 December 2021 and 1 January 2022, Polking accomplished the very task as he managed the War Elephants to win 6–2 on aggregate after being held to a 2–2 second-leg draw by Indonesia, guiding Thailand to win the AFF Championship for the sixth time.[https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2240707/thailand-capture-sixth-suzuki-cup Thailand capture sixth Suzuki Cup] In the 2022 AFF Championship, Thailand defended their title on 16 January 2023, winning the tournament by a 3–2 aggregate score in the two-legged final against Vietnam to secure their seventh title.{{cite news|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football-thailand-retain-aff-championship-after-3-2-aggregate-win-over-vietnam|title=Football: Thailand retain AFF championship after 3–2 aggregate win over Vietnam|work=The Straits Times|access-date=27 May 2023|archive-date=21 January 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230121162336/https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football-thailand-retain-aff-championship-after-3-2-aggregate-win-over-vietnam|url-status=live}}

In October 2023, Thailand embarked on a European tour playing two friendlies against Georgia and Estonia and with star players like Chanathip Songkrasin, Nicholas Mickelson and Ekanit Panya injured and club team refused to release Teerasil Dangda and Theerathon Bunmathan, Supachok Sarachat, Sarach Yooyen, Pansa Hemviboon for international duties, Thailand have to relies on inexperienced international players and also giving the opportunity for new young players a chance to touched up for the future international matches. On 12 October 2023, Thailand suffered their worst defeat in the 21st century losing against Georgia 8–0 at the Mikheil Meskhi Stadium. In the next match against Estonia on 17 October, Jakkapan Praisuwan equalised it for Thailand for a hard fought 1–1 draw at the Lilleküla Stadium.

After a hurried attempt, Japanese manager Masatada Ishii was announced as Thailand's temporarily new head coach, with a contract lasted until the end of the 2023 AFC Asian Cup as he faced a daunting prospect of reviving the lacklustre Thai side to reach continental level.{{cite web | url=https://snesports.co/thailand-appointed-masatada-ishii-to-be-a-new-head-coach/ | title=Thailand appointed Masatada Ishii to be a new head coach | date=22 November 2023 }} His first match, a friendly against his homeland Japan, saw Thailand thrashed 5–0 in the second half after an impressive first half display, increased negative feelings among Thai fans as the War Elephants faced a huge challenge in group F at the Asian Cup, with Saudi Arabia, Kyrgyzstan and Oman on the same boat.{{cite web | url=https://english.kyodonews.net/news/2024/01/70ad04c9472b-football-japan-cruise-to-5-0-friendly-win-over-thailand.html | title=Football: Japan cruise to 5-0 friendly win over Thailand }}

Amidst drop of a huge pessimism, Thailand started their Asian Cup campaign against Kyrgyzstan to a bright note, winning 2–0 to mark Thailand's first win in an Asian Cup opening match.{{cite web | url=https://www.nationthailand.com/lifestyle/sport/40034765 | title=War Elephants triumph in 2023 Asian Cup opener | date=17 January 2024 }} After a 2–0 victory over Kyrgyzstan, Thailand squared up against a far stronger Oman side, which was boosted by bright performances over the past three years and under the Croatian manager Branko Ivanković, an Asian football expert who never lost to Thailand in his coaching career. However, Thailand defied all expectation of an easy Omani triumph, resolutely defended throughout the match and several times created opportunities to end the game with a famous goalless shutout, giving Thailand four points and the country's early progression to the knockout stage.{{cite web | url=https://www.espn.co.uk/football/story/_/id/39355982/thailand-get-point-wanted-oman-prove-enough-asian-cup-knockout-round | title=Thailand get the point they wanted -- but will it prove enough for knockout round? | date=24 January 2024 }} Thailand would then go on to produce its most famous game in their modern Asian Cup history, a brilliant counter-offensive tactic against Asian hegemon Saudi Arabia in the final group stage match, including a famous penalty save by Saranon Anuin as Thailand made a famous goalless draw to the Saudis, ending their losing streak that started in 2012 to the same opponent and, for the first time ever, Thailand gained a shutout record in the Asian Cup group stage.{{cite web | url=https://saudigazette.com.sa/article/639940 | title=Saudi Arabia and Thailand battle to goalless draw in Asian Cup | date=25 January 2024 }} However, Thailand failed to end their miserable knockout stage record in the Asian Cup, losing 2–1 to Uzbekistan in the round of 16 to equal their 2019 result.{{cite web | url=https://sportstar.thehindu.com/football/afc-asian-cup-2023-uzbekistan-beats-thailand-2-1-quarterfinal-against-qatar-uzb-vs-tha-highlights/article67793110.ece | title=AFC Asian Cup: Uzbekistan beats Thailand 2-1, sets up quarterfinal against Qatar | date=30 January 2024 }} Despite this exit, Thailand's bright performance in the tournament earned the team significant praises for their resoluteness and ability to adapt to difficult circumstances, and Masatada Ishii was appointed on a permanent basis, with the aim to help Thailand to qualify for the third round of the 2026 World Cup qualification and the 2027 AFC Asian Cup.

==2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying==

The 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification saw Thailand drawn in group C against South Korea, China and Singapore, with the target to be winning the second place to advance to the final round. However, Thailand would get off to a disastrous start, flopping at home to China 2–1 despite opened the scoring by Sarach Yooyen.{{cite web |date=16 November 2023 |title=Thailand 1 - 2 China PR |url=https://www.fifa.com/en/match-centre/match/520/288263/288267/400017249 |access-date=19 November 2024 |publisher=FIFA}}{{cite web |date=21 November 2023 |title=Singapore 1 - 3 Thailand |url=https://www.fifa.com/en/match-centre/match/520/288263/288267/400017241 |access-date=19 November 2024 |publisher=FIFA}}{{cite news |title=Thailand lose first World Cup qualifier to China |url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2686523/thailand-lose-first-world-cup-qualifier-to-china |newspaper=Bangkok Post|date=16 November 2023 |last1=Rujawongsanti |first1=Wanchai }} This home loss ultimately sealed Pölking's fate, despite a 3–1 away victory over Singapore which moved Thailand up to second place; with the Brazilian sacked for failing to meet expectations.{{cite web |date=21 November 2023 |title=World Cup 2026 qualifiers: Battling Singapore fall 1-3 to clinical Thailand as over 29,000 fans turn up |url=https://sg.news.yahoo.com/world-cup-2026-qualifiers-singapore-1-3-thailand-fans-turn-up-145918617.html}}{{cite web |title=Head-to-head record |url=https://www.kfa.or.kr/archive/national_record.php |publisher=Korea Football Association |access-date=15 October 2024|language=ko}}

After the 2023 AFC Asian Cup, Thailand played two more qualifiers, both against South Korea, in March 2024. On 21 March 2024, Thailand managed to earn a surprise 1–1 draw in front of 64,912 fans in Seoul, but would later lose 3–0 at home to the same opponents.{{cite web |title=Korea Republic 1 - 1 Thailand |url=https://www.fifa.com/en/match-centre/match/520/288263/288267/400017247 |access-date=19 November 2024 |date=21 March 2024}}{{cite web | url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2765639/korea-dominate-thailand-in-3-0-win | title=Korea dominate Thailand in 3-0 win | work=Bangkok Post | date=26 March 2024 }} Thailand would end their qualification campaign in June undefeated, notably with a 1–1 draw away to China, before managing to overcome Singapore 3–1; yet their inability to convert scoring opportunities, as well as giving up a late goal in their draw with China, sealed Thailand's fate. The team did not advance to the next phase and finished behind China based on head-to-head results, as both teams ended with the same goal difference and points total.{{cite web | url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/sports/2806375/thailand-draw-1-1-with-china-in-world-cup-qualifier | title=Thailand draw 1-1 with China in World Cup qualifier | work=Bangkok Post | date=6 June 2024 }}{{cite web | url=https://www.channelnewsasia.com/sport/football-thailand-beat-singapore-world-cup-qualifier-miss-next-round-4401786 | title=Thailand's World Cup dream ends despite beating Singapore 3-1 }}

In older days, the primary kits worn are all red.

Thailand national team used to play with a kit made by local provider FBT. This contract lasted until June 2007.

In July 2007, Nike became kit providers, and from October that year, the team played in an all-yellow home kit in honour of King Bhumibol Adulyadej's 80th birthday (yellow being the royal color), having used two other yellow kits in friendlies against China on 16 May 2007{{cite web|url=http://www.thaifootball.com/tournaments/friendly/china-2007.html|title=Thaifootball.com (Friendly Matches)|access-date=17 June 2017|archive-date=24 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220824190807/http://www.thaifootball.com/tournaments/friendly/china-2007.html|url-status=dead}} and Qatar on 2 July 2007.{{cite web|url=http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/news-photo/thailand-footballers-suree-sukha-and-nirut-surasiang-fight-news-photo/74981919#bangkok-thailand-thailand-footballers-suree-sukha-and-nirut-surasiang-picture-id74981919|title=Thailand footballers Suree Sukha (R) and...

From October 2012 through 2016, Nike was replaced by Grand Sport in a deal worth 96M baht (3.1M USD).{{cite web|url=http://www.aseanfootball.org/?p=10253|title=ASC2012: Thailand Go With Grand Sport - AFF - The Official Website Of The Asean Football Federation AFF – The Official Website Of The Asean Football Federation|website=www.aseanfootball.org|date=19 October 2012 }} The new home kit of Thailand reverted to all-red and the away kit to all-blue. However, the order was reversed from the 2014 AFF Championship onward.

In September 2016, the national team signed a four-year contract with Warrix Sports to be their kit provider from 2017.{{cite news|publisher=Post Publishing PCL.|title=Kirins eye three points from trip to Sukhothai|newspaper=Bangkok Post |date=10 September 2016 |url=http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/1082480/kirins-eye-three-points-from-trip-to-sukhothai|access-date=11 September 2016}} On 4 January 2017, the new provider introduced a new pair of Thailand kits that was all black home and all white away, honouring their late King Bhumibol for a year after his passing, with black and white being the traditional Thai colors of mourning.

In March 2018, Warrix returned Thailand to the all-blue first, all-red second kits with an addition of a white-black third kit.{{cite web|url=https://www.footyheadlines.com/2018/03/thailand-2018-home-and-away-kits.html|title=Thailand 2018 Home and Away Kits Released|website=footyheadlines.com|date=13 March 2018|access-date=11 April 2018|archive-date=20 March 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180320230532/https://www.footyheadlines.com/2018/03/thailand-2018-home-and-away-kits.html|url-status=live}}

In December 2018, a new, darker version of blue, red kits and an all white third kit were presented for the 2019 AFC Asian Cup campaign and the rest of 2019. For the 2019 King's Cup in May, Warrix released the kit consisting of a yellow shirt with white shorts and socks – yellow reportedly being the favorite color of the newly crowned King Maha Vajiralongkorn.[https://www.thairath.co.th/sport/thaifootball/changsuek/2819904 เคยได้แชมป์มาแล้ว เปิดผลงาน "ทีมชาติไทย" ใส่ "ชุดเหลือง" ในคิงส์คัพทุกครั้ง ก่อนบู๊ซีเรีย]

Thailand's greatest rival is Malaysia, the two teams having played each other 107 times. Before Malaysia fell into football scandal that weakened the country's football development from the 1990s to 2018, Malaysia was Thailand's most annoying and difficult opponent in the region. Despite the football scandal, Thailand have not defeated the Malaysians on their home turf since 1971.{{Cite web|url=https://www.11v11.com/teams/thailand/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Malaysia/|title=Thailand national football team: Record v Malaysia|access-date=5 July 2020|archive-date=28 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200628164024/https://www.11v11.com/teams/thailand/tab/opposingTeams/opposition/Malaysia/|url-status=live}} Thailand have better records in international football competitions than the Malaysians.

Indonesia has met Thailand in three finals of the AFF Championship at 2000, 2002 and 2016, and Thailand all triumphed at the expense of Indonesia.{{Cite web|url = https://bola.bisnis.com/read/20181117/398/860826/piala-aff-2018-thailand-vs-indonesia-ini-rekor-pertemuan-berharap-tuah-evans-dimas|title = PIALA AFF 2018: Thailand vs Indonesia, Ini Rekor Pertemuan, Berharap Tuah Evans Dimas | Bola|date = 17 November 2018|access-date = 5 July 2020|archive-date = 28 June 2020|archive-url = https://web.archive.org/web/20200628164027/https://bola.bisnis.com/read/20181117/398/860826/piala-aff-2018-thailand-vs-indonesia-ini-rekor-pertemuan-berharap-tuah-evans-dimas|url-status = live}} It's been said that while Thailand was able to elevate its position to become a more serious Asian competitor, Indonesia fell into mismanagement and matches between two teams also began to lose its importance.

The rivalry between Thailand and Singapore is a newer one and its importance can be emphasized by the domination of both countries in the AFF Championship with Thailand winning five times and Singapore winning four. Up until 2012, Singapore and Thailand have been the more dominant forces in Southeast Asian football.{{Cite web|url=https://www.newmandala.org/soccer-wars-in-southeast-asia/|title=Soccer wars in Southeast Asia|date=16 September 2015|access-date=5 July 2020|archive-date=29 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629233118/https://www.newmandala.org/soccer-wars-in-southeast-asia/|url-status=live}} Football development in both countries have been different with Thailand relies mostly on its own domestically developed players while Singapore has been reliant on naturalized players.

Thailand's rivalry with Vietnam has developed differently from times. During the time of South Vietnam and North Vietnam, Thailand had a poorer performance with the team only won 5 matches against the South Vietnamese. However, when Vietnam rejoined international football at 1991, Thailand has been more dominant than their eastern rival.

When Myanmar was still a football power, it was Thailand's first-ever rival, owned by the history of the Burmese–Siamese wars which led to a nationalist fervor among Thai fans with its desire to beat the Burmese.{{cite web|url=http://www.thebohemianblog.com/2013/01/dark-tourism-temples-of-ayutthaya-thailand.html|title=The Fall of Siam & the Lost Temples of Ayutthaya - The Bohemian Blog|website=www.thebohemianblog.com|date=25 January 2013|access-date=5 July 2020|archive-date=29 June 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200629144208/http://www.thebohemianblog.com/2013/01/dark-tourism-temples-of-ayutthaya-thailand.html|url-status=live}} But with Myanmar weakened following the reign of Ne Win and junta, Thailand improved and since 1983, holds an undefeated streak over its western rival. The rivalry today only serves mostly in the memoir of Burmese fans who are nostalgic to an era when Myanmar was still a leading football power, while for some Thai fans, they have more important opponents to concentrate on.{{cite news|url=https://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/384755/|title=Confident Thailand take on Myanmar|first=Tor|last=Chittinand|location=Naypyidaw|publisher=Bangkok Post Public Company Limited|newspaper=Bangkok Post|date=14 December 2013 }}

Most of Thailand home matches took place in Rajamangala National Stadium in Bang Kapi District of Bangkok. Built for the 1998 Asian Games, the stadium is the largest sporting facility in Thailand with a capacity of 49,749, all seated. International matches are also occasionally played at Supachalasai Stadium, 700th Anniversary Stadium, 80th Birthday Stadium, Thammasat Stadium, Chang Arena, BG Stadium and Thunderdome Stadium.
