U19 Thailand struggled to defeat U19 Singapore
U19 Thailand won 2-1 against U19 Singapore in the U19 Southeast Asian tournament on the evening of July 19.
U19 Thailand is considered the strongest in Group C of the 2024 Southeast Asian U19 tournament, in the same group with opponents U19 Malaysia, U19 Singapore and U19 Brunei.
In the opening match on the evening of July 19, the team from the land of the golden pagodas faced U19 Singapore. Although rated higher, U19 Thailand showed an unconvincing performance in the first half. The coordination lacked innovation and was also not sharp.
Picknes Lahawiwat with an accurate shot defeated the Singapore U19 goalkeeper in a face-to-face encounter, bringing a 2-1 victory to Thailand U19.
In the second match on July 22, U19 Thailand will only have to face U19 Brunei before meeting U19 Malaysia (July 25), the match considered the "final" of group C.
AFC increases foreign player registration quota, Nam Dinh and Thanh Hoa benefit
From the 2024/25 season, V.League representatives participating in the AFC/AFF arena will be allowed to register a maximum of 5 foreign players.
On the afternoon of July 19, at the VFF headquarters, the 6th Executive Committee Meeting of the Vietnam Football Federation, term IX (term 2022-2026) took place.
Accordingly, the executive committee has agreed on the number of foreign players registered from the 2024/25 season. Vietnamese teams participating in AFF/AFC tournaments will be allowed to register a maximum of 5 foreign players instead of 4 as before. However, it should be noted that clubs are only allowed to register a maximum of 3 players in a match.
The reason for this change is that the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has applied the regulation of not limiting foreign players from the 2024 - 2025 season. In addition, the Southeast Asian Football Federation (AFF) is also currently applying the 6+1 regulation (6 foreign players and 1 Asian player).
These are adjustments that benefit the two clubs Thanh Hoa and Nam Dinh. In which, Nam Dinh participates in AFC Champions League 2 as the champion of V.League 2024/2025, and Thanh Hoa participates in the tournament as the champion of Vietnam National Cup.
