The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) election is scheduled for this Thursday (Feb 8) at the association’s headquarters in Bangkok, with Nualphan positioned as a frontrunner for the presidency. Her resignation marks a critical moment in her football career, spanning over 16 years, during which she has been a key figure in Thai football.
Reflecting on her tenure that began on August 23, 2021, Nualphan shared her journey and the significant impact managing the national and U23 teams has had on her. Known affectionately as “Madam Pang” among Thais, she recounted the memorable 890 days in the role, discussing the national team’s deep connection to the Thai people and her personal growth through the experience.
As Nualphan steps into the electoral race, she faces competition from four other candidates, namely Komkrit Napalai, Warong Thiuthas, Pauline Ngarmpring, and Tanasak Suraprasert. (NNT)
