Futsal heroes left shortchanged by FAT

The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) has not paid out any sort of bonus to the Thai players who won the AFF Futsal Championship last Sunday.

It was instead left to Thailand’s coach Vic Hermans who took it upon himself to reward each player with THB2000 out of his own pocket after his side beat Australia 2-1 in the final in Bangkok.

“It’s true that only the coach has given us money,” said defender Jirawat Sonvichian “But we do not complain [about the FAT not giving them rewards] because we are used to this.”

Jirawat added that he believes the FAT did not reward the players because Worawi Makudi’s win in the FAT presidential election has not yet been approved, reported the Bangkok Post.
