‘Big Odd’ urges to find the national training center Fearful, if slow, boast FIFA 60 million support
According to the Football Association of Thailand There is a construction project for the National Football Training Center. The King Power Group helped support a budget of 500 million baht. However, even though I had planned more than a year, now I still cannot find the area. In which the target area is At the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT), Muak Lek District, Saraburi Province, but stuck in a problem Can not deliver as required Without the right to use, of course.
“Big Aod” Maj. Gen. Somyot Poompanmuang The president of the Football Association said that by now admitted. There is not much progress. Because there is still no area to be constructed And still in the process of negotiations In the past, the association had tried all the time, either at Muak Lek or Kasetsart University, Kamphaeng Saen Province, Nakhon Pathom Province, but there was a problem. The association coordinates with wherever we think is appropriate. Both from requesting donations And willing to rent with a long-term contract
Maj. Gen. Somyot mentioned the news that he would move to the construction in Cha-Am District, Phetchaburi Province, that it was now just contact an approach. Knowing that Cha-am Municipality Have a project to rent a large area The association will share the rent. So I have to wait for that Cha-am Municipality When will you rent the piece? If it is a tourist attraction, it will be very good. At this center, the main destination is Keep the Thai national team But during the absence of the national team, it will adjust to a resort for tourists to stay. Because you have to earn money Not build and let go
“I said I have to try to build it. Because the International Football Federation (FIFA) will have funding for the infrastructure category. To the football association of each country But if it’s too late, I don’t know if this part of the budget will still be there or not. Which previously The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has a budget for various football associations. In the infrastructure category as well, 1 million US dollars (about 30 million baht), but when the COVID-19 outbreak, the AFC cut this part. In order to proceed to the affected part “
Prime Minister of Thai cinema said that Then money from AFC The country that had already been gone But when COVID-19 outbreaks, countries that have not yet proposed the program. Including Thailand, we are not The same is true for FIFA money. We don’t know when and when we will cut our funding for infrastructure. And he cut his budget It will not have the support of FIFA.
Mr. Patit Supapong, Secretary General of the Football Association Added that FIFA will have a budget for infrastructure development. About football for member states of US $ 2 million (about 60 million baht) per circle for four years, which the Thai Football Association disburses the first round of budget to create a football potential development center at Bangkok Thonburi University Which is now in the second round of the budget The association must have a project to be submitted and to be approved by the board. To see what to do Maybe not just a training center
“FIFA has given us an idea of what it can do. However, it is important to have land. In the beginning what to do Which is now in the second circle, which is close to the end of the cycle He asked to use which part or not. If we do not use Will have the right to cut the funding of this round, “said Mr. Patit at the end
