Thai films on the global crisis – The year 2020 marks the year that all countries around the world have been hard hit by the COVID-19 epidemic. Regardless of the sector, they are all hit by the tails of each other. It depends on who is hurt, how much.
The football industry in Thailand is hit by the trick of a terrible disease. Because he only opened the head of the top football league for only 4 matches, everything had to stop When the government has released urgent measures By allowing government agencies And other government agencies Requesting cooperation from all sectors To avoid Or postpone an event with a large number of public gatherings, whether it be a sporting event, a concert or a entertainment event
As a result, the postponement of the match affected Thai football heavily. Originally scheduled to close for the 2020 season at the end of November. Everything has changed. At the club meeting, members agreed that the fifth match kicked off at the end of October. Along with extending the opening of the season from the end of the year to become a professional football league that plays over the years like many leagues in Europe Which the meeting gave the main reason is to avoid the rainy season in itself
The decision to postpone the live broadcast rights owner TrueVisions would not agree. Since this year will be the last year that True Will have the right to broadcast live And has planned other live broadcasts In the next year already So want to finish the original program When the program does not meet True then makes the claim that the Football Association of Thailand breaches the contract and therefore does not pay the remaining 800 million baht license fees.
When there is no money, football association lacks liquidity, spreading to the payment of support for member clubs. With the highest league up to 20 million baht per team, but this year there is no way to get money here to manage the team because the football association has no money Those big teams, money bags, buckets are certainly not fun. But with a small team At the Thai League 2 or Thai League 3, the disappearance of the seed here resulted Hit hard Even if it is only a few million baht But extremely important to the survival of the team
Effects of the Association’s lack of funds The ball also resulted in the decision not to use video-assisted technology (VAR) that it officially announced it would use this year. As the cost of using VAR each match is up to 82,000 baht per match, the decision not to use VAR has made a lot of dissatisfaction with the members of the club because in the past all clubs have never trusted the decisions of the Thai Football Referees. Therefore join the hunt for a list of calls for use of VAR Even if the club may have to pay themselves.
The story of VAR escalated to a large extent. “Madam Pang” Nuaphan Lamsam Chairman of the FC Port Authority even paid 16 million baht for Muang Thai Insurance to use VAR in trouble. “Big Aod” Pol. Maj. Gen. Somyot Purple bush The prime minister of Thai cinema has to come out and confirm that he will return to use VAR every match on the top league. In which the association will provide the money by itself, the 16 million part of Muang Thai Insurance Will be used to manage the national women’s football team While VAR, although actually used in the Thai League Not everything will be smooth. Because there are frequent breakdowns While the VAR referee did not dare to make any decisions on the pitch, the club’s members were frequently complaining.
Another event that is considered to be one that is very rare and believes that Thai football fans will remember that event very well, that is, the transformer Pat Stadium explosion, the power outage, cannot compete. The first took place late in the game, the Port Authority match was tied with Police Tero for an hour. Finally, the Port Authority was fined 0-2 and fined another hundred thousand. The time happened to the next home game of Singha Harbor immediately That is the game that will be played against SCG Muang Thong United, it appears that the same happened when the transformer exploded about 30 minutes before the match, this time the match had to be canceled. By the port being judged That it was wrong and lost 0-2, still good to be able to submit an appeal through a new race before opening a nest to beat the piran 2-0
COVID-19 situation The whole world is still in crisis. While Thailand pretends to have no problems, the second outbreak has been found. There are many infected and spread. To almost every region Intensive support measures are needed, although at this time it will not have much impact on Thai football as it is still open to fans to watch the game up to 50 percent of the stadium capacity. But even now, you still can’t take anything. I don’t know what kind of measures will the final government take. I can only hope that Thai football and this crisis will go well.
