Many familiar faces of this team like Chatmongkol Rueangthanarot Maximilian Steinbauer Bukkoree Lemdee Airfan Doloh Channarong Promsrikaew Yotsakorn Burapha Achitpol Keereerom and Suphanat Mueanta could not concentrate because the club did not release them.

Before sending the team off to Qatar, the President of the Federation group football Thailand Madam Pang admitted to being disappointed that Thailand U23 could not bring the best force to attend the Asian tournament.
Thai female billionaire Lan said: “We highly value the Thai team of all ages, both men’s and women’s teams. Thailand U23 is about to enter an important tournament in Qatar. Because the tournament is not part of the FIFA competition system so we have great difficulty in personnel.
No matter what, we still have to be satisfied and fight with the forces we have. The entire team will compete with the desire for national spirit and be ready to prove themselves. Thank you clubs for your cooperation. We also understand that clubs have their own difficulties when having to participate in other tournaments.”
Facing the shortage of personnel, Madam Pang decided to send national team head coach Masatada Ishii to Qatar to support the team. She said: “I asked coach Masatada Ishii to go with the team. He will be in Qatar. Coach Masatada Ishii will assist in scouting opponents and planning training with coach Sritaro.”
