Thai Women’s Football Team Adjusts Training Ahead of Asian Games Clash
The Thai women's national football team has shifted training to indoor facilities due to heavy rain as they prepare for their second Asian Games group stage match against Chinese Taipei.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the Thai women's national football team is currently in Japan for the 20th Asian Games. On September 16, 2026, the team held a fitness session at the Tsumagoi Resort Sainosato to maintain their preparation for the upcoming Group E match against Chinese Taipei. The adjustment to indoor training was necessitated by heavy rainfall in the area.
This match is critical for Thailand, as they seek to recover from an opening loss to Japan. Conversely, Chinese Taipei enters the fixture with momentum following their victory over Vietnam. The tournament format requires teams to compete in a round-robin style, with the group winners, runners-up, and the two best third-placed teams across three groups advancing to the knockout stage. Head coach Netipong 'Alfred' Srithong-in is overseeing the squad's tactical and physical readiness.
For residents and travelers in the region, this update highlights the impact of local weather conditions on major sporting events. While the team remains focused on their next performance, the final outcome of the group stage remains to be determined. Fans should monitor official tournament updates for any further schedule changes caused by weather or other logistical factors.
