In the letter, Madam Pang wrote: “On behalf of the Football Association of Thailand, I would like to express my deep regret and sincerest apologies for the unfortunate incident involving the misplacement of the Vietnamese national flag during the draw ceremony for the 2025 AFF U19 Men's Futsal Championship, to be held in Thailand on October 28, 2025."
The head of FAT said she was very sad and regretful about the incident, affirming that this was a mistake that did not reflect the respect and appreciation that the Football Association of Thailand always has for Vietnam as well as other member countries in the region.
“We are fully aware of the seriousness of this mistake and take full responsibility for the negligence that occurred,” Madam Pang stated.
She said FAT had immediately implemented corrective measures, and reviewed and tightened the event organization process to ensure similar incidents would never happen again.
"The Football Association of Thailand would like to send our sincere apologies to the Vietnam Football Federation, the Southeast Asian Football Federation and all relevant parties for this incident," Madam Pang said, expressing her wish to directly apologize to VFF President Tran Quoc Tuan in the near future.
Concluding the letter, Madam Pang affirmed: “The Football Association of Thailand and I personally deeply appreciate your continued understanding and support, and would like to reaffirm our firm commitment to maintaining the highest standards of professionalism and respect in all AFF events hosted by FAT.”
