The Thailand women's national football team (Thai: ฟุตบอลหญิงทีมชาติไทย, RTGS: futbon ying thim chat thai) represents Thailand in women's association football and is run by the Football Association of Thailand. The team won the Asian Cup in 1983 and have qualified for two FIFA Women's World Cups in 2015 and 2019. Their highest ranking in the FIFA Women's World Rankings is 28th, achieved in July 2011 and June 2018.[2][3]

History

[edit]

Early history and an established Southeast Asian powerhouse

[edit]

Thailand women's football was established in the late 1960s and 1970s, but ut it was not until the 1975 AFC Women's Championship that the women's team had their first match. The team has become one of the most powerful football women's teams in Southeast Asia since 1985 along with Vietnam starting in 2001. Thailand cemented its position in Asia by winning gold medals at the 1983, then they cemented its position in their region by winning four AFF Women's Championships in 2011, 2015, 2016, and 2018. Also, in the SEA Games women's level, Thailand also cemented its position, winning gold five times: in 1985, 1995, 1997, 2007, and 2013 editions, during which the men's team also won gold medals.

In spite of being a major powerhouse in Southeast Asian women's football, Thailand has fallen short in continental tournaments like the AFC Women's Asian Cup and Asian Games. Thailand only won it once in 1983 and has since maintained the qualifying streak starting in 2003, and had hosted the competitions twice, first in 1983 and second in 2003, but they did not qualify for the FIFA Women's World Cup tournaments until the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup when they won against arch-rival Vietnam 2–1 in their opponent's turf.

2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup

[edit]

Thailand qualified to the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup by finishing the 2014 AFC Women's Asian Cup in fifth place, defeating hosts and regional rivals Vietnam.[4][5][6]

2015 FIFA Women's World Cup

[edit]

In spite of less investment than the men's team, the Thai women's team made history by becoming the country's first 11-a-side football team of either gender to qualify for a FIFA tournament without hosting one. Because of this, the Football Association of Thailand announced that they will invest more in order to improve the quality of Thai women's football.[7] Thailand were drawn into group B together with title contenders Germany and Norway, as well as the Ivory Coast.[8] Their only win came against the Ivory Coast by a score of 3–2, with two goals from Orathai Srimanee and one goal from Thanatta Chawong, as they finished third in the group and were eliminated as one of the two worst third-placed teams.[9][10]

2019 FIFA Women's World Cup

[edit]

At the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup, Thailand were drawn into Group F, together with the United States, Sweden and Chile. Thailand's impressive showing back in the 2018 AFC Women's Asian Cup, including holding powerhouse Australia 2–2 in the semi-finals, provided the belief that Thailand was capable to compete against stronger forces in the world. Thailand, however, began their opening game with a 13–0 thumping to the US, which was the biggest ever defeat by a Thai team of either gender in an international tournament.[11][12][13] The devastating defeat to the United States severely dented Thai spirits, as they also lost their later matches 5–1 to Sweden and 2–0 to Chile, exiting the tournament without scoring a point, became the worst performed team ever in FIFA Women's World Cup history.[14][15]

2023 FIFA Women's World Cup Qualifications

[edit]

At the 2022 AFC Women's Asian Cup, Thailand were drawn into Group B, and they lost in the quarter-finals and lost to Vietnam 0–2 and Chinese Taipei 0–3. The Thai advanced to the playoff round, and they eventually lost 0–2 to Cameroon. This defeated officially knocked Thailand out of the 2023 World Cup for the first time since the 2011 edition.[16]
