ASEAN Player Quota in Thai League by Football Tribe Thailand

by Jedsada Chanapinijwong, the deputy editor of Football Tribe Thailand

Hi, Tribe. It’s me, Jed from tribe Thai edition. Long time no see! 

We are gonna talk about Thai league this season to update how everything is going after we go near the half-way of the competition. 

This season Thai league implemented a quota for ASEAN players so we can see many super stars in ASEAN coming to Thai league - everyone in these countries know players such as Aung Thu, Terens Puhiri, Kyaw Ko Ko or Mark Hartmann who have come to Thailand.

But some teams in Thai league think this quota is unnecessary for them. After Muangthong signed the contract with Baihakki Khaizan, they just sent him to Udon Thani in Thai league 3; Buriram terminated Hong Wu Samson's contract and sent him back to V league.

It looks like only Aung Thu is doing very well at Police Tero after netting 8 goals and make a lot of Myanmar fans come to the stadium to watch him play. His Burmese teammate Kyaw Ko Ko is having a difficult time though as he got an injury, which technically ended his season; another Myanmar player Nanda Lin Kyaw Chit played only 4 minutes for PT Prachuap FC.

Close to the mid-season, this quota is yet to impress the fan and the club. The question is if Thai clubs need ASEAN players quota - and if this quota will survive.

The Day Malaysian Boys Made History in China by Football Tribe Malaysia

by Keeshannan Sundaresan, Chief Editor of Football Tribe Malaysia Credit: AFC It was surreal. One day before a massive, massive decider against Saudi Arabia, Malaysian U-23 boss, Datuk Ong Kim Swee universally declared his intention to attack their opponents and go for a win. Best part? His statement was in response to Vietnam’s 1-0 win over Australia, which was yielded through a complete smash and grab performance. I clearly remember talking to a few friends and going: “Is he for real? Did he just say Vietnam’s win didn’t mean much because they were conservative on the pitch? Did he say that just one day before a cruncher against the mighty Saudis?” Malaysian football’s battle with inferiority complex has been ongoing for the last two decades or so, which if there are any individuals who have stood up against it, it’s Datuk Ong Kim Swee. From his mind-blowing team talk at the the 2011 SEA Games to all the young talents that have been moulded under him, Ong ha

I Couldn’t Ask for More! by Football Tribe Arabia

by Assi Alghazali ,  chief editor of Football Tribe Arabia When I think about football, I can’t help myself remembering when my love for the game started: r unning from home without doing my homework so I can play football with the kids from our neighbor in the empty, long, red-soiled fields!! We didn’t go back home until the sun was completely gone and there was no way to see the ball! With full of dust and maybe holes in our pants, going home was scary! (Moms like to yell in my country! lol) But still, we would go play every day! I started working here very lately! So I’m still very fresh (laugh) I liked the name (Football Tribe) and I wanted to know more about it, after I started working with these amazing guys I couldn’t help myself noticing that it’s not a tribe, No, It’s a world! A lot of people from around the world are connected together, talking discussing, laughing together every day to make the best content that you see on our website

"Taijin No Sato" by Football Tribe Thailand

by Jedsada Chanapinijwong, the deputy editor of Football Tribe Thailand First I have to say arigatou gozaimasu to you all. Why I have to say "Thank you" in Japanese? Because nowadays, Thai football fans give and attention to Japanese fiitball! Yes I mean J League, the strongest league in Asia. After Chanathip Songkrasin became the pioneer who landed in J League last season, this year Teerasil Dangda and Theerathon bunmathan also joined J League, which has made Thai fans more interesed in Japan football. Theerathon Bunmathan with his new nickname “Boonjung” played for Vissel Kobe against Sagan Tosu but he started only on the bench. Then Takayuki Yoshida gave him a sign to be ready to step on the pitch with 15 minutes left and he showed his dynamics and confidence. On Saturday, these Thai players faced each other as Sanferse Hiroshima of Teerasil Dangda play against Consadole sapporo of Chanathip Songkrasin. In Thailand, people in Bangkok wi
