Thailand to play Netherlands


Thailand will play the Netherlands here in June as a warm-up for the Asian Cup, the country's football association said Friday.

"We think that it's a good opportunity to warm up our team before we host the Asian Cup in July," said Chaipak Siriwat, chairman of the association.

No exact date was given but Chaipak said the match would take place in early June.

Thailand are co-hosts of the July 7-29 tournament along with Vietnam, Indonesia and Malaysia.
