Pol. Gen. Somyot Poompanmoung, President of FA Thailand
First of all, I would like to thank the members of JFA and President TASHIMA for their cooperation. I think the dispatchment of Ms. Okamoto and Ms. Todoroki is the result of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) between JFA and FA Thailand. We are honoured to welcome two of the top women’s coaches from Japan to lead the Thailand Women's National Team/U-20 Thailand Women's National Team. I am convinced that Ms. Okamoto and Ms. Todoroki's coaching experience with the Japan Women's National Team will not only strengthen the national team players, but also raise the overall level of coaches in Thailand. I believe that this dispatch will further deepen the cooperative relationship between JFA and FA Thailand. In order to raise the level of women's football in Thailand, I will give my utmost efforts to support the local activities conducted by Ms. Okamoto and Ms. Todoroki.
