AFC Asian Cup 2027 Qualifiers: Sri Lanka face Thailand today

The Sri Lankan national team, also known as the Golden Army, is hoping to build on the momentum from their recent 2-1 victory over Laos on 20 March, which marked their first international friendly win in 22 years. Wade Dekker and Adhavan Rajamohan were the goal scorers in that historic win.

This upcoming match will be a tough challenge for Sri Lanka, who are ranked 200th in the FIFA Men’s rankings, compared to Thailand's 97th spot. The two teams previously met in 2022 during the 2023 AFC Asian Cup Qualifiers, where Sri Lanka suffered a 2-0 defeat. However, with a rejuvenated squad and the confidence from their recent victory, Sri Lanka will look to put up a strong fight against the Southeast Asian giants.

For Sri Lanka, this match will test their grit and team spirit, as they aim to overcome the odds and make an impact in the highly competitive qualifiers. The clash promises to be an exciting encounter, as the underdog visitors aim to prove their mettle against one of Asia's top footballing nations.

Fans across the island are hoping the Golden Army can create an upset and bring pride to the nation with a strong performance in Bangkok.
