On February 9, 2026, at 3:00 PM at the FA Thailand futsal field, the Thai national women's futsal team continued training in preparation for the Asean Women's Futsal Championship 2026, to be held at Terminal Hall, Terminal 21 Shopping Center in Nakhon Ratchasima province. In this training session, Coach 'O' Thanathon Santanaprasit, head coach, led the team in intensive practice, focusing on team dynamics in both defensive and offensive gameplay and tactical details, which took 2 hours. After training, Thanyakorn Kanya, a wing player from Kasem Bundit FC, said, "I'm adapting better than the first round, understanding the game more. I've improved in terms of alertness and handling pressure better. This time, I'm trying to show my shooting skills to Coach O. My main goal is to be selected for the competition." Her twin sister Thannakul Kanya, also a wing player from Kasem Bundit FC, added, "The first training was still nerve-wracking, but after a week, I'm adjusting. Training is getting more intensive each time. This is my first team camp, and I'm excited. I'm trying to play defense as Coach O instructed." The twins' family was thrilled that both were selected for the national team, marking their first simultaneous selection. The team will continue training until February 21, 2026, with the final 14-player roster to be announced before traveling to Nakhon Ratchasima on February 22.
