Striker Golf Seksakorn Rottee of Port FC has acknowledged the significant pressure of competing in the 2026 ASEAN Championship without several senior teammates. The Thai Football Association announced a 25-player squad for the ASEAN Hyundai Cup 2026, taking place from July 24 to August 26, 2025, under the management of English coach Anthony Hudson. Golf expressed that while the tournament's timing outside the FIFA international window has prevented key senior players like Naathip Sorngkrasinchai and Teerathorn Bunyamatan from joining the team, those who have been selected are determined to perform at their best. "Previously when playing for the national team, we had seniors like Nathip and Um, but this time we don't," Golf stated. "I won't deny the pressure, but this trophy is important. We want to become ASEAN champions and be number one in the region."
