After a humbling experience at their first ever World Cup appearance four years ago, Thailand are hoping to improve this summer in France.

What is Thailand's history in the FIFA Women's World Cup?

Thailand made their first ever appearance at a FIFA Women's World Cup in 2015 in Canada, and although it was a humbling experience for them as they exited in the group stage, they will be hoping to improve this summer in France. Four years ago, they did manage one win, but it wasn't enough to keep them from crashing out early in a tough quartet. However, they will face a really tough task, as they will take on none other than reigning champions United States, heavyweights Sweden, and Chile in their group.

The Stars and Stripes and Sweden will be tough, but Chile certainly will be the team they will be looking to pick off this summer in France as third place in one's quartet could potentially be enough to make it to the round of 16 depending on how the other third-placed teams rank up by the time the group stages conclude.

Veteran striker Kanjana Sungngoen will be leading the line for Thailand as the underdogs look to pick up all three points against Chile and try to hold their own against the powerhouse duo of Sweden and the United States. Despite her small stature, she is surprisingly strong on the ball and will use her speed to her utmost advantage.

Who is Thailand's coach?

Coach Nuengruethai Sathongwien was responsible for guiding the squad to their first ever appearance at a World Cup four years ago, and led them to their first win - a 3-2 result over Ivory Coast. Although she left the post soon after, she was back on the bench by October 2017 and will be hoping to see them do even better this summer - although the odds will be heavily stacked against them with the USWNT and Sweden also in their quartet.
