Southeast Asian football has recently witnessed the advancement of the Indonesian national team, when the island team became the only representative of the region to participate in the third qualifying round of the 2026 World Cup. Meanwhile, Thailand really wants to become regain the top position and be ready to follow the path of naturalization to strengthen your strength.
One of the talents of Thai blood that the country’s Football Federation (FAT) has put on its radar is Jude Soonsup Bell. Notably, in a recent conversation with YouTube channel Taengmo Long Piyapong Ying, the young striker on the Tottenham Hotspur payroll spoke up about the possibility of joining War Elephants: “My family is from Thailand, seeing me play for the Thai national team would be great.
But I live in Europe, grew up in Europe and it’s great to play for England. Now I’m on vacation. It’s my joy with my family, I will experience life here.
“I think there is a possibility that I will play for the Thai national team in the future. But right now I’m focusing on doing well for the club. Let’s wait and see, maybe in the future. But for now, enjoy the present“.
It will not be easy for Bell to be part of the England team, even at the youth level. Therefore, it is likely that the 20-year-old striker will choose to play for the Thai national team in the future.
