National Football Team hopes to pass Suzuki Cup qualifying rounds

(KPL) The Lao National team has an ambition to pass the Suzuki Cup 2010 qualifying rounds, scheduled for October 22-30 in Vientiane. The National Football Federation has called 76 players from eight local football clubs and invited three players from Champassak province after their outperformance in the 44th Anniversary of the Lao Sports Day competition held in central Borikhamsay province. However the team hopes that the government would have an English man David Booth to coach its players for the tournament. The National team will be divided into two groups for training and only 30 best players will be selected. The selected footballers will have full training at the National Football Training Centre at Houai Hong in August. The qualifying round of Suzuki Cup is to decide two teams out of five nations namely Cambodia, the Philippines, Brunei, Timor Leste and the Lao PDR. Meanwhile, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Indonesia, Myanmar and Singapore are not required to play in the qualifying rounds as they are stronger than the teams mentioned above.
