[FUTSAL] Big names Brazil, Japan and the USA will join Thailand in a friendly futsal tournament at Nimibutr National Stadium from November 19-22.

The event will serve as a warm up for the Thai team for next year's Futsal World Cup.

Futsal became popular in Thailand following the national team's impressive performance at the KL Four-Nation tournament in Malaysia last year, which saw its Asian ranking jump to third behind Iran and
Japan.

"We have invited Brazil and Japan, and since Italy has declined their invitation, we have called in another world-class team - the USA,'' said Adisak Benjasiriwan, president of the Futsal Development Association of the Football Association of Thailand "This will be a great chance for the Thai fans to witness top-quality futsal right in their own backyard," he added.
