Chelsea and Man Utd Tours maybe in jeopardy

Chelsea and Manchester United’s tour of Thailand could be plunged into chaos as a result of a lower division Thai team.

It has emerged that Pattaya FC won an injuction that prevented a vote of the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) taking place at the weekend. The vote was on bringing the FAT rules in line with FIFA requirements.

FIFA has not taken kindly to this and has warned the FAT that they risk being excluded from international competition should a resolution not be reached by early next week.

Chelsea are scheduled to play the Singha All-Star XI in the Singha Cup on Wednesday July 17 at the Rajamangala National Stadium in Bangkok and Manchester United will play the same team on the 13th of July.

It seems unlikely that FAT and sponsors Singha will allow the tours to be cancelled and the teams have not yet announced any changes to the tours.
