Thailand urged to upgrade facilities for Asian Cup finals
Bangkok, Oct 18: Thailand was handed a 90-day reprieve yesterday to upgrade its facilities or face being dumped as a co-host for next year's Asian Cup finals.
 
Asian Football Confederation (AFC) secretary-general Peter Velappan said he understood that preparations had been affected by the Kingdom's political crisis and was confident the new military-backed government would support the event.
 
"We appreciate there has been a change of government, we have to accept that," Velappan said, "Thailand must respect this deadline and set things in motion."
 
Thai new interim Prime Minister Surayud Chulanont pledged to give his full support to the tournament at a Cabinet meeting on Tuesday, Thai soccer officials said.
 
Thailand is due to co-host the 2007 Asian Cup with Indonesia, Vietnam and Malaysia from July 7-29.
