Thai Fa Investigated, Face Possible Disbandment

Featured Replies

BANGKOK - Thailand's Football Association could be forced to disband following allegations of corruption, a government spokesperson investigating the association said on Friday.

The Football Association of Thailand (FAT) is under investigation by a house corruption committee for tax-evasion and for setting up the Thai Premier League as a profit-making arm of the group, said Supachai Chaisamut, a spokesperson for a house anti-corruption committee investigating the group.

Worawi Makudi, the FAT's president and a FIFA executive member since 1997, appeared before the committee on Thursday to give his explanations on financial transactions currently under investigation by the panel.

"If FAT is found to have deliberately set up Thai Premier League for profit-making purposes the Thai Revenue Department will follow up the case. The FAT will then have a duty to withdraw the name of the football association, disband and set-up again," Supachai Chaisamut, spokesperson for the House committee on corruption, told Reuters.

Worawi said he was in discussion with his lawyers and would respond to the allegations at a news conference next week.

This is not the first time the FAT president and FIFA executive committee member has been accused of corruption.

Very true , aka Englands world cup bid.

This topic will be deleted pretty quick.

Wasn't he fired then given 2 weeks to present his case as to why he wouldn't accept being fired?
