Close-up of the football team’s meal at SEA Games 31: No lunch box

Recently female team leader Nualphan Lamsam of the Thailand U.23 team commented: “I heard a quick report from a member of the coaching staff, everything is absolutely fine. The host country Vietnam has organized the stages perfectly, and put the team at ease. Therefore, I can rest assured and from now on I will cheer the team as comfortably as possible towards the goal of winning the 31st SEA Games gold medal. When I arrived at the place, I witnessed the atmosphere with my own eyes. Soccer in Nam Dinh. You guys are doing a great job.”

To facilitate the teams in terms of accommodation, Phu-Tho and Nam Dinh chose 5 star hotels. The nutrition for the teams is also very good. Even Muslim teams can have a suitable diet while still being physically fit to compete.

According to an official Local Organizing Committee: “We arrange for the teams to eat buffet all meals of the day. Food quantity, abundant food supply, food safety and hygiene. We will make every effort to avoid food poisoning. Teams eat together in the hotel’s large dining room, but are divided into areas. The organizing committee must meet many tasks, the quality of accommodation, the quality of the training ground and the competition; meal quality and COVID-19 prevention.

When we saw the teams eating delicious food, we were very happy. Still asking each team every day if any adjustments need to be made so that the kitchen can respond promptly. In addition, we also arrange prayer houses for teams who want to pray every day.”

In AFF Cup 2020the teams all had to eat boxed lunches and this used to make the coach Park Hang-seo along with many other teams in the region are not happy.
