Thailand braced for challenge in AFF Women's Championship

Palembang: Defending champions Thailand are aiming for a third successive title, but Nuengrutai Srathongvian's side will need to see off a number of worthy contenders at the 2018 AFF Women's Championship in Indonesia.

The favourites

The Chaba Kaew flew to Palembang, Indonesia on Thursday boasting a strong squad which includes AFC Women's Asian Cup stars Kanjana Sung-Ngoen and Suchawadee Nildhamrong, as they look to defend their 2015 and 2016 ASEAN titles.

Head coach Nuengrutai, whose return to the national top job has seen Thailand qualify for a second successive FIFA Women's World Cup, acknowledged her side are among the favourites, but warned against complacency.
