Nakhon Sawan MP Pinyo Niroj is a former FAT vice president. Incumbent Somyot Poompunmuang and Nakhon Sawan MP Pinyo Niroj will battle it out in today's election for the Football Association of Thailand (FAT) president after the Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) ruled yesterday that Worawi Makudi is ineligible to contest the poll. Pol Gen Somyot, who is seeking his second four-year term as FAT president, is seen as heavy favourite against Pinyo, a member of the ruling Palang Pracharat Party. Somyot, 65, took over as the FAT president in 2016 following a landslide election win. Pinyo, who once was an FAT vice president in the Worawi administration, has vowed to make Thailand the kings of Southeast Asian football again if elected.
