Australia, Thailand ban chanting at WC qualifier


(MENAFN) Football officials from Thailand and Australia have banned chanting at next month's World Cup qualifying match out of respect for the late Thai king.

In detail, football associations in the two countries have also said fans should wear black, grey, or white.

Thais are observing a year-long period of national mourning after the death last week of King Bhumibol Adulyadej, 88, who reigned for 70 years.

People in Thailand have been asked to wear black and avoid "joyful events".
