It is now raining in Thailand, and a massive rainfall has left the playing surface in disarray. The pitch markings were even washed away. With the rain not stopping, the decision was made to cancel the game due to player safety concerns.
The submerged pitch at Thailand’s national stadium was caused by heavy rain. Before the kick-off time was moved back, starting XIs were announced and warm-ups were held. The fixture was then declared completely cancelled.
Tottenham’s next pre-season match is slated on July 26 in Kallang, Singapore, against Lion City Sailors. Ange Postecoglou’s side will then return home to face Shakhtar Donetsk in north London before meeting Barcelona in the Joan Gamper Trophy.
