Football Association of Thailand president Worawi Makudi has offered cash incentives to fuel the national team’s desire for a place in the 2011 Asian Cup finals which will be held in Qatar.

“I will give them more cash if they qualify for the Asian Cup finals,” said Worawi.

The Thais are third in Group E of the qualifiers with five points and with two games remaining.

Iran are at the top of the table with seven points, Singapore are in second with six points while next opponents Jordan are at the bottom of the group with four points.

Only the top two teams advance to the 2011 finals.

Thailand’s next match will be against Jordan on 6 January 2010 at the Rajamangala National Stadium before traveling to Iran for their final qualifying match.

Worawi is already set to give 1 million baht (USD30,000) as a morale booster to the team prior to the game against Jordan, where head coach Bryan Robson is looking to win four points from the last two qualifiers.

Thailand warmed up with a 3-0 win over Zimbabwe earlier this week.
