"World Mask" explains the trend of folding the copyright purchase plan "World Cup 2026" because the price is high-explanatory to the public, compared to foreign countries, 10-20 times more expensive. If the price is unfair, you have to save money to do something else.

On May 19, 69, at 9: 40 a.m., at the Government House, Ms. Suebamas Iaryaly, the Minister of the Prime Minister's Office, mentioned the news of the government preparing to retreat the 2026 World Cup copyright purchase between June 11 and July 19, hosted by the United States, Canada and Mexico, that, as you know, the Prime Minister is very happy to wish Thais happiness and to watch the World Cup during the next month, last week at a Cabinet meeting. It was decided that the Department of Public Information would talk to the public sector and the private sector, including the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NTC) for support in the previous round, but after talking that the situation was not the same because of the war in the Middle East. At the same time, the live broadcast time was not the same, so the likelihood of selling more products in restaurants may not be much.

As for the price of the royalties offered for Thailand, Miss Suebamas said that it cannot be disclosed because it is a regulation of the International Football Federation or FIFA, but it is a price that can not be explained to the citizens because Thailand has nearly 70 million people, while other countries have 1,500 million people, 20 times more than Thailand, but the royalties are a little cheaper than Thailand, which is about 10-20 times different. Therefore, the government foresees that Thailand is currently facing economic problems, and the abdomen of the people is important, but the numbers are relatively high. At the same time, there are no private sponsors. Sir, like before, because the time of transmission is not appropriate, including the sale of advertising is not the same as before, in the past, more difficult to sell.

Ms. Summas added that four years ago, we had one NTC and one private money to support, but there was no private support around here, so he, as the supervisor of the public relations department, would bring information to the Cabinet meeting to ask for an opinion on how to proceed.

There are other channels for Thai people to watch the World Cup. Miss Suebamas says that it is currently investigating FIFA because there is a news stream that FIFA has a paid channel and that people may be able to watch or some matches that may be broadcast for 5 to 10 minutes.

Can the public paraphrase that the government is not going to move on with the purchase of World Cup copyright? Ms. Summas said that it is still time to see if any private individuals may see a business opportunity.

There is a chance that the copyright owner will lower the price. Miss Supamas said, it will have to wait, but the numbers offered will explain to the public, and if it is not a fair price, it will be necessary to save money for other things.

Is the royalty figure in line with the previous news? Miss Supamas said that she was not the speaker and did not know where the news came from.

As for whether the government has now folded the project at all, Ms. Suebamas said that the World Cup would like to support it because it is about cultivating youth, but there are many channels to support football in Thailand, and this investment may not be worth it at this time, so it must be looked at on a case-by-case basis, reiterating that after this, wait for the results of the Cabinet meeting, which is expected to be another press conference.
