Three Wild Boars players, who captured the world's attention when they were miraculously rescued from a flooded cave in Thailand last year, will watch India's Asian Cup campaign-opening match against Thailand here Sunday.
The three players and their assistant coach will see the India vs Thailand Group A game at the Al Nahyan Stadium on the invitation of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC).
"Representatives from Wild Boars Football Academy will have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to witness their Thai football idols in the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019. Three Wild Boars players as well as their assistant coach, will see Thailand's opening game against India," the AFC said in a statement.
"There will also be a meet and greet for the group with their national heroes and they will receive a behind-the-scenes stadium tour before experiencing VIP access during what promises to be a decisive contest."
"Now we have an opportunity to continue this remarkable fairy-tale. Football has the power to bring hope and joy to people of all backgrounds and nationalities and the AFC Asian Cup UAE 2019 is the ultimate platform on which to celebrate the unity and diversity of our Continent."
