Australia and Thailand ban chanting at World Cup qualifier
21 October 2016
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.
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".
The Football Association of Thailand had tried to move the 15 November match, but the Australian side asked for the game to go ahead.
In a statement on its website, Football Federation Australia said banners, flags, and megaphones would be banned and "joyful activities" were "strictly prohibited both inside the stadium and surrounding areas"...
