The Bangkok Futsal Arena is not ready to host the 2012 Futsal World Cup, Fifa said on its website on Tuesday.

The decision was taken after a thorough evaluation by a Fifa inspection group, including safety and security experts, at the the stadium site in Nong Chok district.

Thailand planned to use the 1.2 billion baht stadium stadium to host the quarter-final rounds on Nov 14, the semi-final rounds on Nov 16 and the final on Nov 18.

What a shame. Once again the cream of Thailand comes to the top. It is too bad that a legitimate audit cannot take place. How was the 1.2 billion Baht spent and on who?

The world is watching, as Thailand loses faith, time and again. Set an example - don't pay the contractor.
