Fifa has threatened to end Thailand's broadcasting of World Cup 2022 final matches if the kingdom fails to meet its standard encryption of broadcasting signals.
The Sports Authority of Thailand (SAT) has notified the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission (NBTC) about Fifa's warning that Thailand's transmission access was also being used in other countries.
The warning coincided with the release of a photo showing World Cup fans in Laos cheering their favourite teams on a TV screen. This is despite the fact Laos does not hold the right to broadcast any of the games.
SAT's governor has asked the NBTC to ensure all parties strictly follow Fifa's broadcasting transmission encryption standard.
Fifa has asked the SAT to strictly encrypt its over-the-air transmissions.
If not, Thailand will forfeit its World Cup broadcasting rights.
