BRIEF-Soccer-European trio to contest Thai tournament
BANGKOK, Nov 4 (Reuters) - Sweden, Poland and Denmark will play in next year’s King’s Cup tournament with hosts Thailand, a local newspaper reported on Wednesday.
The four countries will contest the annual round-robin tournament in the northeastern Thai city of Nakhon Ratchasima from Jan. 17-23, the Bangkok Post quoted Thai soccer federation president, Worawi Makudi, as saying.
