(FASTNEWS|COLOMBO) – Thailand has granted citizenship to the Coach and three members of a football team dramatically rescued from a flooded cave last month.
During their ordeal, it emerged that the boys and their Coach were among around 480,000 stateless people living in the South-East Asian country.
It prompted calls to fast-track their citizenship applications.
The four were part of a 13-strong team, known as the Wild Boars, who became trapped deep in a cave on 23 June.
