BANGKOK (AP) — Thailand’s military junta, which promised to “return happiness to the people” after last month’s coup, asked regulatory officials on Wednesday to find a way to allow the country’s many soccer fans to watch the entire World Cup for free.

The junta contacted the chairman of the National Broadcasting and Telecommunications Commission, the country’s broadcast regulator, and asked him “to seek ways to return happiness to the people through viewing all of the 64 World Cup matches on free-to-air channels,” NBTC secretary-general Takorn Tanthasit told a news conference.
