Pattani FC Secures Historic First Point in Thai League 1 Debut
Newly promoted Pattani FC earned their first-ever point in Thailand's top-flight football league after a 0-0 draw against BG Pathum United.
On September 4, 2026, Pattani FC marked a historic milestone in their club history by securing their first point in the Thai League 1. Playing their season opener at Tinsulanon Stadium in Songkhla, the newly promoted side held the formidable BG Pathum United to a 0-0 draw.
According to Khaosod Online Thailand, the match drew significant attention from local supporters, with over 17,000 fans filling the stadium to witness the 'Langkasuka Cannons' compete at the highest level of domestic football. The game was described as a closely contested affair, with both teams creating scoring opportunities throughout the match, though neither side was able to break the deadlock.
For residents and visitors in the southern region, this result highlights the growing enthusiasm for top-tier football outside of the capital. The high attendance figures suggest that future matches held at Tinsulanon Stadium may attract large crowds, which could impact local traffic and accommodation availability in Songkhla on match days.
While this draw provides a morale boost for the newcomers, it remains to be confirmed how Pattani FC will perform as the 2026-27 season progresses and whether they will continue to utilize Tinsulanon Stadium as their temporary home venue for the remainder of the campaign.
