Sisaket United Fans Face Stadium Blackout After Upset Win Over Buriram
Visiting fans were left in the dark at Chang Arena following Sisaket United's surprise 3-2 victory over Buriram United.
On October 24, 2026, newly promoted Sisaket United secured a notable 3-2 victory against defending champions Buriram United at Chang Arena, marking the home team's first league defeat of the 2026-27 Thai League 1 season. However, the post-match atmosphere turned controversial when, according to reports from Khaosod Online, the stadium floodlights in the away section were switched off while visiting supporters were still present in the stands.
The incident was highlighted by the 'Sisaket Hardcore' fan page, which shared video footage showing the darkened away section. Fans expressed confusion and frustration, questioning why the lights were extinguished while the stands remained occupied. The incident has sparked discussion among Thai football followers regarding stadium management and the treatment of visiting supporters.
For residents and travelers attending Thai League matches, this event serves as a reminder of the sometimes unpredictable nature of stadium operations. While the match itself was a significant sporting achievement for Sisaket United, the post-game blackout remains a point of contention. It is currently unconfirmed whether the blackout was a deliberate act to encourage fans to leave or a technical error by stadium staff. No official statement has been released by Buriram United or the Thai League regarding the incident.
