Ten Thai Football Clubs Fined for FA Cup Uniform Violations
The Thai FA disciplinary committee has fined ten football clubs for failing to display the official tournament patch during the Chang FA Cup round of 64.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, the Disciplinary and Manners Committee of the Thai Football Association has issued fines to ten clubs following the Chang FA Cup round of 64 matches. During the 2026-27 season meeting chaired by Watcharin Phanurat, it was determined that these clubs failed to permanently affix the official tournament patch to their players' uniforms as required by competition regulations.
Each of the ten clubs, including Sisaket United, Burapha United, Rasisalai United, Nongbua Pitchaya FC, FC Yala, Pattaya United, Banbueng FC, and VRN, has been ordered to pay a fine of 3,333 Thai Baht. The committee emphasized that the patch must remain visible and intact throughout the duration of the match to comply with established standards.
For residents and football enthusiasts in Thailand, this incident highlights the strict enforcement of administrative regulations within the domestic league. While this is a minor disciplinary matter, it underscores the professional standards expected of clubs participating in national tournaments. At this time, it remains to be confirmed whether the clubs have already settled these fines or if they intend to appeal the committee's decision. Fans attending future matches should note that such regulatory oversight is part of the ongoing efforts to maintain uniformity and professional presentation across all Thai football competitions.
