PT Satun FC Fined Following AD Card Oversight
PT Satun FC has been fined 23,000 THB after failing to present player identification cards during a Thai League 2 match against Chiangmai United.
According to a report by Khaosod Online, PT Satun FC was issued a fine of 23,000 THB by the disciplinary committee following a match against Chiangmai United in the BYD Seal Five League 2 on November 8, 2026. The penalty was imposed because 23 players failed to present their official AD Cards to match officials before the game. The club explained that the cards had been left behind at the venue of their previous match against Pluak Daeng United and could not be retrieved in time. To allow the match to proceed, the match commissioner coordinated with the central organizing committee to utilize temporary identification photos and substitute documents for the affected players. While this incident primarily concerns administrative procedures within the Thai football league, it highlights the strict regulatory environment governing professional sports events in Thailand. For residents and visitors interested in local football, such incidents underscore the importance of adherence to official protocols in professional sporting environments. At this time, it remains to be confirmed if the club will appeal the decision or if further administrative measures will be implemented by the league to prevent similar occurrences in future fixtures.
