BG Pathum, Ayutthaya United Fined for Thai League Fan Violence
BG Pathum United and Ayutthaya United were fined a total of 80,000 baht and 30,000 baht respectively after their fans clashed during a Thai League match on October 10. The Disciplinary and Ethics Committee cited object-throwing in the stands and a post‑match assault on Ayutthaya supporters by men in black clothing. Each club received a 30,000‑baht penalty for the thrown objects, with BG Pathum paying an extra 50,000 baht for the attack.
The Disciplinary and Ethics Committee reviewed two incidents from the match. First, in the 55th minute, home and away fans threw objects at each other in the northern stand, where a blue tarpaulin separated the sections; police and security stepped in to prevent escalation. Second, after the final whistle, Ayutthaya United supporters walking toward the parking lot confronted a group of men dressed in black, who assaulted them; eyewitnesses and online footage showed the attackers were located in the BG Pathum section. The committee fined each club 30,000 baht for the object‑throwing violation under rule 3-2-4.4, and additionally fined BG Pathum United 50,000 baht for fan assault under rule 3-2-4.9, which covers violence not resulting in serious injury.
