Rasi Sai United, Thailand's newest Thai League 1 club, issued a statement apologizing to Port FC and Football Association of Thailand president Nualprann Lamsam after supporters posted insulting comments following their 1-2 home defeat at Buriram City Stadium on September 5, their historic first match in the top division. After the match, Rasi Sai fans posted comments criticizing Port FC's play and referee decisions, with some making harsh remarks toward FA president Lamsam. In their statement, the club expressed deep regret over the inappropriate posts containing vulgar language and criticism beyond reasonable bounds, emphasizing that sportsmanship is more important than anything in football and that friendly competition should unite rather than divide fans. The club acknowledged that technical issues with the VAR system and minor refereeing errors occurred during the match, but both teams ultimately accepted the result in good faith. However, the club stated it could not accept one fan's vulgar attack on Port FC and harsh personal attacks on the FA president, noting such behavior damages the club's image, endangers other fans, and spreads hatred online. The club formally apologized to FA president Nualprann Lamsam, all Port FC supporters, and Rasi Sai fans, calling on the offending supporter to issue a formal public apology and warning of potential disciplinary action if such behavior continues.
