The Kings Cup is currently underway in Buriram, being played at the Chang Arena, home of Buriram United. Organized by the by Football Association of Thailand four teams, India, Vietnam and Curacao join the hosts Thailand. Two games have already been played on the 5th June and disappointingly the hosts were knocked out against Vietnam who scored…
A Supachok double was not enough to give Buriram an opening day victory over Chonburi who finished the game with 9 men. Two errors by Tunez gifted the visitors a point , though it has to be said that that Buriram were far from convincing. The first-half was fairly uneventful with Supachai wasting Buriram’s best…

Buriram United’s Sasalak Haiprakhon feels honoured to be part of the 23-player final cut for the upcoming Asian Cup, due to begin in the United Arab Emirates next Saturday.

Mistakes at both ends saw Buriram hand an undeserved victory to Chiang Rai who once again showed they were quite prepared to use any means necessary to win the game. This ranged from foul play to play acting which makes it extremely difficult to congratulate them on their victory. Hat-trick “hero” Bill was one of…
For the second year in a row, Buriram set a new record for points in a season in Thai League 1. This latest win took them 16 points ahead of their nearest rivals Bangkok United, 26 points ahead of third-placed Thai Port and 28 points ahead of bitter rivals Muang Thong. This makes great reading…

Buriram’s last home game of the season saw them overcome a game Pattaya side in a match that was much closer than the 3-0 scoreline suggests.

Buriram booked their place in the FA Cup Final against Chiang Rai but Sisaket gave them plenty to think about, particularly in the first-half. Soukaphone’s thunderous strike has to be a major contender for goal of the season. I’m sure Siwarak will have watched a replay because he certainly didn’t see it last night !…

Diogo scored his 30th league goal…

Despite having plenty of possession, Buriram failed to put their opponents under any real pressure, seemingly content to knock the ball about and wait for something to happen. It was almost like watching a practice…
