Nong Nongdtrongkham clearly states that Muangthong will not disband and points to the decisive day that will determine whether they survive in Thai League 1.
On 2 Feb 2026, in the BYD Sea Lion Six League One football competition for the 2025-26 season, Muangthong United lost 2-3 away to Ratchaburi FC despite taking an early 1-0 lead. This marked Muangthong's fifth consecutive defeat, leaving them second from bottom in the standings and trailing the safety zone by 5 points. Their relegation battle situation is becoming very concerning.
Recently, "Jay Worapat," "Bubble," and "Nong Nongdtrongkham," a group of Thai football experts, analyzed Muangthong's survival chances on the "Clear Rim Sen" program by Thairath Sport. They identified the key turning point as the upcoming match against Lamphun, who rank 13th in the table.
Nong Nongdtrongkham said, “The answer lies on 15 Feb when we face Lamphun. If we win, it will give us the will to fight on. Given the relegation zone situation, Muangthong has no choice but to take all 3 points. At minimum, we need to shake Lamphun. Therefore, this game is extremely important.”
“After that, we'll gain morale before facing the giants and try to hold on.”
Bubble added, “If we lose to Lamphun, I think we’re done for.”
Furthermore, Nong Nongdtrongkham confirmed that Muangthong will neither disband nor move their stadium and expressed confidence that the “Kilen Phayong” will ultimately avoid relegation.
