Buriram United is moving into the critical stretch of the season with the goal of making history once again. Newin Chidchob, the club chairman, has stepped forward to motivate both players and fans ahead of their away game against Ratchaburi FC, stressing that this match "must be won" to immediately secure their 11th Thai League title.
On 4 April 2026, Newin stated that the team's journey to this point has not been easy. It is the result of support from loyal and casual fans alike, as well as the cooperation of everyone within the club, which has helped Buriram United rise to become one of the historic teams in Thai football.
Although traveling to face Ratchaburi FC will not be easy, the "Thunder Castle" team has already overcome tough challenges several times this season. This match will be another crucial test; a victory will immediately guarantee the championship and set a record by clinching the title with five matches remaining.
Additionally, an important fixture awaits in the Thai League Cup semifinals against BG Pathum United. The club aims to win this tournament for the ninth time, celebrating alongside the league championship as they did last season.
Meanwhile, the bigger goal does not stop there. Buriram United is preparing to compete in the Asian Club Championship quarterfinals in Saudi Arabia. Newin emphasized that the team’s long-term objective is to become one of Asia’s top five clubs, and this year they believe they are closer than ever to achieving that.
“This year, we must win four titles and reach the Asian semifinals,” Newin concluded, calling on fans to rally their support to help the team reach these goals.
