Thailand's football disciplinary and ethics panel plans to hear the parties involved in allegations of racist abuse directed at Park Hang-seo and John Baggio. VnExpress cites Ball Thai Stand on the next stage of the process following Pattaya United's match against Kanchanaburi.
Events after the 1 November match
The teams drew 2-2 at Nong Prue in Thai League 2 on 1 November. Reports describe an argument between some home supporters and members of the visiting team, alongside allegations of racial and ethnic insults.
Match organisers and security intervened, and Kanchanaburi president Prawat Kitthammakunnit also came onto the pitch to address the situation. Thai League and both clubs subsequently issued statements condemning racism.
On 2 November, FAT president Nualphan Lamsam, known as Madam Pang, requested evidence collection and the start of a formal disciplinary review. Thanh Nien also cites Ball Thai Stand on the planned involvement of the supporters concerned, Park and Baggio in giving accounts.
Review follows the statements
The panel is expected to consider the evidence and those accounts before reaching a decision. VnExpress gives an anticipated period of seven to 14 days, with Thanh Nien describing one to two weeks.
Park joined Kanchanaburi in July on a two-year contract. The source listed his side sixth in Thai League 2 with 14 points at publication.
The next reported step is the panel's work with the parties and the evidence concerning events at Nong Prue, followed by its disciplinary consideration.
