History

Promotion of Muangthong United

Muangthong United was founded in 1989 as Nongjorg Pittayanusorn Football Club by Worawi Makudi.

In 2009, Muangthong United which has owned by Siam Sport Syndicate (Thai biggest sports multimedia) successfully climbed three divisions from Thai Regional League Division 2 to Thai Premier League within the 3 years of span. The newly promoted club invested the significant of a fund to the team since they had a high ambition to reach the continental football. In that season, Provincial Electricity Authority F.C. (PEA) (later re-established to Buriram United) was the defending champion from the 2008 season. Both clubs met two times in the league and Muangthong won all of them. Muangthong finished their first season in their top league with the champion title. PEA FC finished at a ninth place out of sixteen clubs in the league.

Establishing of Buriram United

In December 2009 after the underwhelming performance of PEA FC, it was announced that a politician based in Buriram, Newin Chidchob was to take over the club. He had already tried unsuccessfully to take over TOT SC and Royal Thai Army FC[1] Newin relocated the club to Buriram in Isan and rebranded it to Buriram PEA Football Club. The Buriram PEA inherited most of the players from the former PEA club included the stars like Rangsan Vivatchaichok, Apichet Puttan and Theerathon Bunmathan. Pongphan Wongsuwan who was a long-time head coach of TOT S.C. was instated as coach. Thailand national team member Suchao Nuchnum of TOT S.C. also followed his coach to the new team.

Muanthong United won back-to-back Thai Premier League in 2010 while Buriram finished as the runner-up in their first season of a new era.

The Rivalry

In the early state of both clubs, the rivalry was mainly the competitive contest between them. However, it later developed into the conflict among supporters.

The rivalry of both teams started in 2012 from the conflict between Football Association of Thailand and Buriram United. Worawi Makudi who was the founder of Muangthong United has the deep relation with Siam Sports Syndicate was that time the president of the FAT. Newin Chidchob, the president of Buriram United frequently questioned the transparency of FAT and the bias of referees and schedule toward Muangthong United.[2] Due to the conflict, Siam Sport eventually bashed Newin Chidchob and Buriram United through their media channels which covered most of the local football in Thailand in that time.

In the late of 2012 season, Buriram United won Thai Premier League and request to hold the Trophy ceremony at their home in the match before the last one. However, that time FAT president Worawi Makudi declined the request and forced them to receive the trophy at United Stadium of Chiang Rai that was the venue of their last match. After the game, Buriram United reacted by sending two staff to receive the trophy and head back to the club without any celebration to show their protest against the Makudi.

Buriram United and Muangthong United have become the opposite poles after that. The supporters started to throw the hate to each side. Both supporters packed the stadium of two clubs whenever there was the matchup between them.
