Thai fans react strongly as their team once again wins the Southeast Asian championship.

Thai fans have divided opinions after Buriram United successfully retained the Shopee Cup crown.

Buriram United continues to assert its number one position in Southeast Asia after defeating Selangor FC 2-1 in the second leg of the Shopee Cup 2025/26 final. The Malaysian side had surprised everyone with an opening goal from a long-range shot by Syahir Bashah, but Suphanat quickly equalized before Theeraton Bunmathan produced a spectacular volley to complete the comeback for Buriram.

Winning 3-1 on aggregate after two legs, Buriram successfully defends the Shopee Cup title. This is also the second consecutive year that a Thai representative has won the region's biggest club competition, clearly demonstrating the superiority of the Thai League over the rest of the region.

After the match, many Thai fans expressed pride on social media. Several opinions suggested that Thai club football is still "outclassing" Southeast Asia as Buriram continues to dominate regional tournaments. One fan wrote: "Buriram has won the Shopee Cup for two seasons; it's no longer luck but class."

Some fans also emphasized that Buriram is always the pride of Southeast Asia when competing on the continental stage. "They are not only strong in the region but also perform well regularly in the AFC Champions League. Buriram represents the current standard of Southeast Asian football," a comment that received many likes.

In addition to the praise for Buriram, Selangor FC was also highly regarded for their courageous fighting spirit. The Malaysian side played with great determination and created many moments that troubled Buriram. However, most Thai fans acknowledged that the class difference between the two teams was still very clear.

"Selangor fought brilliantly, but Buriram is in a different class," one account commented. Many believe that with its financial foundation, quality of foreign players, and international experience, Buriram United will continue to dominate Southeast Asian football for years to come.
