Sisaket Football Club (Thai: สโมสรฟุตบอลจังหวัดศรีสะเกษ) is a Thai defunct professional football club. The club used to play in the Thai League 1 between season 2010 to 2017. The highlight is being a local team that has a large number of football fans in the Isan area.
History
The club was founded as Sisaket F.C. in 2009 and won the Thai Provincial League. The team was founded by the Sports Authority of Thailand in collaboration with the Football Association of Thailand.
In 2008 they were promoted from the Regional League Division 2 to take them back to the Thai First Division.
Sisaket were promoted to the Premier league in 2010 after finishing third in the 2009 Thai Division 1 League.
In 2012 the club relocated to Ubon Ratchathani Province after the local Sisaket government decided to back the newly formed Sisaket United F.C. The club also changed their name to Esan United. Esan United finished the season in 6th, a record for the club.
In 2013 the Football Association of Thailand found Esan United guilty of forging documents, causing the club return to Sisaket. Due to legal conflicts, Sisaket were suspended for the rest of the season but were not relegated.
The club returned to the Thai Premier League in 2014, returning to their old name of Sisaket F.C and used Sri Nakhon Lamduan Stadium as their home ground.
On 27 July 2022, the Administrative Court of Thailand issued a verdict instructing the Football Association of Thailand to return the rights to manage a football team of the Sisaket F.C. to Esan United F.C. and compensate Esan United in the amount of 18.5 million baht. Therefore, it can be regarded as the dissolution of the Sisaket FC team as a default.
The team's colors are orange and black, and they are known for their passionate fan base and exciting style of play. Sisaket FC has a strong roster of talented players, both domestic and international, who work together to achieve success on the field.
Sisaket FC plays their home matches at the Sri Nakhon Lamduan Stadium, which has a capacity of over 10,000 spectators. The team has a rich history of competing in various domestic competitions and has a strong reputation for developing young talent.
Overall, Sisaket FC is a respected and competitive team in Thai soccer, with a dedicated fan base and a commitment to excellence on and off the field.
