“Leicester City’s SHOCKING Big Screen Blunder Sparks OUTRAGE – Why They’ll NEVER Show It Again Before Sheffield Wednesday Clash!”

A politically charged message displayed at the King Power Stadium last weekend will not feature in Leicester City’s opening fixture of the season.

During their final pre-season clash with Fiorentina last Sunday, the Thai flag was shown on both the stadium’s big screens and pitchside advertising boards, accompanied by the hashtag #TruthFromThailand.

Images of the display were subsequently shared by the club’s Thai-language social media accounts.

The hashtag refers to the ongoing dispute along the Thailand–Cambodia border, which has claimed at least 43 lives.

Longstanding tensions between the nations flared into open conflict last month, though a ceasefire has been in effect since Thursday.

Beyond the physical clashes, the conflict has spilled into the digital sphere, with both sides engaging in propaganda and misinformation campaigns online.

Among Thai supporters, #TruthFromThailand has become a widely used rallying tag.

Leicester City made no announcement to fans beforehand and offered no explanation of the message’s meaning during the Fiorentina match.

The move drew criticism, particularly from the Foxes Trust supporters’ group, which issued a public statement expressing concern over political content being displayed at a football match.

“The Foxes Trust has contacted the club to raise concerns about Thai political messaging shown during the Fiorentina game,” the statement read.

“While we respect the owners’ rights to political beliefs and affiliations in Thailand, we do not believe our club should be a platform for those views.

“Since 1884, Leicester City has been an integral part of the local community under various owners.

It is our duty to ensure the club’s reputation, integrity, and public image – as well as the safety of match-going fans – are not compromised by political associations. We therefore request that the club refrain from promoting political campaigns in future.”

Sources suggest the Thai flag display and related messages will not appear during the Championship curtain-raiser against Sheffield Wednesday.

Continuing with such messaging could have landed the club in trouble with football authorities.

The Football Association’s handbook explicitly prohibits political messages on any clothing or equipment used in matches.
