Cools signs off Thai stint in style before expected move to Japan
KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia international Dion Cools, who captained Buriram United to the Thai League Cup title on Saturday, may have played his final match for them before an expected move to Japan's Cerezo Osaka. The 28-year-old defender scored the opening goal — his fifth for the club this season — in extra time in Buriram's 2-0 win over Lamphun Warriors. While Cools has yet to announce his next destination, Buriram owner Newin Chidchob has already acknowledged his departure, asking Thai fans to give their blessings. Cools is expected to be a key player for Harimau Malaya in their Asian Cup qualifier against Vietnam on June 10 at the National Stadium, Bukit Jalil. Cools is set to report for the third phase of national training on June 5, but will miss the closed-door friendly against Cape Verde at Bukit Jalil on Tuesday.

Thailand Plans to Submit Bid for F1 Race in 2028
Thailand is planning a bid to host a Formula One street race in its capital Bangkok in 2028 and will seek cabinet approval for its proposal next week, a government official said on Monday. Thai Prime Minister Paetongtarn Shinawatra, who attended the Monaco Grand Prix at the weekend, will propose a "Sustainable F1", government spokesperson Jirayu Houngsub said, adding race officials had responded positively. The bid proposal and results of a feasibility study will be submitted to cabinet on June 4 before proceeding, he said. No specific details were provided on the sustainability aspect of the plan, but Jirayu said the proposed Bangkok race would be environmentally friendly and aims to attract investment in green technology alongside motorsport. Formula One already has a crowded schedule of 24 races around the world with four in the Asia-Pacific region, including the Singapore Grand Prix in Southeast Asia. Hosting the race would help promote tourism, a key driver of Thailand's economy, said Jirayu. Thailand has previous experience hosting a round of the MotoGP motorcycling world championships at its FIA accredited track in Buriram in the northeast of the country. Thailand's announcement follows Paetongtarn's previous talks with Formula One chief Stefano Domenicali in March. "Thailand sees the opportunity to host a Formula 1 Grand Prix in the future as a key initiative to elevate our profile as a hub for international tourism and global events," Paetongtarn said on social media at the weekend following a meeting with Prince Albert of Monaco.
