“The season remains long, but Kampung Buangkok’s journey won’t stop here. As a self-funded team making tremendous sacrifices to represent Singapore—including playing back-to-back matches to reduce travel costs—they are fueled by passion and pride. And for that reason, they deserve our full support. Whether as fans of Singaporean football or simply as Singaporeans, it’s on us to rally behind them”
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with one small step. We hope that this one small step will draw the attention of various organizations within the footballing fraternity and potentially lead to the establishment of a local futsal league and national team in the near future”
“This is a great opportunity for me to learn from a big club that used to play in LaLiga, especially from a small country like Hong Kong. The football here is totally different, and I can learn a lot and improve as a player for sure”
“So, my country, Japan, won the AFC U-23 Asian Cup. But it came as a surprise to me. Of course, I believed in them and cheered for them. But then again, Japan didn’t exactly gather the best team for the tournament. It was far from the team that they had built up until now, and in fact, it was the most worrisome thing they had ever done since the team was formed, including the preparation period”
“Unlike the temporary break in Chinese football, Malaysian football development is more substantial, as it has proven for the past ten years. Credit has to be given to the HRH Crown Prince for sure. He not only reinforced the first team by injecting high-calibre players such as Jordi Amat, Shane Lowry, Pablo Aimar and more, but he also invested heavily in developing the training centre and the stadium and possessed a long-term vision for the club. Yes, all these might look easy on paper, but the HRH Crown Prince is the one who showed it by action. I have nothing but great respect for him”
“think the hierarchy of Asian football has changed so much. People see Japan as one of Asia’s strongest, if not the strongest, football nation. Just looked at the Iraqi victory against Japan. With no disrespect, the Iraqis fought well, beat one of the AFC Asian Cup’s favourites, and celebrated like they had won the Cup. It was a massive victory for the Iraqis”
“I have been following football worldwide and am used to seeing teams with massive supporters. But when I came to this 3-time Indian Super League runner-up (since 2014), especially after having experienced the match at the stadium in person and witnessing how everyone cheered and sang for the team, I was impressed with the football passion in the city, considering the team is not a renowned international team yet. After my last visit, they have gained a new supporter in me”
“The Hand of God is an ethical and sustainable fashion brand with a football theme designed and hand-printed in Barcelona. It is run by Sebastian and Gemma, a passionate couple with a love for football poetry and Maradona. We had the pleasure of talking with them, and they gave us a better understanding of the brand”
“The seventh edition of the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) Awards Night marking the end of the 2023 domestic football season, was held at Orchard Hotel this evening. This prestigious annual event, held amidst an atmosphere of excitement and anticipation, aims to honour the brightest talents of the year and honour the achievements of members of the football fraternity”
“History has been created. The local futsal team, Kampung Buangkok Futsal Team has received the blessing and sanction from the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) to participate in the next season of the Brunei Futsal League. The green light was officially given to the 3-year-old futsal team (established in 2020) on 25 August 2023”
“Our best World Cup memory has to be our first-ever World Cup victory against Ivory Coast back in Canada 2015! Ivory Coast scored very early in the game but we fought back to win it 3-2 in front of nearly 19,000 spectators at Ottawa. Probably, the next memory I could think of was playing against a strong Sweden in France 2019. We lost that match 5-1 but that was a strong showing by us especially recovering from the infamous 13-0 loss to the United States in our first match”
