India, The Future Asian Football Giant

“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”

Footraveller Ueda Asahi Looking Forward to Southeast Asian Football Success

“Japan missed the 1994 World Cup in the United States with just seconds remaining. And for the 1998 World Cup in France, Japan won the playoffs with a golden goal. It was because of these two ‘hells’ (Doha-1993, where the Japanese cried) and ‘heaven’ (Johor Bahru-1997, where we got our revenge and cried tears of joy) that Japanese football improved drastically. 

Southeast Asian countries will also soon experience their own ‘heaven’ and ‘hell’ as Southeast Asia will play one of the most exciting, if not the most exciting, World Cup Qualifiers in the World Cup”

Visiting FC Barcelona and Experiencing the UEFA Champions League

“The UEFA Champions League theme song went off, and the match between Barca and FC Porto kicked off in nearly 40,000 packed Stadium. Instead of focusing on the exciting match, we were literally “marked out” of the game by the entertaining football ultras’ singing and the ten over thousands of mini Barca flags given to the fans for free upon entry, waving in the air. It was nothing impressive when only a few hundred flags moved in the air. But when it’s ten over thousands with singing, it is a sight”

Royal ARION Signs Thai Women Footballers for New Season

“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”

Visiting LaLiga’s Valencia – An Unique Football Experience

“Some of the fans were indeed shocked when they knew we were from Singapore but they quickly realised that we were equally as passionate as them cheering for Valencia. We tried our best to communicate with them to let them know that we were supporters of the club too. I think they appreciated our effort and probably guts (to be there in person!)”
