The Singapore national football team plays for Singapore in international men's football. The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) organizes the team. FAS is part of the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) and the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF). The team's colors are red and white. People often call them "The Lions" because the lion is a very important symbol for Singapore. Singapore has one of the oldest national teams in Asia. The FAS is even the oldest football association on the continent!

Even though Singapore is a small country, its football team has done very well. They have often competed strongly against bigger neighbors. Their biggest successes are in the regional AFF Championship. Singapore has won this championship four times: in 1998, 2004, 2007, and 2012. Singapore was the first team to win the AFF Championship four times. They are also the only team to win every final they have played in.

In 1998, Singapore beat Vietnam in the final to win their first big international football title. In 2004–05, they defeated Indonesia 5–2 over two games. Singapore won the trophy again in 2007, beating Thailand 3–2. In 2012, they won their fourth title, again defeating Thailand 3–2.

Singapore has also achieved good results outside its region. In the 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualification, Singapore was the only team to beat Iraq. Iraq went on to win the Asian Cup that year! Singapore also drew with China three times at home. In 2008, Australia couldn't beat Singapore, ending in a 0–0 draw. During the 2018 FIFA World Cup qualifiers, Singapore held Japan to a draw in Japan. This was the only game where Japan lost points in their group. Singapore also got good draws against European teams like Kazakhstan (0–0 in 2006) and Azerbaijan (2–2 in 2012).

Team History

Early Days (1892–1994)

In 1892, the Singapore Amateur Football Association started. The HMS Malaya Cup began in 1921. Singapore was one of the first six teams and won the very first event. The team that played in the Malaysia Cup and Malaysian League was not exactly the national team. It included some foreign players, more like a club. But many Singapore fans saw it as their national team. They won or were runners-up every year until 1941, when World War II stopped the games.

Overall, Singapore won 24 Malaysia Cup titles and two Malaysian League titles. After winning both in 1994, the Football Association of Singapore left the Malaysian competitions. This happened because of a disagreement over money from ticket sales. Singapore then started its own professional league, the S.League, in 1996. They also started focusing more on their national team's performance in international games.

In 1984, Singapore hosted its first and only international competition, the 1984 AFC Asian Cup. The team was knocked out in the group stage. They got four points, including a 2–0 win over India and a 1–1 draw with strong team Iran. In the FIFA World Rankings, Singapore's highest rank was 73rd in August 1993.

Singapore Football Rises (1995–2003)

Singapore won the bronze medal at the 1995 Southeast Asian Games. They lost 0–1 to Thailand in the semi-finals. Singapore hosted the first AFF Championship (then called Tiger Cup) in 1996. But they were eliminated in the group stages.

The national team reached the semi-finals of the Southeast Asian Games again in 1997. They lost to Indonesia and then to Vietnam 0–1 for third place.

However, in the 1998 AFF Championship, Singapore's team, led by coach Barry Whitbread, won their group. They beat Malaysia and the Philippines. In the semi-finals, they beat Indonesia. Then, they won 1–0 against hosts Vietnam in the final. This was Singapore's first ever international title!

Jan B. Poulsen, who worked with the Denmark team at the 1998 FIFA World Cup, became the Technical Director for FAS in 1999. Singapore did not do well in the 2000 AFF Championship. So, coach Vincent Subramaniam was fired, and Poulsen took over in December 2000. Singapore hosted the 2002 AFF Championship. They lost 0–4 to rivals Malaysia in their first game. Local newspaper The New Paper had encouraged many fans to come. After the game, the Lions said the big crowd made them nervous. Singapore then won 2–1 against Laos. But a 1–1 draw with Thailand was not enough to reach the next stage. Poulsen was fired after the tournament.

AFF Championship Wins (2004–2012)

Radojko Avramović, known as 'Raddy', was Singapore's most successful coach. He led the team from 2003 to 2012 and won the AFF Championship three times.

Radojko Avramović became the coach of the Singapore national team in July 2003. Singapore started the 2004 AFF Championship as underdogs. But a 1–1 draw with hosts Vietnam, another draw with Indonesia, and wins against Cambodia and Laos helped them reach the semi-finals.

Singapore played Myanmar in the two-game semi-finals. Singapore won the first game 4–3 away. In the second game, three Myanmar players were sent off. A Myanmar reserve goalkeeper even threw a water bottle at a Singapore player! Singapore won 4–2 after extra time, making the total score 8–5.

Singapore then won the first game of the final against Indonesia 3–1 in Jakarta. They won the second game 2–1 (5–2 total) in front of 55,000 fans at the old National Stadium.

Singapore played Lebanon on March 26, 2008, at the Old Kallang National Stadium and won 2-0.

In 2006, Avramović led Singapore into the 2007 AFC Asian Cup qualifiers. They had a 2–0 win at home over Iraq. But Singapore then lost away to Palestine. The team then played China away in Tianjin and lost due to a penalty in injury time. China came to Singapore for the second game, and Singapore's defense held them to a 0–0 draw. A 2–4 loss to Iraq ended Singapore's hopes of qualifying for the Asian Cup. The qualifying campaign ended with a 3–0 win over Palestine, who could not play the game.

Singapore hosted the group stages of the 2007 AFF Championship. After a 0–0 draw with Vietnam, Singapore beat Laos 11–0. This was their biggest win ever! In the last group match, Singapore knocked Indonesia out with a 2–2 draw. Singapore played Malaysia in the semi-final. The first game was a 1–1 draw. In the second game, after another 1–1 draw, Singapore beat Malaysia 5–4 in a penalty shootout. Goalkeeper Lionel Lewis saved the last Malaysian shot. In the final against Thailand, Singapore won the first game at home 2–1. Then, they got a 1–1 draw in Bangkok thanks to a late goal from Khairul Amri. This meant they kept the AFF Championship trophy! In the 2008 AFF Championship, Singapore won their group. But they lost to Vietnam 0–1 overall in the semi-finals.

Singapore played Palestine in the first round of the 2010 FIFA World Cup Asian qualification. Singapore won the first game 4–0 away. Palestine again could not play the second game, so FIFA gave Singapore a 3–0 win. Singapore then played Tajikistan in the second round. Singapore won 2–0 at home and drew 1–1 away. This meant they reached the third round of the Asian Qualifiers for the first time! They were grouped with Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Uzbekistan. Singapore lost their first game to Saudi Arabia. But then the Lions beat Lebanon 2–0 at home. They then lost twice to Uzbekistan, 3–7 and 0–1. This made it hard for Singapore to move on. Singapore was finally out when they lost 0–2 to Saudi Arabia at home. FIFA later changed the scores to 3–0 wins for Saudi Arabia and Uzbekistan. This was because Singapore used Qiu Li, who was not allowed to play for Singapore. Singapore finished third in the group with six points after beating Lebanon 2–1 in Beirut. This ended the "Goal 2010" plan.

The Singapore team that won their fourth AFF Championship trophy in 2012 at the Supachalasai Stadium in Thailand.

For the 2011 AFC Asian Cup qualification, Singapore was in Group E with Iran, Thailand, and Jordan. Singapore lost 0–6 to Iran in the first game. Then they beat Jordan 2–1. In November 2009, Singapore hosted Thailand and lost 1–3. But they won the return game 1–0 a few days later. This was Singapore's first win in Thailand in 48 years! Singapore then hosted Iran, losing 1–3. A 1–2 loss to Jordan ended their hopes for the 2011 Asian Cup. Some players reported that teammates were smoking during halftime in the Jordan match. In 2010, Singapore drew with the Philippines 1–1, beat Myanmar 2–1, but then lost to Vietnam 0–1. This meant Singapore was knocked out of the group stage of the AFF Championship. People criticized the Lions for their poor performance. In January 2011, the FAS decided to restart the national team. Six months later, the Lions were back.

In May 2011, coach Avramović announced a new 33-player squad. This was for upcoming friendly games and the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification. The Lions played friendly games against Maldives (won 4–0) and Laos (won 3-2). They also played Chinese Taipei and won 3–2. Before their first World Cup qualifier against China, they drew 0–0 with Thailand in a friendly.

Singapore got a bye to the second round of 2014 FIFA World Cup qualification in 2011. This was because they reached the third round in the previous World Cup. Their opponents in the second round were rivals Malaysia. Singapore beat them 5–3 in the first game. The second game was a 1–1 draw. This was enough for Singapore to go to the third round of the 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifiers. In the draw, Singapore was in Group A with Jordan, Iraq, and China. Singapore lost their first game 1–2 to China. They then lost 0–2 to Iraq. The next game was at Jalan Besar Stadium against Jordan, which Singapore lost 0–3. A 0–2 loss to Jordan away ended the Lions' chances. Singapore ended the year with a 0–4 loss at home to China. This was their fifth loss in a row. Iraq then beat Singapore 1–7. Singapore finished with no wins. Singapore then played a friendly against UEFA nation Azerbaijan. It was a 2–2 draw. Singapore was down by two goals before Shahril Ishak scored in the 70th minute. Shahdan Sulaiman then scored a tying goal in the last minute of the game.

In the 2012 AFF Championship, Singapore started with a 3–0 win over Malaysia. They then lost 0–1 to Indonesia. But they won 4–3 against Laos to win their group and reach the semi-finals. They faced the Philippines in the semi-finals. Singapore won 1–0 overall with a single goal from Khairul Amri. This set up a final against Thailand. The Lions won the first game of the final 3–1 in Singapore. Even though they lost the away game 0–1, Singapore won the 2012 AFF Championship. This was their fourth title! Singapore held the record for the most AFF Championship titles at that time. Radojko Avramović left his job as Singapore coach after this tournament.

Tough Times (2013–2018)

FAS then hired former Singapore football legend, V. Sundramoorthy, as head coach in 2013. This was before the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification. Singapore was in Group A with Jordan, Syria, and Oman. Singapore lost 0–4 to Jordan in the first game and 0–2 in the second. In October 2013, Singapore hosted Syria at the Jalan Besar Stadium. They got their first win of the campaign, 2–1, thanks to Gabriel Quak's late goal. But a month later, Syria beat Singapore 0–4. Singapore then hosted Jordan, losing 1–3. A 1–3 loss to Oman ended their hopes for the 2015 Asian Cup.

The FAS announced on May 15, 2013, that they had hired German Bernd Stange as the new head coach. On May 27, 2013, Stange named his 23 players for friendly games against Myanmar and Laos. The team included new players like 17-year-old Adam Swandi. LionsXII midfielders Gabriel Quak and Faris Ramli and Tanjong Pagar United's winger Hafiz Nor also got their first call-ups. Veteran forward Indra Sahdan was also called back. He was captain for Stange's first game against Myanmar, which Singapore won 2–0. He also scored the first goal in the second friendly against Laos, which Singapore won 5–2. After these two wins, Singapore's FIFA World Rankings went up nine places to 156th in July 2013. On October 15, 2013, Stange got his first competition win in a 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualification match against Syria. Gabriel Quak scored a late goal to win the match 2–1 at the Jalan Besar Stadium. Stange tried to teach the Singapore team a fast, one-touch style of play. He wanted to get the team ready for the 2014 AFF Championship and try to win it again. Singapore entered the 2014 AFF Championship as defending champions, playing at home. But their title defense ended with a 1–2 loss to Thailand. Then, they beat Myanmar 4–2. But they were knocked out after a 1–3 loss to rivals Malaysia. The Lions finished with 3 points and were 3rd in Group B. They were the first defending champions in AFF Championship history to be knocked out in the group stage.

Singapore then started their campaign with an away game against Cambodia on June 11, 2015, winning 4–0. After that, they went to Saitama Stadium in Japan and held the hosts to a 0–0 draw. However, they lost to Syria 0–1. This was their first loss in the group stages. The Lions then beat Afghanistan 1–0 and got their second win against Cambodia, winning 2–1. But the winning streak ended when they faced Japan at home, losing 0–3. They then played Syria in a close game. Khribin of Syria scored in the 20th minute to make it 0-1. Safuwan of Singapore scored a late tying goal in the 89th minute. But Singapore couldn't hold on, and Khribin scored again in the 93rd minute. This resulted in a 1–2 loss for Singapore. Singapore played their final game against Afghanistan and lost 1–2. Singapore finished third in the table with 10 points.

In April 2016, the FAS announced that Bernd Stange's contract would not be renewed. He left the Singapore national football team. A few months later, FAS announced that Tampines Rovers head coach V. Sundramoorthy would be the new caretaker coach. Sundram's first big tournament was the 2016 AYA Bank Cup in June. The team beat host Myanmar and went to the finals against Vietnam. In that game, the teams drew after 90 minutes. In extra time, Singapore gave up 3 goals and finished second. After a few months, Sundram and FAS set up the "Causeway Challenge" against Singapore's rival, Malaysia. Singapore created many chances and played well, but the game ended in a 0–0 draw.

In 2016, Sundram also called up some new players who had not played for the national team before. These included Syazwan Buhari, Khairulhin Khalid, Irfan Fandi, Abdil Qaiyyim, Shawal Anuar, Azhar Sairudin, and Amy Recha. Many of them played at least one game. Hami Syahin was not called up for games but was in the 40-player squad for the 2016 AFF Championship. Sundram also called back players like Daniel Bennett, Mustafic Fahrudin, Zulfadli Zainal, and Hafiz Nor. Ridhuan Muhammad was also in the 40-player squad. Sundram also gave chances to Shahfiq Ghani and Shahdan Sulaiman, who had just recovered from long-term injuries. For the 2016 AFF Championship, Singapore was in a tough group with Thailand, Indonesia, and the Philippines. Singapore started with a 0–0 draw against the Philippines. They then lost 0–1 to Thailand, with Thailand's Sarawut Masuk scoring a late goal in the 89th minute. Singapore needed at least a draw with Indonesia, and Thailand had to beat the Philippines to qualify. Singapore was leading 1–0 in the first half. But Singapore's defense made mistakes and gave up 2 late goals. This allowed Indonesia to qualify. Singapore finished last in their group in the 2016 AFF Championship.

Singapore started their 2019 AFC Asian Cup qualification third round against Bahrain on March 28, 2017. Singapore drew 0–0 with Bahrain. In Singapore's next game, they lost 1–2 at home to Chinese Taipei. Singapore's vice-captain Hariss Harun scored for Singapore. Xavier Chen and Chen Chao-an scored for the visitors. Singapore's head coach V. Sundramoorthy started a "National Team Day." On Mondays, players called up for the team would have a short meeting and training. In this call-up, Sundram called back players like Raihan Rahman. Sundram also called up new players like Ho Wai Loon and Muhaimin Suhaimi. They made history by not winning any match in a year. Their FIFA ranking dropped to its lowest ever, 173rd. Singapore finished last in the group with 2 points. They lost their final match 1–0 to Chinese Taipei, having lost both games to them.

Rebuilding (2019–2021)

On May 30, 2019, Tatsuma Yoshida, a former player, became the head coach of the national team. Yoshida's first game as coach was a 4–3 win against the Solomon Islands at the National Stadium. Singapore started their 2022 FIFA World Cup qualification at the Jalan Besar Stadium. They drew 2–2 with Yemen and won 2–1 against Palestine. The team then traveled to Riyadh to play Saudi Arabia. Singapore defended well for most of the game. But Salem Al-Dawsari scored in the 83rd minute. Then, Fahad Al-Muwallad and Saleh Al-Shehri scored two more goals. Singapore lost because of poor communication and defensive mistakes. The Lions finished fourth in their group, just above Yemen. But they still qualified for the 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifying third round.

Yoshida extended his contract in early 2021 to focus on the 2020 AFF Championship. The tournament was delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Singapore was chosen to host this tournament. Singapore started their group stage with wins against Myanmar (3–0), Philippines (2–1), and Timor-Leste (2–0). They then lost 0–2 to Thailand, who later won the cup. With three wins, Singapore reached the 2020 AFF Championship semi-finals as runners-up. They faced Indonesia. On December 21, 2021, in the first game, Singapore and Indonesia drew 1–1. In the second game on December 25, 2021, Singapore was leading 2–1 after a free-kick goal from Shahdan Sulaiman. But Pratama Arhan tied the score for Indonesia, sending the game into extra time. Two Singapore players were given red cards. There was also a controversial moment where Indonesia's captain, Asnawi Mangkualam, seemed to mock Faris Ramli for missing a penalty. Singapore had to play extra time with only 9 players. It got even worse when Hassan Sunny, who had played brilliantly, got a red card for a last-man challenge. This meant Singapore had three red cards in one match. This was the first and only time this happened in the AFF Championship. Ikhsan Fandi had to play as goalkeeper in the last minutes because all substitutions were used. Indonesia won 4–2 (5–3 overall). After the game, fans were very angry with the referee, Qasim Al-Hatmi. They felt he favored Indonesia and made bad decisions, causing controversial red cards, a penalty, and a disallowed offside goal. Hassan Sunny received praise from both Singaporean and Indonesian fans for his amazing saves. Both sets of fans respected each other for the good fight. On December 28, 2021, Yoshida left his job as head coach by agreement, saying it was for family reasons.

Recent Years (2022–Present)

Nazri Nasri was the temporary coach for Singapore in the 2022 FAS Tri-Nations Series. This series included Malaysia and the Philippines and was played at the National Stadium. In his first game on March 26, 2022, Ikhsan Fandi scored two goals, and Singapore won 2–1 against Malaysia. Three days later, they won 2–0 against the Philippines.

On April 25, 2022, FAS announced that Takayuki Nishigaya was the new head coach. Nishigaya's first game was a friendly against Kuwait, which Singapore lost 0–2. Singapore started their 2023 AFC Asian Cup qualifying third round in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. They lost 1–2 to Kyrgyzstan after Song Ui-young scored for Singapore but then gave away a penalty. Singapore then lost closely to Tajikistan 0–1. Even though they won their last group game against Myanmar 6–2, they were out of the Asian Cup qualification.

In October 2023, Singapore started their 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification against Guam. The first game was at the National Stadium, with over 10,000 fans. Singapore won 2–1 with goals from Christopher van Huizen and Jacob Mahler. However, fans were not happy because Singapore missed many chances to score. The team then traveled to Dededo for the second game on October 17. Shawal Anuar scored the only goal, securing the win. Singapore moved on to the second round. They were grouped with strong teams like South Korea, China, and rivals Thailand.

During the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match on March 21, 2024, Singapore played at home against China. They were losing 0–2, with Wu Lei scoring both goals. But Faris Ramli and Jacob Mahler scored to make a comeback and draw 2–2. In the away game in Tianjin, China scored first. But Hariss Harun kicked a long ball to Ryhan Stewart, who crossed it to Faris Ramli. Faris scored with a header just 8 seconds after China's goal! However, Singapore eventually lost 1–4 to China. On June 6, 2024, Singapore had one of their worst defeats ever, losing 0–7 to South Korea at the National Stadium. Global stars Son Heung-min and Lee Kang-in each scored two goals. Five days later, Singapore ended their World Cup qualification campaign with a 1–3 away loss to Thailand. Singapore finished last in their group. But Singapore's strong effort, especially goalkeeper Hassan Sunny making 13 saves and Ikhsan Fandi's goal, helped China move on instead of Thailand.

Team Look

Jerseys

The Singapore team has had different jersey makers over the years, like Admiral, Puma, Umbro, Grand Sport, and Tiger. Since 2008, Nike has made the national team's jerseys.

Singapore first wore blue shirts and shorts for their home games. But in the late 1980s, "The Lions" started wearing the national colours of red and white for home games. They kept blue for their away kit. This continued through the 1990s. For the 2007 AFF Championship, the team's home colors changed back to blue, with white as the away kit.

Before 2006, Singapore used the same kit for almost 5 years. It was made by Tiger with Diadora. The kit used in the 2007 AFF Championship was last seen on February 4, 2007. The next kit was first used on June 24, 2007. This jersey had white edges on the sleeves and around the neck. Unlike most teams that use their football association's logo, Singapore uses its national flag on the left chest. A white Nike logo is on the right chest. This is also true for the away jersey.

In 2008, new tight-fitting jerseys were shown. They came in the two traditional team colors: red for home games and blue for away games. The team first wore this kit in a friendly game against Australia in March 2008.

In November 2010, Nike launched a new football kit for Singapore, made for the 2010 AFF Championship. The home kit had two shades of red. The away kit had two shades of blue, like the Singapore team wore in the 1970s. In recent years, the national team kits often include the FAS logo, sometimes with the Singapore flag.

The jerseys for 2022 to 2024 were first worn during a friendly game against Maldives on December 17, 2022, which Singapore won 3–1. These are also the team's jerseys for the 2022 AFF Championship.

Home Stadiums

From 1932 until the National Stadium opened in 1973, Jalan Besar Stadium hosted all home games for Singapore's teams in the Malaysia Cup. After 1973, all of Singapore's home games in the Malaysia Cup and national team matches were played at the National Stadium.

However, the National Stadium was planned to be torn down in 2010 to make way for the new Singapore Sports Hub, which finished in 2014. Singapore played Australia in what was supposed to be the last game at that stadium. But due to delays, the National Stadium hosted 5 more games, including 2 more World Cup 2010 qualifier matches. While the stadium was being rebuilt, the Singapore national team played its home games at the Jalan Besar Stadium.

Since 2004, Singapore has played its home matches in 7 different stadiums across Singapore.

Supporters

The main group of supporters for the national team in Singapore is called "SingaBrigade." They are known for being very passionate and supportive. At every international match, you can find them standing together in the supporters' area. They usually wear red, with scarves and banners in the national team's colors. These supporters always bring drums and large national flags to the stadiums. Since 2023, more fans have been coming to home games. For example, 29,644 tickets were sold for the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification (AFC) match against Thailand in November.

Rivalries

Singapore has rivalries with Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Vietnam, the Philippines, and Myanmar. These rivalries exist because the countries are close to each other.

Singapore's rivalry with Malaysia is called the "Causeway Derby" or "Lions against Tigers." This derby used to be the most exciting football event for both countries. In the 1980s and early 1990s, people would queue overnight for tickets. After Singapore beat Malaysia 6–4 overall to reach the third round of 2010 FIFA World Cup qualification, fans from both sides started arguing online. Malaysian fans were angry because they felt the Lions wasted time. They even created a Facebook page to mock Singapore. The angry discussions, with bad language and racist comments, worried football officials in both countries. During the first game in Singapore in July 2011, Malaysian fans threw things onto the Jalan Besar Stadium field after Singapore's fourth goal. The return game was even more heated. Water bottles were thrown at Singapore players after the game. Goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud was targeted with laser pointers during the game to distract him.
