Not only the Republic will be the first country in the South East Asian region to play host to this prestigious tournament this year, she also earned the right to host the tournament for the next three years. Since its inception back in 2013, the tournament featured some of the biggest names in world football with the match between Manchester United and Real Madrid in August 2014 witnessed a record turnout of 109,318 fans at the “Big House” (Michigan Stadium) at the University of Michigan - the largest attended

“I would love to see more proactive initiatives from clubs; more savvy marketing of players and teams to boost their profiles, as what we have seen (so far) has been dull and uninspiring.” I said those words which appeared in a wide-ranging article on TODAY weeks ago. Due credit to those who tried like how Home United did theirs last and this year, Hougang United kept everyone in the loop during the pre-season with some eye-catching updates on their Facebook "Page" and other social media platforms. While these updates online can be easily accessible on mobile gadgets during our daily routines, let's not rule out some information could be outdated to certain end-users unless they stick to their devices faithfully on a 24/7 basis in order not to be left out.

Amri headed home the second goal in the 61st minute Hougang United did not leverage on their earlier momentum they started off from Monday when they succumbed to a two-one defeat in the hands of Tampines Rovers at the Jalan Besar Stadium last evening.

Atsushi Shirota's (5) header forced a "Gordon Banks" from Izwan Mahbud  Nonetheless, it seems that Tampines were able to handle the crisis with ease that serves as a testament for the ample depth in the squad they enjoying - something Coach Jurgen Raab is happy about. Speaking to the media after the game, the former East German international said:"Having a big squad l

Fazrul Hazli (right) scored the consolation for "The Fighters" Barely surprised many when the first half of this AFC Cup Group G fixture between Tampines Rovers and Felda United from Malaysia ended scoreless. But what really surprised the crowd of 1277 at the Jalan Besar Stadium was the three-minute stoppage added on by the referee, which I doubt the decision went down too well with the audience, when many were more eager to head out for a breather following an uninspiring half of football. Ivan Dzoni (extremely right) facing pressure from Felda's defenders  In charge of his first competitive match since his recruitment weeks ago, Juergen Raab seems to adapt a much conservative approach that departed from the usual offensive flair associated with Tampines in the past.
