For Immediate Release Change of venue for International friendly against Hong Kong Pioneer MRT Station is just 5 minutes away... ( File Picture ) SINGAPORE, 12 August 2012: The International friendly between Singapore and Hong Kong will now be played at Jurong West Stadium instead of the originally scheduled venue, Bishan Stadium.

Being such, Jurong West Stadium was the original choice for this international friendly but it was unavailable for booking due to a scheduled maintenance. However through the kind understanding and cooperation of Singapore Sports Council, adjustments were made to the maintenance schedule thus making Jurong West Stadium available for our match against Hong Kong on the 15th of August 2012. Kindly note the updated details mentioned be

The two sides last met in June when the Lions were defeated 1-0 by their hosts in Hong Kong and no doubt that the Singapore team are eager for the avenge when they square off again in two weeks time.

(This entry is formulated based on the media release issued by the Football Association of Singapore ) SINGAPORE, 30 JULY 2012: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) held its 30th Annual General Meeting this evening at the Jalan Besar Stadium with the Council members, sponsors, club representatives and members of the media in attendance. Touching on various highlights of the organisation through the financial year 2011, FAS presented these events through a video presentation and a newly designed Annual Report (Jan 2011 – March 2012). FAS president, Mr Zainudin Nordin spoke at length on the Strategic Plan 2010 -2015 and its implementation progress as they move into the second half of the plan.

He said “As we move into the second half of the implementation of the FAS Strategic Plan, we will continue to work closely with our members and stakeholders, in pursuit of our objectives, as envisaged in our plan.” He w

Flashback to weeks earlier to this entry I posted  (screengrab below)... The earlier entry dated 25th May 2012 If like what Mr Zainudin mentioned (in bold italics font) is substantiate, is that any notable effort like what Courts Young Lions are doing (depicted below) to dr
