Hyundai AFF — July/August 2026 FIFA ASEAN Cup — Sept/Oct 2026 Interesting to see how this plays out. If national teams can call up their best players and clubs are obligated to release them, then the FIFA-backed version will likely have the clear advantage.

🇦🇷🗣️ Marcelo Bielsa back in 2024: "I am sure that football is in a process of decline. It is becoming less and less attractive because what made it the best game in the world is not there anymore." "If you let a lot of people watch football, but you don't protect the pleasure of what they watch, that favours business, because the business is that a lot of people watch football." "For me, the introduction of technology (like VAR) does a lot of harm to football. This sport has a particularity: when it becomes completely predictable, it loses its appeal." "As time passes, as fewer and fewer footballers are worth watching and as the game produced is less and less enjoyable, this artificial increase in the number of spectators will be interrupted." Do you agree with Marcelo? 😳

Given the announcement earlier today, probably a good time to share this piece again. The Big Question: Do we really need a Fifa Asean Cup? straitstimes.com/sport/the-big-…

The question is will it be hosted in Saudi Arabia or Qatar?!

@singnoname His football career is definitely one of the most interesting ones. Been wondering what happened after he was let go alongside with 2 others at Clementi Khalsa midway thru' 2002 season?

He ended up making his name in Malaysia and getting somewhat forgotten back home.

HASNIM - THE BELGIAN U-TURN IN 1992 In late 1991, Hasnim Haron caught the attention of Belgian club SC Lokeren, but the move never materialised and saw him stay put in Singapore instead. 📝➡️ READ MORE: bolasepako.com/2026/02/hasnim… #sgfootball #singaporefootball #history #legacy

The Japanese can find opportunities elsewhere. The Singaporeans, harder to say.

@FCBalestier @lioncitysailors But Lopes made it 3-0 from the spot for @lioncitysailors after @FCBalestier's Harith Kanadi was judged to have a commited a foul in the box following a VAR review #SGPL #sgfootball #SPL #singaporefootball

@FCBalestier @lioncitysailors Thought @FCBalestier GK Hafiz Ahmad having a decent game so far to keep the score at 2-0 into the 2nd half. But the Tigers' offences are dismay to watch TBH, some of the decision making are questionable in front. #SGPL #sgfootball #SPL #singaporefootball

@FCBalestier GK Hafiz Ahmad made a few crucial saves to keep @lioncitysailors at the bay. The Tigers are looking to extend their unbeaten run of late against the @SGPremierLeague reigning champs on the ragged Bishan surface. #SGPL #sgfootball #SPL #singaporefootball
