Supporting Singapore Football: A Call to Action

Singapore football fans are known for their passion and loyalty, especially when it comes to supporting international stars like South Korea’s Son Heung-min. However, it’s crucial for fans to also rally behind their own national team, the Lions, with unwavering support.

During a recent World Cup qualifier match between Singapore and South Korea, the National Stadium was packed with fans eager to catch a glimpse of Son Heung-min in action. While the South Korean captain received applause from all corners of the stadium, it was evident that the Lions needed more vocal support from their home crowd.

Despite the heavy defeat suffered by Singapore, there were dedicated fans who stayed behind to applaud the team’s effort and determination. The head coach, Tsutomu Ogura, also displayed humility by taking responsibility for the loss and expressing gratitude towards the fans for their continuous support.

As passionate fans, it is essential to prioritize cheering for the home team and creating a positive atmosphere at matches. While it’s natural to admire international stars, showing solidarity with the Lions should be a top priority for Singaporean football enthusiasts.

Ultimately, football is a game that unites people from different backgrounds and cultures. By fostering a sense of camaraderie and sportsmanship, fans can create a welcoming environment for both local and international players alike. Let’s continue to show our support for the Lions and celebrate the spirit of football together.

Eddy Hirono, a dedicated local football fan, emphasizes the importance of backing the Singapore national team and encourages fellow supporters to cheer on the Lions in their upcoming matches. Whether at the stadium or watching from home, let’s stand united in our support for Singapore football.
