‚ÄúAmong other benefits, futsal helps to enhance the players’ skills in tight areas as well as their decision-making abilities and it is an important element in our long-term strategy aimed at enhancing the standards of Singapore football. Going forward, we will continue to promote futsal at all levels. The team will gain invaluable exposure from this competition and we believe their participation at the AFF Futsal Championship will inspire more youths to pick up the sport,‚Äù Mr Tan added.
“I am delighted to have been selected to lead Singapore’s futsal team at the upcoming competition. Our players are determined to do their best and I am confident that they will gain invaluable experience from their participation at the AFF Futsal Championship.
