Announcement Of Squad List For Match Against Juventus
SINGAPORE, 31 JULY 2014: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is pleased to announce that the squad list for the Singapore Selection team to face Italian Serie A champions Juventus FC has been finalised.
There will be a total of 21 players in the squad, with a large majority (18) being eligible for the Singapore National Team. Of this group, 16 are capped National Team players led by current National Team captain Shahril Ishak and vice-captain Hariss Harun. Three foreign players from S.League teams Warriors FC (Nicholas Leandro Velez and Miroslav Pejic) and Home United FC (Sirina Camara) will also be part of the squad.
“We are treating this match as part of the preparations for the AFF Suzuki Cup at the end of this year, so most of the players are part of the national set-up. As I have mentioned before, I have also added a few stars from the S.League who have performed well this season. I believe this squad will be able to play the sort of game I want the National Team to play, and it will be a good chance to see where we stand after our recent training tour to Austria where we faced some top European teams,” said Bernd Stange, Head Coach, National Teams. He added: “This is going to be a great curtain raiser for football at the new National Stadium and our players are very motivated to put on a good performance. We look forward to the full support of all Singapore fans to make it a great atmosphere and a historic night for all of us to remember.”
The friendly will take place at the revised kick off time of 6pm on 16 August 2014 at the new National Stadium located at the Singapore Sports Hub. Tickets are available through Sports Hub Tix (www.sportshubtix.sg).
