FAS names 20-man squad for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup qualifying match against Oman on 5th March 2014
SINGAPORE, 26 February 2014: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is pleased to announce the squad of 20 players who have been called up to the National Team that will be playing in an AFC Asian Cup qualifying match against Oman on 5th March 2014, at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex in Muscat, Oman.
The team comprises a mixture of youth and experience, with Hariss Harun and Shahril Ishak re-uniting once more with their Singapore teammates after their respective moves from LionsXII to Johor Darul Takzim and Johor Darul Takzim 2. This is also Home United’s Juma’at Jantan’s first call up to the National Team under Coach Bernd Stange.
Noting Oman’s quality, National Team Head Coach Bernd Stange said: “Oman has one of the best teams in Asia, and they have done very well to qualify for the 2015 Asian Cup. On top of that, we know that they will not be resting on their laurels so we have to play at our highest level. This is also a golden opportunity especially for our younger players to gain invaluable experience playing against quality opponents, and this can only help to develop them both on the physical and mental fronts. We will try to achieve a good result in Oman but the result is not the most important thing. All the players have to show that they deserve to represent Singapore. I look forward to another interesting and challenging encounter with Oman.”
The team will leave for Oman on 2nd March, Sunday and will return to Singapore on 6th March , Thursday. The match will kick off at 1730 hrs, Oman time (2130hrs, Singapore time) on 5th March, Wednesday at the Sultan Qaboos Sports Complex.
