SINGAPORE, 4 September 2013: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is pleased to announce the 22-man squad who will represent Singapore in the Merdeka Tournament, to be held from September 7 – 14 at the Darul Makmur Stadium in Kuantan, Pahang. The National Under-23 team from Singapore will face teams from Thailand, Myanmar and Malaysia in the 41st edition of the tournament. Most of the players who have been called up for this tournament had played in the recent international friendlies against the Under-23 teams of Philippines and Indonesia.

 

At the helm of the Under-23 squad is head coach V. Sundramoorthy who expresses his enthusiasm for the upcoming tournament. “The Merdeka Tournament has always been a tournament full of energy and exciting gameplay. I am pleased that the boys are given the opportunity to play in this tournament as it will provide excellent exposure for them ahead of the SEA Games. This is vital to the development of our youth players and the experience that the Under-23 players will gain from the Merdeka Tournament , as well as the international friendlies, will only further enhance their progress as players. Having said that, we are up against strong opponents in this tournament and the team is certain to give their best effort to ensure our progress in the tournament.”
