FAS names squad for Atletico Madrid game
SINGAPORE, 10 MAY 2013: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has named V Sundramoorthy as the head coach and a 22-man squad for the friendly match against Atletico Madrid. Comprising a blend of experience and youth, the Singapore Selection team will take on the Spanish giants on 22 May 2013 at the Jalan Besar Stadium.
Commenting on his squad, coach V Sundramoorthy said, “We have assembled a squad comprising of young and experienced players, of whom have competed against top teams in recent years. I am also looking to give the young players a chance to showcase their potential on this big stage. This is part of the FAS’ Strategic Plan to further develop and enhance the local players’ footballing abilities with international game exposure. I am confident that the players will give their all for this challenging encounter against a top European club.”
National Team and LionsXII captain Shahril Ishak is thrilled at the prospect of leading the Singapore side once again. He said: “It will be tough playing against one of the top football clubs, not just in Spain, but in Europe. Just like any other football players, I am excited to face the likes of Radamel Falcao, Arda Turan among others. We certainly hope our fans will come and support us, and the Singapore Olympic Foundation – Peter Lim Scholarship, which helps promising young athletes chase their sporting aspirations.”
Former Singapore international and Home United striker Indra Shahdan, who has been named in the squad, hopes to see his name on the scoresheet for the game against the Atletico Madrid. He said: “This is a real good chance for me to once again prove my striking prowess against one of the top European teams.
