SINGAPORE, 15 JULY 2016: The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) is pleased to announce that it will be hosting the inaugural FAS Under-21 International Challenge Cup 2016.

The quadrangular tournament will take place on 20 and 23 July 2016 at Bishan Stadium, and will feature the Under-21 National Teams from Hong Kong, Iran and Uzbekistan. The first match will see Iran take on Uzbekistan, while Singapore will face Hong Kong in the second match. Both matches will take place on 20 July. The winners will then meet in the Cup final on 23 July 2016 at 8.00pm, with the third/fourth place match to take place earlier on the same day.

The 20-strong squad will be led by Richard Tardy, Head Coach, National Youth Teams. He said: “Our young players need as much international exposure as they can get leading up to the SEA Games in 2017. The FAS Under-21 International Challenge Cup is part of our comprehensive long-term preparations for the SEA Games which began last year, and will give them good experience against strong Asian teams. It is an important step in developing them to their full potential as footballers.”
