After a seven-year hiatus, the Lion City Cup is set to return for the 27th edition on 1st and 3rd September, with top regional sides Selangor Football Club (Malaysia), BG Pathum (Thailand), Borneo F.C. Samarinda (Indonesia), and host Singapore’s National Development Centre (NDC) Under-15 team.
The tournament will kick off on 1st September, with the third-place play-off and final held two days later. Borneo F.C. will meet BG Pathum at 5pm, whilst the Singapore NDC U-15 team will play against Selangor FC at 8pm on 1st September for the semi-final round. All matches will be played at Jalan Besar Stadium.
First introduced in 1977, the invitational tournament was aimed to nurture and develop young footballing talents in Singapore. It featured national youth teams across Asia, as well as developmental squads from clubs in Europe, Asia, Africa, Oceania and South America. The success of the tournament caught the attention of FIFA, leading to the inception of the FIFA U-16 World Championships. Notably, the Singapore under-16 national team which then featured a young Fandi Ahmad, who was the vice-captain, emerged as the first Lion City Cup champion.
