Beauty of Singapore football

Let me ask you, what is the beauty of Singapore football?

You might be wondering this to be a very tough question, or just dismiss it as 'No beauty in Singapore football'. In fact, I am not very sure too. Despite being a local, and attracted to football here, I still have not found much. The thing is, you watch because it is happening near you, and you are interested at such things.

I plan to keep this post short and sweet, but pardon me if I don't.

Singapore is a small country, a little red dot on the world. Yet, with just 4.5 million citizens in SIngapore at the moment, we have successfully overthroned Thailand as the kingpins of South-East Asia. What do we have? How did we achieve that?

The government has a say in this. They are a good government, and they constantly promote racial harmony and thus led to different races willing to work and cooperate well with each other. Secondly, the system in the S-League shows that each club is allowed 4 foreign players. This really promotes the Foreign Talent Scheme used for recruiting foreign talents to our national football. I can easily name a few in the national team, such as Daniel Bennett, Precious Emuejeraye and so on.

Now, to the main point. Beauty of Singapore football? Is it because of the competitive title race? Lots of controversies? Quality football? What is the pull factor in this question?

My answer is: Support of Singapore, Passion for Football, and some more.

From the Malaysian Cup days, Singapore had done very well, in attracting attention. Now, we are trying to gnite that passion, which can be seen from the effects of our matches in the Asean Football Championships, which we eventually won.

We love football, the craze makes us get attracted.
