Football was introduced to Singapore in 1885 by British colonialists (Football Association of Singapore, 2020). The sport quickly gained popularity, and the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) was established in 1923. The FAS became a member of the Fédération Internationale de Football Association (FIFA) in 1957. In the early years, Singaporean footballers faced stiff competition from European and South American teams. However, the sport continued to grow, and Singapore's national team, the Lions, began competing in regional and international tournaments. Retrieved from https://www
