Circumventing The K-League ASEAN Quota Conundrum
In 2020, the K-League launched the ASEAN Quota, where K-League clubs were given an extra foreign player spot for players from Southeast Asia. This move was designed to help expand the K-League’s marketability in the ASEAN region, but in the past 2 years, only one club has utilized it. In 2021, K2 club Ansan Greeners […]

We Need VAR For The Singapore Premier League To Help The Referees
While Game Week 2 showed signs of improvement from a refereeing standpoint, I think the Singapore Premier League can benefit from the inclusion of Video Assistant Referee (VAR) system. Why?

Breaking Barriers: A chat with Seut Baraing, one of Cambodia’s finest

Revisiting The Foreign Sports Talent Scheme
I grew up in an era when the Singapore National Team featured several naturalized players.

Itimi Dickson, Precious Emuejeraye, Agu Casmir, Qiu Li, Mirko Grabovac, Egmar Gonçalves, and Mustafić Fahrudin are […]
One Last Hurrah!: Young Lions Shouldn’t Be Scrapped (Just Yet)
Where do I begin with the Young Lions? The club was formed in 2003 to provide some of the most talented Under-23 footballers with regular professional footballing experience. Besides having the chance to play together on a regular basis and maintaining team cohesion, the Young Lions project provided these players the opportunity to play against […]
