Women's football in Singapore
is becoming more popular since the Football Association of
Singapore (FAS) took women’s football under its wing in
2000. A Women’s Football Division was set up with the FAS in
September 2004.
The rapidly growing interest for this sport holds great promise for
the future of women’s football in Singapore. Currently, the ground
for local women’s football is still being laid, and the grass is
still growing but the trend is rising and the response has been
overwhelming.
The objectives of the FAS Women’s Football Committee is to increase
awareness, knowledge and popularity and raise the standard of the
women's football in Singapore. It hopes to create a platform to
develop future football talents and media icons and to upgrade the
status of women's football in Singapore.
In 2005
Arafura Games held in Darwin,
Australia
, the
Singapore Women’s team produced a fine showing and won the bronze
medal. The Arafura Games is held every two years and is a
leading international sporting competition for emerging champions
of the Asia Pacific region.
Singapore women's national football team is still considered a
minnows in the region, being thrashed frequently by fellow Asian
teams or even ASEAN teams. Despite the men counterparts is
achieving some commendable results, the women's team is still
young. There is still a lot of work for the FAS to do for the
lioness, if they are to succeed like the Lions.
