MilkLife Kickers finished runners-up in the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U14 category, level on nine points with champions Lion City Sailors but behind the hosts on goal difference.

MILKLIFE Kickers had to settle for second place in the Girls U14 category of Singa Cup 2026. Top spot in the standings was taken by Lion City Sailors after the Singapore club won 9-0 against South Coast Baptist College of Australia on Friday (6 November).

The result gave Lion City Sailors nine points from three wins, the same as MilkLife Kickers. But a better goal difference made them champions at +32, while MilkLife Kickers were second with +24.

MilkLife Kickers had led the standings after beating BMW of Singapore 8-0 and Australia’s Fremantle City FC 5-1. Despite recording three wins, they eventually had to give up top spot.

MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann said the final result is not the only measure of the team’s success. He hoped the experience of playing at international level would push the players to keep improving and developing their potential.

When it comes to winning, everyone wants to win. But for me what matters more is that after this Singa Cup the players are more motivated to keep training with focus to raise their level. Only then do we talk about results on the pitch, because what we are really doing here is looking for players with potential to develop later so they can become the backbone of the national team. Hopefully they can keep working diligently to raise their level of play.

MilkLife Kickers forward Albianca Raula also valued the experience of the tournament. She said this year’s competition was more intense and team cohesion improved despite a relatively short preparation time.

This year the games were more intense. As a team, I feel this season we were more together in our play, and the chemistry between us clicked. Even though our preparation was fairly short. Personally I’m satisfied with the result we got at Singa Cup this year. The experience here motivates me to train harder to become an even better player.
