Indonesia’s MilkLife Kickers finished runners-up in the Singa Cup 2026 Girls U14 category, a valuable experience for young Indonesian players at international level.
Liputan6.com, Jakarta – Indonesia’s representatives MilkLife Kickers had to settle for ending their Singa Cup 2026 Girls U14 campaign as runners-up. Although they could not become champions, the achievement is valuable capital for Indonesia’s young players to improve their skills and gain experience at international level.
MilkLife Kickers were confirmed in second place after the hosts’ representatives, Lion City Sailors, won 9-0 against the Australian team South Coast Baptist College on Friday (6 November 2026).
The result gave Lion City Sailors nine points from three matches and took them to the top of the standings, previously held by MilkLife Kickers. The two teams actually had the same number of points and wins, but MilkLife Kickers lost out on goal difference.
Lion City Sailors closed the group phase with a goal difference of +32 after scoring 35 goals and conceding only three. MilkLife Kickers recorded +24, with 26 goals scored and two conceded.
MilkLife Kickers’ run at Singa Cup 2026 was impressive. On day two of the competition, the Indonesian team were top of the standings after two convincing wins.
MilkLife Kickers began by thrashing Singapore’s BMW 8-0. They continued their good form by beating Australia’s Fremantle City FC 5-1.
Those two wins completed MilkLife Kickers’ three wins in the competition. But Lion City Sailors’ higher goal tally gave the Singapore side top spot.
In the final standings, Fremantle City FC finished third, while South Coast Baptist College had to settle for fourth.
Timo Scheunemann: experience matters more than results alone
MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann stressed that a team’s success is not measured only by its final position in a tournament.
He said the chance to compete at Singa Cup 2026 should be an important experience that makes the players more motivated to improve through more serious and consistent training.
Timo, who previously also took Indonesia’s Garuda Pertiwi to runners-up at the Srikandi Merdeka Cup 2026, hoped the MilkLife Kickers players can keep developing and have the chance to become part of Indonesia’s national team in future.
