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.

Singapore (beritajatim.com) – MilkLife Kickers had to settle for runners-up at Singa Cup 2026 in the Girls U14 category. That was confirmed after Singapore’s Lion City Sailors won 9-0 against Australia’s South Coast Baptist College on Friday (6 November 2026).

The extra three points and nine goals took Lion City Sailors to the top of the standings, previously held by MilkLife Kickers. Both teams actually collected nine points from three wins, but MilkLife Kickers dropped to second place on goal difference.

MilkLife Kickers had led the standings on day two after wins over BMW (Singapore) 8-0 and Fremantle City FC (Australia) 5-1.

Lion City Sailors ended the group phase with a goal difference of +32, scoring 35 goals and conceding only three. MilkLife Kickers recorded +24, with 26 goals scored and two conceded.

MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann said the final position at the tournament is not the only measure of the team’s success. He hoped the experience of competing at international level would motivate the players to keep improving through training.

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 said the competition at Singa Cup 2026 was more competitive. She also felt improved cohesion and chemistry between the players, even though the team had only a relatively short preparation.

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.
