MilkLife Kickers had to settle for runners-up at the international Singa Cup 2026 football tournament in the Girls U14 category.
AYOSEMARANG.COM – The Indonesian team could not hold on to top spot after being overtaken by the hosts’ representatives, Lion City Sailors, on goal difference.
This was confirmed after Lion City Sailors won 9-0 against Australia’s South Coast Baptist College on the afternoon of Friday, 6 November 2026.
The extra three points and nine goals gave Lion City Sailors nine points from three matches, pushing aside MilkLife Kickers, who had been leading the standings.
MilkLife Kickers had started the tournament impressively. They topped the standings on day two after two wins: 8-0 over Singapore’s BMW and 5-1 against Australia’s Fremantle City FC.
MilkLife Kickers closed the group phase with nine points from three wins, but had to accept that Lion City Sailors scored more goals.
Lion City Sailors posted a goal difference of +32, with 35 goals scored and three conceded. MilkLife Kickers ended the competition on +24 after scoring 26 goals and conceding only two.
MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann said the final placing is not the only measure of the team’s success at Singa Cup 2026. He hopes the experience of international competition will motivate the players to train harder and improve.
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 focusing on training to raise their level.

He explained that MilkLife Kickers’ participation was also part of the effort to find potential players who can later be developed into the backbone of the national team.
MilkLife Kickers striker Albianca Raula felt the Singa Cup 2026 competition was more intense than before. Despite a relatively short preparation, she felt the togetherness and chemistry between the players improved during the tournament.
This year the games were more intense. As a team, I feel this season we were more compact in how we played, and our chemistry with each other clicked, even though, you could say, our preparation was quite short.
