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, Jatengnews.id – MilkLife Kickers had to settle for finishing as runners-up in the Girls U14 category of Singa Cup 2026. The position was confirmed after the hosts’ representatives, Lion City Sailors, won 9-0 against South Coast Baptist College (Australia) on Friday (6 November 2026).

The result gave Lion City Sailors nine points, the same as MilkLife Kickers. But the Singapore team had a goal difference of +32, while MilkLife Kickers had +24.

MilkLife Kickers had been impressive, taking three wins. Timo Scheunemann’s side beat BMW (Singapore) 8-0 and Fremantle City FC (Australia) 5-1 on day two.

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

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 saw cohesion and chemistry between the players getting better, even though the team’s preparation was relatively short.

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.
