MilkLife Kickers’ run at Singa Cup 2026 in the Girls U14 category ended in second place.
SINGAPORE – Although they did not win the trophy, the Indonesian girls’ team’s performances showed great potential in international youth football competition.
MilkLife Kickers actually had a chance to lock up the title after collecting nine points from three matches.
But their position at the top of the standings changed after Lion City Sailors recorded a convincing 9-0 win over South Coast Baptist College on Friday (6/11/2026).
That win gave the Singapore side nine points, and also put them ahead on goal difference. Lion City Sailors finished the competition with a goal difference of +32, while MilkLife Kickers were on +24.
Before the competition reached its final result, MilkLife Kickers had shown productive form. They silenced BMW 8-0 and beat Fremantle City FC 5-1.
Overall, MilkLife Kickers scored 26 goals and conceded only two. That record reflects the team’s consistency throughout the competition, although it was not enough to beat Lion City Sailors’ goal tally.
MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann sees the achievement at Singa Cup 2026 as part of a long process of developing Indonesian girls’ football.
For him, a team’s success is not decided only by the titles it wins. Facing opponents from other countries is an important chance for young players to understand the standard of international play.
Timo hopes the players can use the competition in Singapore as a spur to improve both their individual quality and their collective play.
He also stressed that MilkLife Kickers was formed as one of the vehicles for finding talented young female footballers who could be developed towards national-team level.
According to Timo, consistent training and the will to keep developing are the main things players must have after finishing the tournament.
