MilkLife Kickers ended their Singa Cup 2026 campaign in second place in the Girls U14 category, behind hosts Lion City Sailors only on goal difference.

HARIAN DISWAY – The MilkLife Kickers squad secured second place in the Girls U14 category of the international Singa Cup 2026 event in Singapore on Saturday, 7 November 2026. The runners-up spot was confirmed after the hosts’ representatives, Lion City Sailors, won 9-0 against the Australian team South Coast Baptist College on Friday, 6 November 2026.

The extra three points and the flood of goals took Lion City Sailors to the top of the final standings. Before that, MilkLife Kickers had led the group after two fine wins, 8-0 over Singapore’s BMW and 5-1 over Australia’s Fremantle City FC. Although both teams had nine points from three matches, the squad coached by Timo Scheunemann had to settle for second place on goal difference.

MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann stressed that final position is not the only main measure of taking part in the tournament. He hoped the valuable experience at international level would spur the players to keep sharpening their skills.

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’ key forward Albianca Raula also expressed her satisfaction with the team’s solid teamwork despite a relatively short preparation. She said the valuable experience in Singapore would spur her to train even harder.

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.
