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, MettaNEWS – MilkLife Kickers had to settle for runners-up at the international football tournament Singa Cup 2026 in the Girls U14 category.

Despite collecting nine points from three wins, the Indonesian representatives could not hold on to top spot after losing on goal difference to hosts Lion City Sailors.

MilkLife Kickers’ second place was confirmed after Lion City Sailors won 9-0 against Australia’s South Coast Baptist College on Friday (6 November 2026) afternoon. The extra three points and nine goals took Lion City Sailors to the top of the standings.

MilkLife Kickers had led the standings on day two after two convincing wins. They beat Singapore’s BMW 8-0 and Australia’s Fremantle City FC 5-1.

With those results, MilkLife Kickers and Lion City Sailors both had nine points from three wins. But scoring more goals gave the hosts the right to be champions.

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

MilkLife Kickers coach Timo Scheunemann said achievement at Singa Cup 2026 is not measured only by the final position in the standings. He said the experience of international competition should 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.

The coach, who also took Indonesia’s Garuda Pertiwi to runners-up at the Srikandi Merdeka Cup 2026, hoped the experience in Singapore would be valuable for the players as they develop and become able to compete at a higher level.

MilkLife Kickers forward Albianca Raula said the competition at Singa Cup 2026 was more competitive. She also felt positive progress in cohesion and chemistry between the players, even though the team’s preparation time was 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.
