Indonesia’s representative football team, MilkLife Strikers U-12, began their Singa Cup 2026 campaign with a brilliant result. Facing host representatives Lion City Sailors, MilkLife Strikers won 6-1 at The Rainforest Hub, West Coast, Singapore, on Sunday (1 November 2026).

MilkLife Strikers coach Jacksen F. Tiago said effectiveness in using chances was one of the main factors behind the win. He also praised the mentality of the players, who were able to cope with the pressure of facing one of Singapore’s strong teams.

I told the children that even the smallest chance has to be made the most of. That is what they did today. The opposing team pressed high, and from there we managed to exploit the space behind their back line. Not only that, I am also happy that the players could overcome their nerves on the first day. What is more, we managed to win against a strong team like Lion City Sailors. For me, being able to come here and get this playing experience is already very valuable.

Before leaving for here, the players went through intensive preparation. From the start, we focused on building the players’ chemistry on the pitch. As a result, today I saw them all blend in and play as a unit. They managed to close the distance between one another even though they come from different team backgrounds.
