This is the 6th edition of SingaCup organized by Dynamique Konzepts. This year, the tournament welcomes a record number 69 teams from across 8 nations, Australia, Hong Kong, India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Philippines, to the sunny island of Singapore.

So which are the teams we should watch out for this year? We have shortlisted a few teams which will certainly worth your time under the sun this coming week.

Ceres-La Salle Youth Manila U18 (Philippines)
This team will not be an unfamiliar name for Singapore football fans as their Senior Team had recently collected the bronze medal in the RHB Singapore Cup after defeating Singapore’s Balestier Khalsa FC 2-1. The United Football League’s youth team has participated in the previous edition of SingaCup and their play has always been entertaining. Knowing how their Senior Team has brought the game to the opponents, we are expecting a lot more from this young team. Ceres-La Salle will play Fooktskills (Australia), German European School and SportsCares (both from Singapore) from 7 – 8 Nov 2016.

Chang Thailand Girls U18 (Thailand)
As what the name has suggested, this group of young ladies are probably the best in their age group at the moment in Thailand. With an average age of just 16 years old, this team is made up of mostly Thailand U-16 team representatives. Knowing that the team will be playing against opponents 2 years their senior, the team’s management remains upbeat as they emphasize game exposure is their main objective. Chang Thailand Girls will play Footskills, Walkabout, Mindil Aces (all from Australia), Hong Kah Secondary & SportsCares (both from Singapore).

UST Skills School U12 (Singapore)
Debut outing for the much anticipated team from Singapore. UST, also known as Urban Street Team is a well-known football freestyling group not only excel in football freestyling, they are known for their excellent footwork. Group founders, Terence and Terry also took part in the very first football variety show, First XI where the duo had shown that football freestylers were not just meant for the performing stage, they could be bigger than that on a proper football pitch. Looking forward to their matches and do watch out for the players’ footwork for sure.

Ikhsan Fandi, son of Singapore’s football legend Fandi Ahmad, represented Fandi Ahmad Academy U12 in SingaCup 2011. He finished the tournament as the Most Valuable Player (MVP) as well as the scorer of 4 goals.

Ikhsan was known as a natural goalscorer with a cool head and good technical skills. Together with his elder brother, Irfan Fandi, both of them received glowing reviews from European club scouts and coaches after they impressed at AC Milan’s junior football camp in Malaga, Spain when Ikhsan was just 8yrs old. During Ikhsan’s stint at Milan camp, he showed off his predatory instincts by scoring 10 goals in just two matches! Since then, Ikhsan had been invited to various top clubs’ academy for training in Europe as well as in South America.

In 2013, Ikhsan finished the Football Association of Singapore’s Centre of Excellence (COE) U14 tournament as the top scorer with 16 goals in 18 games. Ikhsan then proceeded to train at Spanish club, Hercules for 3 months, and then represented Singapore in the Asian Youth Games in China in August in the same year. In Sept 2013, Ikhsan Fandi signed for Chilean top flight club, Club Deportivo Universidad Católica (Chile Primera Division) to continue his football development.

In 2015, Ikhsan returned to Singapore to play in the 26th Lion City Cup for the Singapore’s National Football Academy U16 side and scored a famous hat-trick against Liverpool Academy to bring the scores level after the Singapore’s National Football Academy U16 side trailed 3-0 at half time.

In January 2016, Ikhsan signs for Home United after two and a half years in Chile. At this point, Ikhsan had developed into an attacking midfielder that plays behind the striker, leveraging on vision, ball control and dribbling ability to create chances for the team or take the shot himself. Ikhsan made his top flight professional debut for Home United on 14 Feb 2016, in a S.League match against derby rivals Warriors FC that ended in a 2-2 draw.

Born with a great athletic physique and pace, Paolo Gabriel R. Alilam represented Ateneo De Manila University U-18 as a Midfielder/Striker in SingaCup 2011 though he was only a 15yrs old then. As an excellent offensive minded player, Paolo poses a constant threat to all teams especially with his killer pass from midfield.

At the age of 14 years old, Paolo had already caught the attention of the Philippines National Youth Team coach Reff Cauaresma. Represented Philippines U-14, U-16 and U-19 in various international competitions such as AFF U-16 Football Youth Championship in 2011. Paolo also received professional training at Elite Football Academy in England in 2011.

Paolo is currently (2016) playing for Ateneo Blue Eagles, the collegiate men’s varsity football team of Ateneo De Manila University. Ateneo Blue Eagles came in 3rd in 8 teams at the end of the UAAP Season 78 (2015-2016).

Under the watchful eyes of his mentor and coach Hannu Tuukkanen, 16yrs old (2013) Wuttichai “Bell” Sooken has grown and flourished into a polished player.

Having impressed the panellists at SingaCup 2012 where the Boys U-18 MVP Award winner inspired his team, Phuket Youth Football Home (YFH) U-18 to finish as first runner-up behind German European School, the young Thai player was invited to train with Schalke 04 (GER) U-17 and U-19 teams.Jens Keller, Head Coach for Schalke 04 first team was so impressed with Bell during the 2 weeks training stint in year 2012 that he extended a second invitation to the young midfielder to train again with the German team in October 2013.

“Bell has a superb fitness and he could understand and adapt to different type of training methods despite the language barrier. Obviously, there must be a reason why I am inviting him back for training at one of the top clubs in Europe,” said Jens. In fact, Jens is not the only coach full of praises for Bell. Former Germany’s legend and World Cup winner, Uwe Bein has also compliments for the gifted young midfielder.

In 2014, Bell signed his first professional contract with Osotspa M-150 FC (The club was renamed Super Power Samut Prakan F.C in 2016) after playing for the Thailand National Team’s U19 and U21 squads.
