Teddy Tjahjono, representing Bakti Olahraga Djarum Foundation and Program Director of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge, said the positive result was an important part of the process of developing girls’ football from an early age.
He said MilkLife Strikers’ participation in Singa Cup 2026 gives the best players of the MilkLife Soccer Challenge All-Stars 2025/2026 the chance to gain match experience at international level.
Singa Cup is an early-age football tournament held in Singapore since 2011. The 2026 edition has 136 teams from 13 countries.
MilkLife Strikers are playing in the Girls U12 category with three other teams in Group A. The competition is a round-robin from 1 to 3 November 2026. The top two teams will go through to the final, while the other two will play for third place.
The win over Lion City Sailors gives MilkLife Strikers three points and puts them in contention at the top of the table with Selangor FC Academy A, who also have three points.
Next, MilkLife Strikers face Nepal’s representative, Rato Bangala School, on Monday (2 November 2026) at The Rainforest Hub, Singapore.

SingaCup 2026 | Tournament Jury Decision
Issued: 31 October 2026, 10:10 SGT
| Match | U10 C9: Stellar Football Academy (India) vs Munich Football School (Singapore) |
| Date / Time | Saturday, 31 October 2026, 10:00 |
| Venue | Pitch 2, The Rainforest Sports Hub |
| Teams concerned | Stellar Football Academy (India) |
| Incident | Team not ready to play at the scheduled kick-off time |
| Decision | Walkover. Munich Football School awarded a 3–0 win. |
Facts
Stellar Football Academy did not present at the appointed time and venue for the scheduled 10:00 kick-off of U10 Match C9.
So that both teams still got their football, the two sides later played the match as an unofficial game. The score of that game does not count toward the official result or the group standings.
Applicable rules
- Rule 12.3, Before game: “All teams must be ready to play at the prescribed kickoff time. It is the duty of the team managers to ensure that their team is ready to play at this time.”
- Rule 17, Walk Over: “Any team who fails to appear at the appointed time and venue for a match without a valid reason will be subjected to a 3-0 walkover, after a decision by the jury.”
- Rule 14, Tournament jury: The jury is the Tournament Director, Chief Referee (Asia) and Chief Referee (Europe). “Their decisions cannot be appealed.”
Decision
After reviewing the matter, the Tournament Jury has ruled that U10 Match C9 is a 3–0 walkover win to Munich Football School (Singapore). The official result and the U10 Group C standings reflect this decision.
Note
SingaCup thanks both teams for their sportsmanship in still playing the game together. We remind all teams to arrive 1 hour before kick-off, and no later than 30 minutes before (Rule 12.3), so every match starts on time.
