If the National Stadium is Singapore football's big stage, Jalan Besar Stadium is its living room. Squeezed into the streets between Lavender and Bendemeer, the 7,100-capacity ground puts fans close enough to hear the players call for the ball, and it has hosted Lions internationals, cup finals and plenty of nights worth remembering.
Whether you are heading down for a Lions friendly, a Singapore Cup final or your first live match, here is your matchday guide to Jalan Besar Stadium.
