The brand-new Singapore football kits were unveiled at Weston Singapore's 313@Somerset outlet with players and fans in attendance
SINGAPORE, 27 SEPTEMBER 2024 - Players from Singapore’s Men’s and Women’s National Teams were in attendance at the special launch event to reveal their latest uniforms to fans. Joining them were several winners of the #BeTheRoar contest on Instagram who scored exclusive invites to the event, allowing them an up close and personal look at the fresh threads modelled by Faris Ramli, Glenn Kweh, Ryhan Stewart, Farhanah Ruhaizat, Nurhidayu Naszri and Singapore Women’s National Team captain Rosnani Azman.
The Lions will debut the latest jersey on their training tour of Japan from 5-15 October 2024 where Tsutomu Ogura’s charges will face three top-tier J-League sides as part of their preparations for the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup (AMEC) 2024 in December.
The Singapore Women’s National Team will have the honour of being the first team to debut the new look at an international tournament. The Lionesses will don the colours at the ASEAN Women’s Championship 2025 Qualifiers that will take place in Laos in November.
Women’s National Team skipper Rosnani said: “Being the first team to put on this jersey at a
tournament is truly an honour that represents our hard work and dedication. We will wear it with pride in Laos and we hope to create many memorable moments wearing this new kit.”
The 2024 home kit stands out with Nike’s bold Challenge Red colour embodying the tenacious Singaporean spirit. Chlorine Blue pierces through the side panels of the shirt representing Singapore’s identity as a small island nation relentless in her pursuit to make a global impact. The National Flag symbols – a white crescent moon and five white stars – adorn the nape of the shirt, evoking pride every time the Lions and Lionesses line up for the Majulah Singapura National Anthem before each game.
Men’s National Team winger Faris said: “Personally, I am looking forward to the first time we hear the National Anthem in our new jerseys at the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup. It will be a moment that reminds us that we are playing for something much bigger. We want to represent Singapore and the fans to the best of our abilities and inspire the nation.”
Embracing a modern sports identity, the 2024 away kit features a contemporary graphic inspired by Singapore’s ever-changing architectural landscape. Chlorine Blue and Marina colours capture the essence of the surrounding waters as a reminder of the continuous striving for excellence even when playing away from home.
Lions defender Ryhan said: “The National Team shirt is a symbol of pride and identity. Not just for the football players but for anyone associated with Singapore. It’s become common to see our people wear the Singapore jersey outside the stadiums. You see Singaporeans rocking the kits abroad at international events and music festivals. With its striking colours, I’m sure we will see a lot more people wear the Singapore jerseys.”
This is also the first Singapore jersey launch campaign involving players and fans. Alvin Tan was one of the first people to wear the new Singapore jersey back in August when he was invited to the secret promotional shoot. This is part of an FAS-wide move to deepen the relationship with Singapore fans, a move that has already seen National Team Head Coach Tsutomu Ogura invite some official fan groups in the fraternity to watch a senior Lions’ training session at the Kallang Football Hub in October.
Fans can purchase both the new home and away Singapore National Team jerseys at the FAS Store and all Weston stores now. For the first time, youth-sized jerseys will be available, exclusively at Weston stores.
