Eliminatorias Mundial Rusia 2018
01/09/2016
The fixture has been scheduled to mark the Football Association of Singapore’s (FAS) 125-year anniversary, and will see Argentina field a full strength team, set to include their talismanic forward Lionel Messi and star players such as Sergio Agüero, Gonzalo Higuaín and Ángel Di María, in what is being billed the ‘match of the year’.
Organised by FAS and international sport and entertainment promoter UNICESS, the match is part of four-nation tour that will see Argentina play Brazil in Melbourne, Australia on Friday 9th June 2017, with the Socceroos then taking on Brazil in Melbourne on 13 June 2017, the same night as the Singapore fixture.
Speaking about the national team’s chances against such highly rated opposition, National Coach, V. Sundram Moorthy said:
Singapore Football National Coach V. Sundramoorthy
“Argentina are one of the top international teams and have in their squad many world-class players such as Barcelona forward Lionel Messi, Paris Saint-Germain winger Ángel Di María and Manchester City striker Sergio Agüero. FAS has worked very hard to finalise the match, which will benefit our players and coaches in terms of invaluable exposure as well as enhance the level of sporting entertainment for fans in Singapore. I am looking forward to leading my country out against such the two-time FIFA World Cup champions, and we hope that Singaporeans will come out in force to cheer us on. A packed stadium on 13 June will make a huge difference and give our players the boost they need against a team with so many talented world-class players.”
Speaking about the historic occasion, Manu Sawhney, CEO of the Singapore Sports Hub, said:
“We are delighted to host two-time World Cup and 14-time Copa America champions, Argentina, in a friendly match with Singapore Lions at the National Stadium in June. This is a fantastic addition to the vibrant season of football at the Singapore Sports Hub, and lends to the festivities in celebration of the 125th year of the Football Association of Singapore. As a staunch supporter of local football, we have worked hard with our partners to present the football community in Singapore and the region, an opportunity to watch the beautiful game played by one of the top teams and some of the best players in the world today.”
Aiden Kwangik Moon, CEO & Founder of match promoter UNICESS added:
“We are delighted to co-promote this match between Singapore and Argentina to commemorate the 125th anniversary of FAS. The game will not only appeal to fans in Singapore but will attract football fans from Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and other nearby countries and will be a once in a lifetime opportunity to see this generation of Argentinian players compete in Singapore. We look forward to welcoming football fans and families alike as they witness these world-class players in action and create some unforgettable memories.”
