We hope this training centre pushes the football scene a bit further along that journey.” He also pointed to the Kallang Football Hub, which will serve as the training centre for the national teams and is part of the new Kallang Alive precinct, as another exciting development.

Lion City Sailors Unveils S$10M Training Centre At MacPherson ... (Must Share News)

Lion City Sailors unveiled its brand new S$10 million training facility in MacPherson, which houses 5 pitches, a gym, and physio room.

The gym follows an open concept, with considerably fewer fitness machinery than commercial gyms. With facilities like this, we also hope the standard of football in Singapore will rise to match the enthusiasm of those who love the sports here. Besides the first team, the training academy also accommodates younger footballers in the Football School and Football Academy. The first of its kind in Singapore, the integrated training facility houses physiotherapy rooms, a gym, and an analysis room to develop and look after players in a holistic manner. Inspired by the “best practices” of European football clubs, the new LCS training centre aims to support and develop its players on and off the pitch. However, such infrastructure and ecosystems are key to a club’s performance and also to the sustainability of the team.

Football: Albirex keep SPL title race alive with 4-2 win over Lion City ... (The Straits Times)

Albirex Niigata forward Tadanari Lee beating Lion City Sailors goalkeeper Hassan Sunny to score Albirex's fourth goal at Jurong East Stadium.

Albirex remain second on the table behind the Sailors, but are only two points adrift and have a game in hand. In the 38th minute, Tanaka once again got the better of Adli when he took advantage of the space afforded to him to curl a shot into the top corner of Hassan Sunny's goal. Named in the starting line-up for just the fifth time this season to add some steel in the middle of the park, he found himself on the end of a cut-back by Diego Lopes and volleyed home past Takahiro Koga.
