Singapore national under-16 football team

The Singapore national youth football team, nicknamed the Cubs, can refer to either of the following teams: the Under-16 team that represented the nation in the inaugural Youth Olympic Games and the Lion City Cup, and the Under-15s, which also took part in the Lion City Cup, and also the AFF U16 Championship. The youth team's honours include bronze for the YOG, second and third places for the Lion City Cup (the former being the U16s and the latter being the U15s). The team is also one of the favourites in Singapore sport as of 2011.

Background

Breakthrough

For many, the 2010 YOG team of Singapore seemed to be one of the best youth sides in recent memory, but they lost the semi-final 2–0 to Haiti youth team, the eventual silver medallists.[1] They beat Montenegro in the third-place playoffs to clinch the bronze medal.

Lion City Cup

In 2011, when Singapore revived the Lion City Cup, another team emerged from the shadows – the Under-15 team. The YOG side, though skipper Lightfoot was absent, played under a new coach: Takuma Koga. They grabbed second and third places (U16s – 2nd; U15s – 3rd), beating the youth sides (U15) of Juventus, Everton and Newcastle United.[2]

Jeffrey Lightfoot of the U16s was called up, but he injured himself and was unfortunately ruled out for the whole campaign, leaving Dhukhilan Jeevamani to stand in as captain, and Illyas Lee as vice-captain.

The years

Youth Olympics – The Road To Bronze (2010)

2010 marked the breakthrough for the Under-15 team as they went through the Youth Olympic Games, held in their own home, comfortably. They managed to get through the semi-finals before succumbing to a defeat against Haiti,[3] who eventually lost the final and got second. Singapore then beat Montenegro 4–1 to grab third place, bronze.

Fashah Rosedin Iskandar at the Bronze Medal match between Montenegro and the Singapore 2010-generation U15s.

This match involved a lot of controversy, with a few Montenegro players accused of diving. Drawn 1–1, Singapore came back and eventually won the match 4–1.

Lion City Cup: Under-16s journey (2011)

As Under-16s, the ones who wholeheartedly fought for the bronze at the Youth Olympics, a lot was expected from them in the Lion City Cup. Though captain Jeffrey Lightfoot was absent with an injury, they managed to pull through to get first runners-up for the competition under temporary captain Dhukhilan Jeevamani.[4] They also went with new coach Takuma Koga.

Fashah Rosedin, or Fashah Iskandar (whichever you want to call him) was the most outstanding player that night against Flamengo. Sadly, Caio Rangel and his other Samba football fellows proved to be better, bringing the game to penalties where they won.

Lion City Cup: Under-15s journey (2011)
