The Singapore Under-22s men’s SEA Games football campaign came under further scrutiny following comments by Singapore National Olympic Council (SNOC) secretary-general Mark Chay. Chay said on Dec. 20 that the Young Lions’ struggles reflected deeper, systemic issues. Referring to the 3-1 defeat to Timor-Leste, Chay stated the players were “outmuscled, outpaced and outlasted”, adding that the shortcomings were not related to a lack of “talent or skill”. Chay also raised concerns regarding the team’s attitude. “The athletes just walked off the field, didn’t even acknowledge the crowd,” he said. FAS General Secretary Badri Ghent responded to Chay’s remarks at a Dec. 26 press conference at Jalan Besar Stadium. #fyp #tiktoksg #football
