ASEAN Cup: Singapore Fans to Watch Semi-Final Live at Over 10 Venues

Football fans in Singapore who couldn't secure tickets for the upcoming ASEAN Hyundai Cup semi-final will have multiple opportunities to catch the action live. More than 10 venues nationwide are set to broadcast the eagerly anticipated first-leg clash between the Singapore Lions and Thailand this Saturday.

It's not just about the screening; it's about how we can bring the residents together … whereby they will come with their family, friends, and maybe (get to know their) neighbours.

The match, kicking off at 9 pm at Jalan Besar Stadium, has generated immense excitement, with tickets selling out shortly after going on sale. Many supporters reported joining online queues even before sales opened, underscoring the high demand. The Singapore Lions, currently unbeaten in the tournament, secured their semi-final spot after a draw with Indonesia.

We had a very good experience during the World Cup. So good for residents to … take this opportunity to bond together.

To accommodate the enthusiastic fan base, community centers are stepping up to host watch parties. West Coast Community Centre, for example, is preparing to welcome fans, decorating the venue in national colors and providing ample seating. Organizers emphasize that these events are not just about watching the game but also about bringing residents together, encouraging families and friends to bond over their shared passion for football.

Many people (plan to) sit outside the stadium and just hear the sounds and sing the Thai songs.

Thailand will also have a strong presence, with all 250 tickets allocated to the Football Association of Thailand being claimed. For those unable to be inside the stadium, some Thai supporters are planning to gather outside to cheer on their team, demonstrating a widespread enthusiasm for the tournament. These screenings and gatherings aim to capture the electric atmosphere of the semi-final, extending the excitement beyond the stadium.

It is so good that we can see them support (even from) outside the stadium.
