SINGAPORE — Ms Beatrice Tan cannot recall the number of times she has heard the word"kitchen" being uttered every time the subject of women's football was being discussed.
Another occasion was when she was in a taxi on the way home after a training session with Tanjong Pagar United Women's team, her club at the time. The national women’s team also had their first ticketed international matches last year, when they played against Seychelles and Papua New Guinea in the FAS Tri-Nations Series.
“We also do see good attendance at the WPL, with the clubs' fan clubs like Albirex, Lion City Sailors and Tampines.”"The main difference is that men's football is professional while women's are still amateur. Also, there is a vast difference in the numbers of female versus male players," Ms Teo said.
For the 16-year-old, her football commitments mean she has to manage deadlines for her school assignments.she trains up to seven days a week while constantly juggling a heavy workload as an international baccalaureate student at the Methodist Girls’ School.“For me, I choose to put football first, and it’s something that not a lot of them understand because they think there is no pathway for football in Singapore.
