SINGAPORE — Singapore men’s under-22 football team will not participate in the upcoming Hangzhou Asian Games, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) said on Tuesday (July 11).

FAS said the Asian Games falls outside the FIFA window and takes place in the same month as the 2024 AFC under-23 Asian Cup qualifiers. Mr Bernard Tan, acting president of the FAS, said: “The past few weeks, the FAS has gone through a period of introspection, and we are right now in the midst of implementing the recommendations from the recent SEA Games review.”
Singapore women’s team will continue to participate in the Asian Games, which was postponed from September 2022 because of the Covid-19 pandemic.The proposals from the review included giving young players more game time in the Singapore Premier League and providing the men's under-23 and under-22 sides with access to the resources of the full-fledged national"A" team.
