On 18 November, our very own Lions proved that the Singaporean grit pays off. After 43 gruelling years, the team has finally qualified for the Asian Cup based on pure merit, as they secured an advantage over Hong Kong in a 2–1 win.

Our hearts are swelling with pride from this historic win. Congratulations to the team for pushing through! Also, a loud birthday shout out to Captain Hariss Harun, what a special way to celebrate your birthday!
