Cardiff City's Perry Ng Pursues Singapore National Team Dream

Ng begins training with Singapore's Lions, aiming to represent the country despite citizenship challenges.

  • Perry Ng trained with Singapore's national team for the first time, hoping to play internationally through his paternal grandfather's heritage.
  • Ng faces citizenship hurdles due to Singapore's law against dual nationality, requiring him to renounce his British passport.
  • The Football Association of Singapore invited Ng for a 'familiarisation stint' to integrate him with the team and assess his commitment.
  • Ng's effort is supported by the Foreign Sports Talent scheme, which aids non-Singaporeans with exceptional abilities in gaining citizenship.
  • Alongside Ng, Japanese-born Kyoga Nakamura is also seeking Singaporean citizenship to join the national team.
