Overview

  • The Asian Football Confederation (AFC) has granted provisional approval for Bishan Stadium to host the AFC Champions League Two final on May 18 at 8 pm.
  • A final inspection and formal approval by the AFC are expected in early May, with upgrades and preparations underway to meet hosting requirements.
  • The Lion City Sailors made history on April 16 by becoming the first Singaporean team to reach a continental final after defeating Sydney FC 2-1 on aggregate.
  • Sharjah FC objected to the previously proposed Jalan Besar Stadium due to its artificial pitch and limited capacity of 6,000 seats, prompting the venue change.
  • The National Stadium is unavailable for the final due to a prior booking for a Lady Gaga concert, highlighting logistical challenges in securing a suitable venue.
