There's actually an Asian equivalent of the Conference League called AFC Challenge League. But aside from Malaysia, Thailand and Vietnam, other Southeast Asian (ASEAN) clubs aren't really able to leave much of an impact in Asia, which is why ASEAN organised this competition for their specific region. It's supposed to be a springboard for clubs from the likes of Singapore to build themselves and improve enough to be able to challenge in continental competitions.
The craziest fans in Singapore used to be the Hougang Hools, supporting Hougang. But they've dropped off recently. Not as loud as before and also not as many people. Probably because of a lack of silverware for the longest time.
I'm a Scotsman whose wife is from Singapore so I've been there over 10 times now. Been to a couple of Tampines Rovers matches when I've been out there and it's always good craic. Brilliant country to visit.
Brilliant watch Sam. I live in Thailand now and know that wait for the baggage well, the worry sets in when it doesn't come out and most people have theirs 😂. Love seeing your enthusiasm for all things football in Asia too, have a great trip mate!!!
❤This will be a fantastic series. I have heard many good things about football in South East Asia. The contributor on the BBC 5 World Football Phone in really rate the atmospheres in South East Asia. £7 for a beer!! Bloody hell stick to the Buckfast!
goodness i was the guy beside the guy to ur right and ive been subscribed to u and watched u foe the longest time but for the life of me i didnt recognise u 😂 thanks for featuring our beautiful club. come on you sailors, come on footy adventures!
Hi Sam it was a pleasure to have u here with us yesterday, and hope to see u back here again soon. Just a suggestion if u want to come for another LCS game this szn, is to go for one of the Asian Champions League games. We made it to the knockouts for the first time and in the RO16 we play muangthong united of Thailand. However if we progress the real deal is the possibility of playing Japanese team Sanfrecce Hiroshima, if they too qualify. Catch u next time :)
Great video mate. I'm from Liverpool but I spent 6 months in Singapore back in 2012 coaching kids football. Ive kept updated with football over there since. You can watch all the league games on UA-cam. Unfortunately the team Id go watch (woodlands Wellington) don't exist anymore. Beautiful country great people, Unfortunately alot of issues with football over there. Be nice if every team had their own stadium to call home for a start. It's a massive part of every clubs identity.
Sam thank you for covering South East Asia football scene. As a Malaysian football fanatics im really appreciate to see Mat Salleh ( Whites ) like you doing this. Cheers from KL mate. YNWA too 👍🏻
Awww man I visited Singapore last year during a break in league play. Hope to see a game there and in the national stadium as well soon. The sailors kit looks cool as well!
There is actually an AFC Challenge League, which is the real equivalent to conference league in Asia, but that features only certain clubs from the lower-ranked federations. Shopee Cup is more of a Super League(or Unify League as it is now called😅) for the Southeast Asia Countries .
@zacharywuxuan8117 I knew that, and it was mentioned in the video too, would definitely look forward to their match against Muangthong. Beside than Muangthong, LCS will also play other Thai sides such as Buriram United and BG Pathum United soon, all those games would be fascinating too.
Funny I watched the highlights of this game the other day and thought this is where Sam did his video sometime back ,and hear you are back on this side of the World . If your a masochist re travelling you should come to Cebu and watch Dynamic Herb Cebu FC when the Philippines Football League starts up again ( regular season starts in February with the final in November ) the standard is not as great but players and fans are as committed to the game and being a United /Hereford/ Celtic fan I bloody love the league .😎
You need to go one step further for Sydney FC v Western Sydney Wanderers, or the Melbourne derby ( Victory v City) & there is now NZ derby in the A League Auckland v Wellington
I had a connection to Singapore going to Australia in 2012 and had some unopened cocodamol still with the pharmacy sticker on it the lot, got pulled in by the police for 6 hours interrogated and had to get a guy from the consulate down, luckily it was late at night in Singapore and they were able to speak to my doctor in Scotland. Absolutely mental 😂
1:10 the Shopee Cup is more similar to the old Texaco Cup from the 70s. AFC Champions League ELITE = Champions League Champions League Two = Europa League Challenge League = Conference League #fwiw
good video mate, if you ever consider coming to Taiwan for a Asian cup qualifier (don't bother with the league) I will meet you and help you sort tickets and that and make sure you end up in the end with the little section of Taiwan ultras. Taiwan also has an English manager now (Gary White) and they are getting a lot of dual national players so I think they could cause a couple of shocks. As an added bonus if they play in Kaohsiung you will also get to see one the biggest solar powered stadiums going
Mate you should try coming to watch the cambodian premier league or a cambodian national team match and experience the atmosphere! Definitely recommend watching a phnom penh crown match and preah khan reach svay rieng match because those are the biggest clubs in the league
Well done Sam, looks like a superb Asian trip. Suntory Premium only a £1 in Tokyo when we were there in September so have you got a stop in Japan lined up?
That singaporean pint price... Just wow, the same amount of beer here in Rio is like 0,70£. Our streets aren't clean, but we have a rich football tour covering like 50 teams and more than 20 stadiums in the metropolis radius, fighting from the 5th division of the state championship and the 4th national division to continental competitions like Copa Libertadores, Intercontinental and FIFA Club World Cup =)
I saw you yesterday but i didn’t want to approach u in case it was the wrong person, but indeed it was u all along! Miss the chance to say hi. Hope u enjoyed the match 👍🏽
get yourself to Perth for the new Distance Derby pal. first time Perth Glory and Auckland play each other and become the longest competitive league game in football. Games tomorrow night and i'll even get the first pint in tomorrow at the game! comon, its history!
Don't underestimate Maxime Lestienne despite the horrible corner, he's 1 of our best players and hasn't played since the ASEAN Mitsubishi Electric Cup started, so he outperformed that day
Funnily enough LCS are probably the most hated local club in SG, considering their private ownership means they have much bigger wallets than the rest of the league, letting them buy European players to dominate.
It's a privately held club with no locality. They don't have an identity like other traditional clubs that have a home in different towns and regions. But LCS have the money so I guess in the modern game that's what matters.
8:20 Singapore was a part of Malaysia but they were kicked out of Malaysia i bet you've never heard of something like that in political history before.
1:01 Way better, it's "Ahhh-say-yan"! Also, the sponsor is also the owner of Lion City Sailors but I have known that sponsor for scamming products. 4:49 I swear it's like summer when I went there. 5:25 Nops, it's Cheers. Sorry, mate! 5:33 lolololololol 6:28 It is said that the bas persiaran in Malay means "the bus where the Persian runs" 8:28 Singapore was evicted from the Federation of Malaya against their will back in '65 due to racial differences. They want unity amongst races but Malaysia wants a Malay priority then. 14:24 I feel you. It was horrible scran, just like Shopee.
i dont know why you came mate. If you want the best atmosphere, you're 30 years late bro. Back then our national team played at the National Stadium in the Malaysia Premier League and Malaysia Cup. Thats was the heydays. The stadium was always full and the match would be live. If we score, you can can hear all the neighbours in neighbouring HDB flats cheering. I really miss those days. Kids would be playing football under the HDB void decks and basketball courts. Now its all gone to shit. Why? Because the FAS took the decision to withdraw from the Malaysia League and tried to build its own S league. I still remember the FAS had a goal 2010 project, to qualify for the 2010 World Cup. What a joke.
Lion city are my second team behind Preston North end but this isn't the Asian version of the conference league as that's the Asian champions league 2 which lion city have made through to the knockout stages
The Challenge League is the Asian Version of the conference league, but the ASEAN Club Championship is in-between. The ACL2 is the Asian Europa League.
@nicholasleow6692 ahhh sorry yeah the Asian champions league 2 is the Asian version of the Europa league although champions league 2 is a ridiculous name to be fair

In my opinion Johor
Pss sleman
FC Seoul
Mohun bagan super giants in India..... We have 60k fans in ISL matches and it's insane
Aberdeen! Not even a joke, ha. Mate, I've messaged you via my new Instagram account. I'm due in Singapore this weekend.

The AFC Challenge League is the Conference League of Asia because it includes all of Asia.
The ASEAN Club Championship is a rung below that

you were lucky to watch the match on 9 Jan.. it has been raining all day for 3 consecutive days since 10 Jan!!
Sam, you should nip down to Adelaide for Adelaide United v Melbourne Victory next weekend, only a short 7 hour flight from Singapore!
Mate that 12 SGD beer is very reasonable for here! Go and try a craft beer near where you are staying at Rob Quay and see the cost! (20-25 SGD)

Funnily enough LCS are probably the most hated local club in SG, considering their private ownership means they have much bigger wallets than the rest of the league, letting them buy European players to dominate.
As long as the coefficient is on the right track, those detractors won't have much effect here.
I think there is a good case to say they are the most hated, and also the most supported!

Hi Sam will you be taking in a BG game when you are in Thailand?
Only thing that comes to mind when I see shoopee is cristiano ‘s ad with them 😂
I was at Jalan Besar Stadium
This competition was supposed to involve the league champions of all ASEAN countries but some of them didn't wish to compete due to other competitions
Did those countries get knocked out group stage of a recent competition by any chance ?
Friendly rivalry between Malaysian and Singaporean fans? There were many times that fights nearly happened between the 2 groups of fans
