ASEAN Super League in the works, says FAS
ASEAN Super League in the works, says FAS
An all new ASEAN Super League is set to kick off in 2016, pending approval by world governing body FIFA. The league will span nine months, with each of the 10 ASEAN nations guaranteed a place.
This was revealed by Football Association of Singapore president Zainudin Nordin at the association's Annual General Meeting on Friday (Sep 12) evening.
"We have also presented our project to FIFA. And they are looking at it in detail, and we'll be having a sales discussion with them soon. Subsequently, after we have got the clearance, we are confident we are able to move this project forward, to ensure that we are able to come up with a very good quality professional league for the good of ASEAN," Mr Zainudin said.
Separately, he announced that the association is looking for a new Technical Director, following the resignation of Slobodan Pavkovic. The Serb had joined FAS in 2008 and had been working to enhance its youth development programmes, through the National Football Academy (NFA) and Junior Centres of Excellence.
He is leaving to pursue other opportunities, the association said. The 58-year-old said his time with FAS has been a "rewarding journey", but that it is time for him to explore possibilities with other clubs in Singapore or in the region.
"“Personally, I am deeply heartened by the development of our players who have progressed through our youth development system," he said, taking stock of his tenure. He noted that the likes of Adam Swandi and Irfan Fandi Ahmad have been singled out for praise by foreign football coaches and officials at international competitions such as the Lion City Cup.
Others who have progressed from the National Football Academy age-groups and caught the attention of foreign coaches and scouts, include Harriss Harun, Safuwan Baharudin and Iqbal Hussain, he said.
"We have a good pool of talented and intelligent players and I firmly believe that more will be presented with the opportunity to play overseas if we receive more support and resources to send our players to play more top-level international matches and also to train at quality facilities and pitches."
