SINGAPORE – After a disappointing debut in the 2024-25 Asian Football Confederation Women’s Champions League (AWCL), the Lion City Sailors have beefed up their squad for what will hopefully be a smoother voyage in the regional competition.

In other AFC Women’s Champions League action, forward Danelle Tan made history on Nov 12, when she became the first Singaporean to score in the tournament.

The 21-year-old scored the only goal in Japanese champions Nippon TV Tokyo Verdy Beleza’s 1-0 win over Group C opponents and 2024 Myanmar Women’s League winners ISPE FC.

Tan scored in the 13th minute with a sublime near-post volley at the Thuwunna Stadium in Yangon. It was also her first goal for Tokyo Verdy since joining the club in July.
