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.
