The Singapore team entered the semi-finals of ASEAN Cup 2026 with a stable professional foundation and confidence after the group stage.
Coach Gavin Lee's team has only suffered 1 defeat in the last 10 official matches. Among them, noteworthy is the 0-0 draw against Vietnam at My Dinh Stadium.
Singapore's certainty comes from the squad organization. Above, Ilhan Fandi is the most prominent name with 3 goals after the group stage. This striker becomes an important destination in Singapore's quick counter-attack situations.
Behind Ilhan Fandi is a very experienced defense system. Goalkeeper Izwan Mahbud and center-back Hariss Harun play an important role in maintaining formation distance and limiting space in front of the goal.
Singapore's challenge in the semi-finals will be significantly greater when the opponent is Thailand. Coach Anthony Hudson's team is the only team to win all matches in the group stage, successively defeating Laos 5-0, Malaysia 2-0, Philippines 1-0 and Myanmar 2-0.
Notably, the "War Elephants" have not conceded a goal after 4 matches, and have many players scoring together. This shows that the national team's attack does not depend on any individual, but instead on diverse attacking options.
Singapore has the home advantage in the first leg, but Thailand also has an impressive group stage record and is a candidate for the championship.
The first leg of the ASEAN Cup 2026 semi-final between the two teams takes place at 8:00 PM on August 15th, broadcast live on FPT Play, TV360 and VTV6 channel.
