Faris Ramli Recalled to Singapore National Team Ahead of World Cup Qualifiers

Singapore national team forward Faris Ramli has been handed a recall to the squad, giving him the opportunity to make an impact on the pitch after missing out on recent matches. The 31-year-old, who plays for BG Tampines Rovers, has expressed his desire to translate his impressive club form to the international stage. Faris, who has scored 11 goals in 77 appearances for his country, acknowledged that being left out of the previous squads served as a wake-up call, prompting him to work harder to earn his place back.

Under the new leadership of coach Tsutomu Ogura, the Lions will face China in upcoming World Cup qualifiers on March 21 and 26. Faris emphasized the importance of representing Singapore on the international stage and expressed his eagerness to contribute to the team’s success. The squad selected by Ogura features a mix of experience and youth, with four uncapped players hoping to make their international debut.

Among the new additions to the squad are BG Tampines’ Jared Gallagher and Young Lions fullback Fairuz Fazli, as well as Thailand-based midfielder Harhys Stewart and Lion City Sailors goalkeeper Zharfan Rohaizad. Ogura has made six changes to the previous squad, with a focus on balancing experience and fresh talent. The Singapore-based players will join the coaching team on March 11, while overseas-based players will link up with the squad at a later date.

Faris expressed optimism about the team’s prospects under the guidance of the new coach, highlighting the players’ excitement to learn and implement Ogura’s philosophy. The forward, along with his teammates, is looking forward to the upcoming matches and aims to make a positive impact for Singapore. With a renewed sense of determination and focus, Faris and the rest of the squad are determined to put on a strong performance in the upcoming fixtures.

The Lions squad boasts a blend of goalkeepers, defenders, midfielders, and forwards, showcasing the depth and versatility within the team. As preparations for the upcoming matches intensify, Singapore fans eagerly anticipate Faris Ramli and his teammates taking to the field with a renewed sense of purpose and determination as they strive for success on the international stage.
