Jalan Besar Stadium - Home of the Lions

Singapore football witnessed a momentous night on Tuesday as Singapore defeated Palestine to go top of Group D in their 2022 World Cup Qualifying campaign.

Played at a sold-out Jalan Besar Stadium which saw over 6,000 fans throng the stadium, the Lions knew they firmly had the 12th man backing them - giving them a major boost to seal the victory.

In a game where tempers were frayed, the home fans made their voices heard as they supported their national team with fervent chants.
