SINGAPORE, 17 NOVEMBER 2025 – The Singapore Women’s National Team will return to international action this month with two Women’s ‘A’ International Matches against Seychelles.
The first fixture, scheduled for Tuesday, 25 November 2025, will be held behind closed doors. Both sides will then meet again three days later at Bukit Gombak Stadium. Kick-off is at 7.30pm, with ticketing details to be announced soon.
The Lionesses last faced the 174th-ranked Seychelles in 2022, recording a 6-2 victory. This month’s matches mark their first meeting in three years and serve as the team’s final preparations ahead of the 2025 SEA Games in Chonburi, Thailand next month.
At the SEA Games, Singapore will compete in Group A alongside hosts Thailand, Cambodia, and Indonesia. The match schedule will be announced at the earliest opportunity.
Lionesses Head Coach Karim Bencherifa is looking forward to testing his charges in the final stretch leading up to December’s SEA Games.
“These two matches are an important part of our final preparation phase as we build momentum and confidence for our SEA Games campaign next month. Our main goal is to consolidate the work we’ve done,” said Bencherifa.
“We want to test certain combinations, strengthen our team identity, and ensure that every player clearly understands her role.”
The 57-year-old also acknowledged the challenge posed by Seychelles, who are led by former Singapore international Chris Yip-Au, noting that her familiarity with Singaporean football adds another dimension to the contest.
“We have great respect for Chris and the work she’s doing with Seychelles. The team has improved significantly under her, and her understanding of the Singaporean style makes this matchup even more interesting,” said Bencherifa.
“We expect a disciplined, hardworking team that will try to make things difficult for us. For us, it’s about staying focused on our own structure and applying our principles consistently throughout both matches.”
As the Lionesses gear up for their final home appearance of the year, Bencherifa hopes to see strong support from fans as the team builds towards the SEA Games.
“We’re very grateful for the support we’ve received every time we play at home — we feel the energy from the fans, and it truly motivates the players,” he said.
“As we head into the SEA Games, we want to make Singapore proud through our hard work, discipline, and fighting spirit. I hope our supporters continue to believe in this team and follow our journey closely.”
