The Singapore Women’s national team, the Lionesses, will host Bangladesh at Jalan Besar Stadium at 7.30pm on Saturday 5 December 2026. Tickets cost S$15 for adults and S$7.50 for concessions, and go on sale online only at 10am on Sunday 15 November.
The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) announced the two international ‘A’ friendlies on 12 November. The first, at Bishan Stadium on Tuesday 1 December, is behind closed doors, so the Saturday game is the only one fans can attend. Both kick off at 7.30pm.
Tickets and getting in
- Adults: S$15
- Concession: S$7.50, for students aged 16 and below and seniors aged 60 and above with a valid concession card
- Ticketing fee: S$1 per ticket on top of both prices
- Sales: from 10am on Sunday 15 November, at fas.org.sg/tickets only
There is no box office and no ticket sales at the stadium on matchday, so buy in advance. Home supporters sit at the North Gate and away supporters at the South Gate. The nearest MRT stations are Lavender on the East-West Line and Bendemeer on the Downtown Line.
A wide gap in the rankings
Singapore are 151st in the FIFA Women’s World Ranking and Bangladesh are 106th, and both December games count towards the ranking. The sides last met in Dhaka in December 2023, when Bangladesh won both friendlies, 3-0 and 8-0.
These are the Lionesses’ first home matches of the year, and head coach Mihoko Ishida’s first in charge at home. The squad will be named later.
“While Bangladesh are ranked considerably higher, we see these matches as a platform to understand more clearly what we need to do and where we need to improve,” Ishida said. “Our approach does not change: instead of focusing on the opponent, we focus on ourselves and play our football.”
Building towards 2027
The window is preparation for two tournaments next year: the ASEAN Women’s Championship in April and the SEA Games in Malaysia in September. Singapore earned the ASEAN place in July, drawing 1-1 with Cambodia in the AFF Women’s Cup third-place play-off in Kuala Lumpur and winning the shoot-out 4-3. Danelle Tan scored Singapore’s goal that night, her fourth of the tournament, which made her its top scorer.
Ishida pointed to the turnout at October’s Women’s Football Week. “I have seen the growing support for women’s football, from the players in our domestic league to our U16 girls, and I hope you will join us at Jalan Besar Stadium to keep that going,” she said.
