The Lion City Sailors’ Singapore Cup Group B clash against Geylang International, originally set for Sunday, 2 March, has been rescheduled to Thursday, 27 March, 8.30pm, at the Jalan Besar Stadium.

The change allows the Sailors to optimise their preparations for their ongoing Asian Football Confederation Champions League (ACL) Two campaign, where they will face Japan’s Sanfrecce Hiroshima in the quarter-finals.

The first leg of the ACL Two tie will take place at the Edion Peace Wing Hiroshima on Wednesday, March 5, before the teams meet again for the return leg at the Jalan Besar Stadium exactly a week later on March 12.

The Sailors sit second in Group B of the Singapore Cup after an opening 4-1 win over Tanjong Pagar United and will next face Balestier Khalsa on March 16. The holders will then take on the Eagles on March 27, before concluding the group stage three days later (March 30) against Thai League 1 side BG Pathum United.

The Sailors extend our appreciation to Geylang International and the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) for accommodating the rescheduling, as we continue striving to represent Singapore with pride on the continental stage.
