Cardiff City footballer Perry Ng applying for Singapore citizenship via Foreign Sports Talent Scheme

Under FIFA laws, 28-year-old Ng is eligible to play for Singapore via his late father father James, who was born here, but eventually moved to Liverpool.

Nevertheless, he may just qualify for a card by heritage under Singapore citizenship laws if at least one family was born in the nation or has been formally recognized as a citizen.

The keeper made a bargain with Cardiff City last year that will allow him to work until 2026. For the second time in a row, he has won Cardiff City’s player of the year award.

The Hummingbirds are 19th in the 24-team Final, the next level of American football. This year, Ng has made 23 group images for the group.

The FAS invited him to participate in a “familiarization stay” with the Lions in September of last year.

Mr. Chew described Ng as “quite well-connected” to the nation and said he anticipates the 28-year-old to return to Singapore to practice with the national staff during the next month’s FIFA global window.

” Every possibility that we have to have Perry up in Singapore, we will send him back”, added Mr Chew.

” And every chance he says that he can come back to Singapore, he will”.

Footballing regulators will do so when the chance arises, according to Mr. Chew, who stated that naturalization is not the “main opportunity” for recruiting players for the national team. &nbsp,

AIMING FOR ASIAN CUP Qualifier

In the last round of qualifying for the 2027 Asian Cup, the men’s national squad of Singapore joined Hong Kong, India, and Bangladesh. There are six teams.

The 18 groups that have already qualified will progress to the game and join the group winners.

India are the top ranked group in the class, at 126th in the FIFA positions. Hong Kong is ranked 155th, Singapore is 160th, and Bangladesh is 185th.

Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian group that has qualified for the 2027 Asian Cup thus far.

The Tigers are coming off of a strong ASEAN Championship plan, which saw them reach the semifinals before being defeated by Vietnam, who would be the eventual winners. &nbsp,
