    SAAFC - the Manchester United of Singapore

    Singapore Armed Forces FC should also get an award for playing the most attractive soccer on the island. Now if only they can further their successes in their next chance at Champions League play.

    How well does the Singapore league rank? Is it the best league in the region?

    Competitively (and financially), yes, S-league teams are amongst the best of clubs in the SEA region. But inconsistency has been common for competitors in this region, so one year may belong to the Indonesian team, or the next to the Malay team, et cetera. Pay attention to SAAFC next time 'round, if you are interested in the current "best" of the region.

    Financially, S-League clubs are probably top of the region.

    But competitively? I'm not really sure. S-League only has 12 teams in its league, no promotion/relegation system, and only a few being the dominant teams year after year.

    Compared to Indonesian League, who has 20 teams in its Premier League, and the ladder goes down to First, Second, and even Lower Divisions. Promotion/relegation system works as it should be. Ever since its first inception in 1994, not one team has won the Premier League championship twice.

    Or compare it to Malaysian League with its Premier One and Premier Two divisions.

    Or to Thai League, which is more or less the same.

    SEA League?

    There is a plan which puts a foreign team into the Singapore league.
    It seems that the team of a tie, China, and Indonesia is interested.
