The 2024–25 season is Albirex Niigata Singapore FC's 21st consecutive season in the top flight of Singapore football[1][2] and in the S.League, having joined the Sleague in 2004. Along with the 2024–25 Singapore Premier League, the club will also compete in the Singapore Cup. The team is in transition to a local outfit from the 2024 season, which mean that they will have to abide by the same competition rules as local teams, including the foreign player quota.[3][4]

The female team will be playing in the Women's Premier League (Singapore).

Season Overview

Heading into the new season, the team faced a void left by the retirement of veteran ex-Japan International Tadanari Lee.[5] To shore up their title defense, they brought in seasoned campaigner Yojiro Takahagi, who boasts 3 caps for the Japan national team, and promising youngster SteviaEgbus Mikuni, a former Japan youth international.[6][7]

They also welcomed back some faces, which include Daniel Goh, a Singapore international, Gareth Low and Shuhei Hosinho, who bring a wealth of experience and a connection to the club's past.[8]

In addition, former Singapore youth internationals, Dylan Pereira, Arshad Shamim, Haziq Kamarudin, Syukri Bashir & Idraki Adnan also join the ranks.
