immediate impact on the Malaysian Super League when they return
to the competition after an 18-year break on Tuesday.
Singapore's representative side, LionsXII, will host
defending champions Kelantan in front of a sell-out crowd at
Jalan Besar Stadium after fans queued overnight for tickets
during the weekend.
"I know some teams have written us off before a ball has
been kicked, but I think we're more than capable of springing a
few surprises at home," vice-captain Hariss Harun told the
Straits Times on Monday.
The return of Singapore, after the settling of a protracted
feud with Malaysian football authorities, has caused high
excitement in the city-state whose 12-team S-League has been hit
by a series of scandals.
However, some fans have urged fellow supporters not to
abandon the S-League in favour of the Malaysian competition,
which organisers hope will provide an alternative to broadcasts
of the hugely popular English Premier League.
Singapore was a stalwart in the Malaysian league until 1994,
when they walked out in a dispute over gate receipts. But the two
sides have resumed cooperation after striking an agreement last
year.
World body FIFA has repeatedly rebuked the tiny, but
wealthy, Southeast Asian state as a centre for global match-
fixing, while the much-criticised S-League has been plagued by
corruption, financial problems and on-pitch brawls.
