every footballer dreams of playing in, and even winning, the World Cup.With the ongoing Women's World cup boosting the popularity of the women's game, a generation of girls are being inspired to emulate players in the same way as Marta of Brazil and Alex Morgan of the united States and shine on the world stage.One girl paying close attention to the matches in France is Chen Wan Xin, whose football hope started 15 years ago, in the same way as she was 12. Her football then was played during recess, but her teammates were every boys. No additional girl in Chung Cheng high scholarly (Main) was interested."I didn't know that girls played football because there was no women's football shown on TV and YouTube was not as well-liked as now," she recalled."I was breathing in a bubble, not knowing that there was girls' football. every along, I thought I was playing a 'boy's sport'." quick dispatch to the present.Football has become Chen's good passion. She is the captain of home United's women's team and then an government in grassroots and women's football at the Football association of Singapore (FAS).Her journey mirrors the local women's football scene at various levels.She was the rare girl who played the sport: An FAS survey of primary scholarly pupils in 2014 noted nearly one in two children want to perform football. But deserted 5.9 per cent of boys and 1.6 per cent of girls actually do.That prompted the FAS to begin its first all-girl training centres for those aged five to 12 at Bowen and Queensway additional Schools a year later, in the same way as a combination intake of very nearly 30.A third middle will be launched at Meridian additional scholarly next month.FAS general commissioner for grassroots and women's football, Julie Teo, 56, said: "We wish to accumulation the number of players who may be nurtured and selected for the national teams, even if then increasing the level of professionalism and marketability of women's football to attract sponsors for the domestic leagues and competitions."Promising players at these FAS centres are placed in an Under-12 increase squad that was formed last year.There are then U-14 and U-16 teams that accessory the U-19 and national senior sides.The domestic league has been expanded in the last few years. There are now very nearly 400 amateur players from 15 clubs playing in the Women's National League and top-tier Women's Premier League, stirring from eight teams in 2016.National midfielder Putri Nur Syaliza, 16, who started playing football in the same way as she was four, emphasised the importance of the programmes."It's fine that women's football is having a lot of mini tournaments and games for the younger ones to enjoy and get more playing experience," she said."It's then fine that they begin developing players from a young person age, so... they can have a fine foundation."STILL A perform IN PROGRESS
Despite the establishment of more national age-group teams, opportunities for teens players - particularly those from the additional schools - are limited.Thirteen teams participated in this year's Schools National girls' B unfriendliness competition compared to more than 80 in the boys' category.For those girls aged from 13 to 17 who want to perform regularly, they are in limbo - too obsolete for the FAS centres and too young person for the amateur clubs that usually accomplish not have a teens programme.Home united women's team head coach Azrulnizam Shah Sohaimi, 35, said: "More attention has to be paid to the bottom of the pyramid. If we can have 20-30 teams playing, it will create a better base of players and drive stirring standards."BAKING COOKIES
Financial sustain is substitute obstacle.According to the FAS' annual relation for 2017-2018, the sum amount spent on women's football was $266,877, compared to the $472,335 budget for government the 23-team men's National Football League.There was a propos no budget in the same way as Azrulnizam wanted to begin a women's team at home united in 2016, and it was a worry just to acquire basic training items."Thankfully I have friends who are coaches too and they had spare equipment in the same way as balls and bibs (which we borrowed)," he said.To fund a training vacation to Thailand, the team baked cookies and raised $5,000 to subsidise the costs.Another oft-cited sickness is the dearth of media coverage.There were 133 print articles very nearly Singapore men's football in The Straits mature last year and just five on women's football.Former national left-back Nur Aniqah Imana Azman, 28, noted this was the first mature she has been interviewed.The Simei united FC artiste said: "The media plays a huge part in promoting women's football and it should be highlighted just as much as men's football."Marketing and sustain from FAS should be equal for both teams as well. They shouldn't just focus on the men's team but then publicize the women's team equally."BACK FROM THE WILDERNESS
Things are at least looking stirring for the national women's team.In January 2015, they played their first international friendly in two years. in the past then, they have been in action in 26 games.Last year, the FAS, in the same way as European governing body Uefa's support, hosted an international quadrangular involving the national teams of Indonesia, Luxembourg and Maldives.After an all-time low of No. 141 in 2015, the Singapore women's team were ranked as high as 89th in 2017. They are now 120th in the sports ground of 155.The squad, crucially, are then much younger in the same way as an average age of 21. These lively faces put up to to lift standards, said national centre-back Charmaine Lim, 29."The younger players bring a stand-in set of challenges to competitions, even in local leagues, and in the same way as more of them, it means that fighting for a turn in the national squad will be more competitive."National captain Angelyn Pang, 28, said the team's next object is to qualify for the SEA Games for the first mature in the past 2003."It may seem in the same way as an uphill task but we'll be in action hard to improve from our in the same way as matches in the same way as reach a decision analyses and corrective training," she added.For FAS' Teo, the perform never ends. The organisation, she said, has been "conducting outreach programmes in schools to introduce women's football and put up to participation in the sport".She added: "We will continue to perform in the same way as the schools to provide sustain in coaching, training sessions and clinics." additional reporting by Laura Chia
