We are bringing soccer back and are recruiting all footie enthusiasts to come together to form the EA football team. We’re looking for players – for all positions and from all ages from five to 24 – with a serious passion for the Beautiful Game. If you think you can bend it like Beckham or move like Messi, we want to hear from you.
We are also on the look-out for a good football coach and potential spaces to play and train. If you want to coach or know just the place to play, then write to us.
Interested?

The National Museum of Singapore is embarking on a project to chronicle the history of Bras Basah precinct and stage a series of exhibitions featuring the communities who lived in the area.
The Eurasian community was the heartbeat of this neighbourhood in the past and the museum is seeking help from Eurasians who have recollections of the area.
If you would like to be interviewed about your memories and share family photographs, heirlooms and belongings which could help paint a bigger picture of the old Bras Basah – including enclaves in Queen Street and Waterloo Street or if you know of anyone who does, please get in touch!
This is a rare opportunity to be part of a national exhibit and we look forward to your contribution.
