Goal takes a look at when the next national team matches take place and what time you should tune in…
Having ended 2019 on a high by beating Yemen 2-1 to keep their chances of reaching the 2022 World Cup and the 2023 Asian Cup alive, Singapore will be looking to build on that in the first half of 2020.
National team coach Tatsuta Yoshida knows The Lions face a tough task to qualify for either tournament, though, and he will need his team to be on top of their game if they are to have a realistic chance of success.
There were encouraging results against the likes of Palestine and Yemen in 2019, but the games versus Uzbekistan and Saudi Arabia showed there is still plenty of room for improvement.
Much will depend on the form of star players Hariss Harun and Ikhsan Fandi, with the latter netting an impressive three goals in six appearances last calendar year.
As of yet, Singapore have three fixtures confirmed for 2020, but additional games will be added as the year goes on.
There are further official Fifa international breaks in September, October and November, while the AFF 2020 is due to take place toward the end of 2020.
