Warriors FC
Warriors FC is a Singaporean football club based in Choa Chu Kang. It began in 1975 as the SAFSA team (Singapore Armed Forces Sports Association) to help National Service players play football. In 1996, it became the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club (SAFFC) and joined Singapore’s top league, the S.League. In 2013, the club changed its name to Warriors Football Club (Warriors FC). The team’s mascot is a rhinoceros, chosen to represent discipline, spirit, courage and teamwork.
Warriors FC is one of Singapore’s most successful teams, winning the league title a record nine times (1997, 1998, 2000, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2008, 2009 and 2014). They finished second several times as well (1996, 1999, 2001, 2005). Notable figures include coach Fandi Ahmad, who led the club to league titles in 2000 and 2002.
Home games were played at Choa Chu Kang Stadium, which seats about 4,268 people. The club moved there in 2001 after previously playing at Jurong Stadium. For the 2015 season, their home matches were played at Woodlands Stadium during the SEA Games.
In November 2019, the club faced legal and salary payment problems, owing more than S$350,000 to about 30 staff. As a result, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) told Warriors FC to sit out the 2020 season, and the club could not return in 2021. Warriors FC was dissolved in 2019.
