Kallang is set to roar on Saturday (Nov 29) following a sharp spike in ticket sales for Singapore’s final Group B tie against Malaysia in the ASEAN Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup.

Wednesday’s 4-2 win over Myanmar has created renewed interest in the Lions, whose title defence had looked shaky following a 2-1 loss to Thailand in Sunday’s Group B opener.

The National Stadium could see up to 45,000 spectators on Saturday, with the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) reporting up to 65 per cent of tickets sold for the Causeway derby.

With only 2,000 tickets allocated to Malaysian fans, crowd support should be overwhelming for the Lions, who are seeking to defend the crown they won two years ago, and seeking back-to-back championships, albeit under German Bernd Stange’s guidance this time.
