An upcoming starlet in the Singapore women’s football scene, we round up our Lionesses series with a view to the future in the form of Danelle Tan. The youngest ever international scorer for Singapore, she once made headlines as the only girl to participate and win in an U-14 all boys competition while overcoming sexism and age barriers. A hardworking player, Danelle’s dedication to become a professional player in Europe one day is also a uniquely Singapore dream. We speak to Danelle’s family and learn more about Danelle’s personal story and quest to be the best. Aspiring Lionesses, this one’s for you!

Singapore’s female football players and women in football unite to tell everyday stories of personal dedication and triumphs through training, freestyle football, and community engagement.
