Similarly, Juventus clinched the Serie A title 9 times in a row between 2011//2020. Bayern Munich has successively won the Bundesliga since the 2012/13 season.
In Malaysia, JDT dominated the Malaysian Super League and won their 7th straight MSL title. One-club dominance over a league is not a new phenomenon. These are definitely valid points but are unnecessary hypotheticals that detract from a very serious reality that the Singapore football fraternity might be very well facing in the years to come – the prospect of a one-team league. Additionally, people may suggest that without Forrest Li’s financial backing, Lion City Sailors would have struggled like any other SPL team because they would not attract the best. If the lead up to the end of the season is anything to go by, their victory has undoubtedly raised the local interest in Singaporean football.Ĭritics may argue that it took millions of dollars of investment, literally since Diego Lopes’s transfer fee cost USD 3 million, from the Sailors to claim this title – where the prize money is a fraction of the transfer fee paid to Rio Ave for Diego. Lion City Sailors have emerged as champions. Seven long years of sheer frustration watching foreign sides lifting the league title, of withstanding ridicule from our Southeast Asian neighbours, of bitter disappointment with our domestic football predicament.
After seven long years, we finally have a Singaporean club lifting the Singapore Premier League.
