The project was announced by Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Edwin Tong in Parliament during his ministry’s Committee of Supply debate earlier this year. The committee is made up of 13 members and four co-opted members, and will be responsible for “formulating strategies, planning, developing and supervising” the implementation of the project. Mr Chua will be the chairman of an executive committee for the project. “The initiatives announced today will not only allow our brightest young talent better access to a higher-level of training and competition on a daily basis, but also pave pathways for them to develop their game at some of the top football institutions overseas.” For Singapore football to raise our game to play at the highest level, we must first build a strong foundation,” said Parliamentary Secretary for Culture, Community and Youth Eric Chua. “This is a significant step for the ‘Unleash The Roar!’ project. The partnerships will take immediate effect and will first see LaLiga youth coaches and sports experts take on key roles at the enhanced SFAs by the first quarter of 2022. LaLiga coaches will help helm “key positions” alongside local coaches in 10 newly-launched School Football Academies (SFAs) while Dortmund will lend their expertise and jointly develop a coach development programme with the national project “Unleash the Roar”, said SportSG and FAS. They will also help secure overseas stints for the “brightest and best Singapore talent”.
