If you are looking forward to the Asean Championship semi-final clash between Singapore and Thailand, but did not manage to secure tickets to the match, fret not.

You can still wear Lions' jersey and cheer them on. 

There are 10 watch parties across Singapore, so all you and you family have to do is to bring your spirit and energy and join fellow football fans in showing your support for the national team.

In separate announcements posted on their respective social media pages, both the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) and the People's Association (PA) welcomed fans to join the parties.

This comes a day after FAS announced on Wednesday that more than 4,000 home-supporter tickets for the first leg semi-finals to be played at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Saturday have sold out.

Meanwhile, ticket resale listings have popped up at online sales platforms for as high as $1,500.

This has drawn frowns from the association and players alike.

Irfan Fandi, Lions defender and son of Fandi Ahmad, said on X that he felt for "genuine and loyal fans" who had wanted to attend the game.

"This shouldn't be happening. #SayNoToScalpers."

FAS also addressed the topic in a Facebook post on Thursday.

"We've seen resale listings circulating online. We do not condone ticket scalping and strongly urge fans not to purchase tickets from unauthorised resellers," it said.

Tickets may not be transferred or resold without the promoter's prior written permission, the association added.

So, don't fall for scams or scalpers. You can join one of the following watch parties for the first leg instead:

  • ACE The Place Community Club in Woodlands
  • Bishan Community Club
  • Boon Lay Community Club
  • Cheng San Community Club
  • Heartbeat@Bedok
  • Our Tamines Hub 
  • Tampines West Community Club
  • West Coast Community Club
  • Woodlands CC
  • Kallang Wave Mall

FAS said in its post that the watch parties are organised by the respective organisations (PA and The Kallang), but with its support.

Those who wish to watch the match in the comfort of their homes can catch the game live on Mediacorp's MeWatch at 9pm.
