Dear ST reader,
If you need any further proof of the World Cup fever in Singapore, just look at the huge early morning crowd that gathered at Chijmes for the England v Norway quarter-final. Our writer David Lee captures the incredible atmosphere generated by some 5,000 fans, some 17,000km from the match in Miami. For the latest from the World Cup, visit our microsite.
In other news, the Singapore football fraternity is mourning the passing of veteran journalist Jeffrey Low. Dubbed “The Voice of Soccer” for his legendary prose, Low was the man who got the nation excited about football.
The Sports Arina’s new outlet at Jalan Kayu is a big hit with sports enthusiasts. Spanning 80,000 sq ft, the venue boasts 10 air-conditioned pickleball courts alongside courts for padel, badminton, futsal, table tennis, basketball and others.
