The Singapore national football team will face Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong in friendly matches on Sep 6 and 9 respectively.

The matches will take place at Hougang Stadium at 7.30pm on both days.

Singapore are currently ranked 152nd in the world while Papua New Guinea is 200th and Hong Kong is 161st.

The matches are part of the Lions' preparations for November's Asean Football Federation (AFF) Suzuki Cup, which is co-hosted at the Sports Hub.

National coach Bernd Stange has called up a 25-man squad for these two matches.

"These upcoming international friendly matches will serve as a way for us to have more time to play and train together," said Stange,

"This can only be good for us, as it allows the players to get used to playing together as a team with the style I am implementing.

"We are looking forward to playing against Papua New Guinea and Hong Kong."

Ticket prices for both matches are at $3 (concession) and $12 (grandstand). Fans can also purchase grandstand tickets for both matches for a bundle price of $20.
