The FAS is hoping to naturalise the duo in future.
British defender Perry Ng and Japanese midfielder Kyoga Nakamura do not have Singapore citizenship, but the FAS hopes to naturalise the duo in future.
On the process to become a Singaporean and linking up with the Lions, Ng, who was named Cardiff’s Player of the Year for 2022-23 and 2023-24, added: “I always hoped to come here, but it’s never been realistic until maybe a couple of weeks ago. Hopefully it can progress fast and we can get this completed soon.”
However, Singapore’s citizenship rules state that qualifying for a passport by descent is applicable only to individuals with at least one parent who is born in Singapore or is a citizen by registration. If that happens, it will be a dream come true for Ng, who had expressed his desire to play for the Lions over the years.He said: “Ever since my grandfather passed away, about 12 years , it’s always been a dream of mine to come here, represent them, represent my family that are still here, and to make them proud.
