Indonesian Super League side Pelita Jaya, coached by former Singapore captain Fandi Ahmad, will join three other invited foreign sides to compete with the 12 S.League clubs in the prestigious RHB Singapore Cup which kicks off on 27 April 2009.
Pelita Jaya will be the first ever Indonesian club side to compete in the Singapore Cup although the Indonesian Under-23 team did make it to the quarter finals of the Singapore Cup in 2005.
Joining them in making their Singapore Cup debut this year will be Thai Premier League side Bangkok Glass FC. Fellow Thai Premier League side TTM Samut Sakhon FC, who were previously known as Thailand Tobacco Monopoly FC, will return to hopefully better their quarter-final showing from last year, while Cambodian League champions Phnom Penh Crown, formerly Phnom Penh Empire, will return for their third straight appearance in the Singapore Cup.
The draw for the Singapore Cup will be held on Wednesday 15 April 2009 at 12pm. For the first time since the competition started in 1998, the Draw will be held outdoors right in the heart of Singapore’s Central Business District at the Coffee Club Raffles Place. The Draw will be hosted by Class95 DJ Glenn Ong and will also feature percussion band Sambiesta, to entertain the lunch time crowd with some hot and sexy Brazilian Samba and FHM girls.
This year will also see an innovative new concept to the Singapore Cup Draw; with S.League and RHB Bank inviting firms and corporations from the Central Business District to participate in the Draw, by nominating a representative for the chance to be involved in determining the Draw.
Companies may nominate their representatives by sending an email to info@sleague.com by noon on Tuesday, 14 April 2009, with the following information of their nominee(s),
- Name
- Designation
- Company
- Contact Number
The lucky few who are picked for the Draw will be invited to stay for the reception along with one other colleague and will also receive 10 complimentary tickets for their colleagues to attend the RHB Singapore Cup Final on 8 November 2009.
The first 100 members of the public who drop their name cards at the event will receive a complimentary cup of coffee or tea from Coffee Club.
