The 2021 season is Lion City Sailors' 26th consecutive season in the Singapore Premier League and the 2nd season since privatising from Home United. [1] The season covers from 13 March 2021 to 2 October 2021. Coming into their second year with owners, Sea Limited, Lion City Sailors are surely aiming for the top spot of the Singapore Premier League after making big signings such as Brazilian duo Jorge Fellipe and Diego Lopes in the pre-season. In just his 2nd match for the team, Jorge Fellipe was able to score a late equalisers to level the game against Albirex Niigata Singapore FC which ended 2-2. [2] Meanwhile, fellow countryman Diego Lopes took 5 matches to finally score a goal in Singapore and did so in stunning fashion, smashing in 3 goals and 2 assists against Geylang International which ended with a 8–0 win.
