History

Singapore Selection XI was created to form the best players in Singapore until 1996 when the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) created Singapore first professional league known as the S.League. Since 2001, Singapore Selection XI has participated in the Sultan of Selangor's Cup. Matches between the two sides has even been dubbed as the Malayan El'Clasico back in 1920s until the late 1990s.

From 2012 until 2014, Singapore Selection XI was restricted using up to four LionsXII players which were at the time competing in the Malaysia Super League. In 2013, the Singapore Selection XI coached by V. Sundramoorthy played against Atlético Madrid in the Peter Lim Charity Cup, losing by 0–2. [1] In 2014, the team played against Juventus at the new National Stadium, Singapore and lost 0–5. [2] The team also participated in the Barclays Asia Trophy in July 2015. [3]

In 2024, after a seven year hiatus, Singapore Selection XI was reformed to take on Selangor at the iconic Merdeka Stadium on 17 August. Balestier Khalsa coach Peter de Roo was appointed for the team. De Roo took on 7 of his club players and reunited with 3 former players, Ho Wai Loon, Kyoga Nakamura and Daniel Goh, while Lion City Sailors refused to release their players due to tight fixtures. Faris Ramli appeared four times in the Sultan of Selangor Cup, becoming the first player to achieved this.
