Farah ready to make a difference at AFF Women's Cup

In July 2023, the striker impressed on her debut for the Lionesses, coming off the bench to score the winning goal in a friendly against Pakistan.

Farah, who has four caps, said: "After that goal, I felt really confident. I felt that I could've scored more but, for future tournaments, I will try my best to score."

The 20-year-old will be part of the national women's team competing in the Asean Football Federation (AFF) Women's Cup from Nov 23 to Dec 5, as they hunt for a spot in the Asean Women's Championship in 2025.

World No. 138 Singapore's first Group A fixture will be against 159th-ranked Timor-Leste on Nov 26, before they take on hosts Laos (No. 92) three days later. Both matches will be played in Vientiane's National Stadium KM16.
