SINGAPORE: Three more footballers from Singapore's SEA Games squad were found to have broken curfew during the tournament in the Philippines, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) said on Monday (Dec 9).
This brings the total number of footballers caught breaking curfew while in the Philippines to nine, out of a squad of 20 who made the trip for the SEA Games.

"Their actions contravened the code of conduct that all national players are expected to abide by and as such, they will be dealt with by the FAS," it said.
Head coach Fandi Ahmad had also voiced his disappointment with the players, calling the incident an "unnecessary setback for the team".
