Player Type: GOALKEEPERS

Victor

Nationality: Brazilian

DOB/Age: 17 October 2002 (24)

Previous Clubs: Cádiz CF (2021-2026)

A shot-stopper with sharp reflexes, excellent positioning and the ability to close down spaces quickly, the 1.92m Victor adds depth to the Sailors’ goalkeeping ranks after arriving from Spanish side Cádiz CF on a three-year contract in the off-season.

Victor first began his footballing journey in the academy of Brazilian giants Corinthians, before continuing his development in Italy with Hellas Verona’s youth setup. He subsequently moved to Cádiz, where he made more than 100 appearances for the club’s B and first teams, including 36 in LaLiga 2.

Victor was also named on the Cádiz first-team bench on five occasions during the 2023/24 LaLiga season.

The Brazilian enjoyed a breakthrough 2025/26 campaign as he established himself as Cádiz’s first-choice goalkeeper, recording nine clean sheets and 106 saves in 34 appearances.

His performances included a shutout in a 1-0 victory over eventual promotion winners Málaga CF and earned him the prestigious Manuel Jiménez Trophy, an accolade organised by Radio Cádiz Cadena SER to recognise the club’s most consistent performer of the season.

Victor was destined for greater things at Cádiz, but was eventually persuaded by the Sailors’ vision and ambitions to make the move to Singapore and he is now hungry to help the Sailors make a mark in Asia.

Ivan

Nationality: Croatian

DOB/Age: 6 October 1997 (29)

Previous Clubs: C. Budejovice (2020), NK Rudes (2020-2021), NK Maribor (2021), Slaven Belupo (2021-2025)

Combining a commanding aerial presence with consistent shot-stopping ability, Ivan enjoyed a brilliant first season in Singapore in 2025/26. A league-high tally of 10 clean sheets in 19 games meant he became the first-ever Sailors goalkeeper to receive the SPL Golden Glove.

The 2.03m custodian joined the Sailors in July 2025 from Croatian top-tier side Slaven Belupo, where he built a reputation as one of the SuperSport HNL’s top shot-stoppers. He amassed 89 appearances over four seasons, with his most impressive coming in the 2024/25 campaign.

That season, Ivan kept 10 clean sheets in 35 matches across all competitions — including a standout performance in a goalless draw against Ivan Rakitić’s HNK Hajduk Split in January 2025 — and even captained Slaven on several occasions. His leadership and performances earned him a place in the HNL Team of the Season, as Slaven finished fifth — their best league finish in 12 years.

Izairida

Nationality: Singaporean

DOB/Age: 2 June 2007 (19)

Previous Club: Mattar Sailors

Shakira started playing football under the void deck at just six years old, influenced by her older brother.

Possessing reliable ball-handling skills and the ability to pull off acrobatic diving saves, Shakira — whose role model is England Women’s goalkeeper Mary Earps — hopes to one day establish herself as the undisputed first-choice goalkeeper for the Singapore National Women’s Team.

Having impressed in her first WPL season last term as she won the Golden Glove with seven clean sheets, Shakira will be looking to further demonstrate her ability in 2025.

Beatrice

Nationality: Singaporean

DOB/Age: 29 June 1992 (34)

Previous Clubs: Petra Football Club, H20/ITE Dream Team, Tanjong Pagar United

Beatrice is a senior player in the National Women’s team, having been involved in multiple tournaments since her first call up in 2013, a privilege that she holds close to her heart.

While sports and academics are believed to be polar opposites in Singapore, it was studying that first pulled Beatrice into football – she was introduced to the game as a perfect study break while slogging in the period leading up to the ‘O’ Level examinations.

Beatrice was immediately hooked on the adrenaline football provided, playing at the junior college level before joining the Nanyang Technological University and representing Singapore at the 16th Asean University Games in 2012.

Winner of the WPL Golden Glove Award in 2022 and 2023, the experienced Beatrice remains an important cornerstone of the Sailors’ Women Team as she looks to impart her knowledge to the younger goalkeepers in the setup.

Adib

Nationality: Singaporean

DOB/Age: 9 March 1998 (28)

Previous Clubs: Young Lions (2016-2019)

A shot-stopper with immense physical attributes and brilliant reflexes, Adib is a valuable member of the Sailors’ goalkeeping department.

His potential was evident from young, and he was called up to the Singapore national team for their games against Qatar and Yemen in 2019. Adib spent the first four years of his professional career with the Young Lions, before signing for the Sailors in 2020.

Adib made his first official start for the Sailors in May 2025 against Balestier Khalsa, and has also made appearances in gala friendlies against Borussia Dortmund and Tottenham Hotspur.
