The Lion City Sailors have become the first Singapore Premier League (SPL) club to release an Official Music Video, titled Champions in Blue. The video represents a unique fusion of local football and music, as the club seeks to deepen the connection with its passionate fanbase and create new synergies with fans of sports and music alike.
Champions in Blue is a collaborative masterpiece written, arranged and produced by Sailors’ die-hard fan and musician Brandon Khoo along with Yogesh Pradhan, and performed by local singer Tan Yan Hua. It will be the Sailors’ new club anthem, to be played at all home matches with immediate effect.
The video features not only representatives of the Sailors’ First Team, Women’s Team and Academy, but also members of its vibrant fanbase. Set to an energetic track, the song embodies the passion and dedication of the team and its fans.
The release of Champions in Blue is timed to galvanise the Sailors ahead of their Asian Football Confederation Champions League (ACL) Two opener against China’s Zhejiang Professional on 19 September. This will be the Sailors’ third straight season in AFC club competitions as they seek to fly the Singapore flag high at the regional level, on top of their participation in the inaugural ASEAN Club Championship (ACC) Shopee Cup.
“Music is a powerful tool to build emotional connection and a sense of community,” said Lion City Sailors General Manager, Tan Li Yu. “Champions in Blue is more than just a music video or a song; it’s a celebration of our club’s identity and the shared journey with everyone connected to the club.
“Beyond our existing fanbase, we want to create a unique and immersive experience for sports and music lovers to celebrate the passion and energy that drive us.”
