Singapore captain Hariss Harun has called on the national team to take lessons from their ASEAN Championship elimination, according to ESPN Singapore. The midfielder spoke after the Lions' campaign came to a close with a painful exit from the regional tournament.
ESPN Singapore reports that Harun believes the disappointment should serve as a learning experience rather than a setback. He urged the squad to reflect on what went wrong and use the heartbreak as motivation for future competitions, emphasizing that growth must come from the loss.
The ASEAN Championship remains a key target for Singapore, a nation with a storied history in the tournament. The team's early departure has sparked questions about the squad's direction, but Harun's comments suggest a focus on internal improvement over external criticism.
According to the report, the captain's message is one of resilience, steering the conversation toward development ahead of upcoming fixtures. The Lions will need to regroup quickly, with qualification campaigns and friendly matches on the horizon.
What to watch next: how Singapore responds in their next competitive outing, and whether Harun's call for reflection translates into a sharper, more disciplined performance.
