Experience
What Families Say
The best measure of our work is the experience of our players and their families.
“Highly recommend Island City! My older son Luca trained here for three years, which paved his pathway to the National Development Centre (NDC) and helped him secure his preferred secondary school via football DSA. My younger son Marco is still training with the club today and is developing immensely. It's a fantastic environment for any young player looking to take their game to the next level.”
“Island City is where our son Matteo’s football story started, and where it was truly shaped. As part of the club’s pioneer batch, he arrived as a young defender and learned early that talent means little without the mentality to match — Island City built both. It gave him the confidence to express himself on the ball, growing into a versatile playmaker across CDM, CAM and the wing, and the resilience the club instilled in him carried him through every setback along the way. That foundation took him to the National Development Centre (NDC) and, at just 15, onwards to Spain. Now our younger son Niccolo is following the same path as a key defender in the U12s. This is a club that builds players and character in equal measure, and opens doors around the world.”
“We moved to Singapore without knowing anyone, and finding the warm and welcoming Island City community meant so much to our family. Since joining the club, our son has grown both as a football player and as a person. He’s developed his skills, gained confidence, built wonderful friendships, and always looks forward to training and matches. We’re incredibly grateful to be part of the Island City family.”
“Highly recommend Island City! My older son Arthur has been training here for two years, and his confidence and understanding of the game have grown enormously. My younger son Matthieu is loving every session — and above all, the competition, both in Singapore and overseas in Malaysia and Thailand. It's a fantastic environment for any young player looking to develop to the highest level, both on and off the pitch, with a great parent community.”
“My son kicked his first football at the age of four with the encouragement and enthusiasm of an Island City coach. Now, at 10, he’s part of a brotherhood of boys who play with all their hearts and genuinely look out for one another.
He’s grown in confidence, ability and character. We’ve been so fortunate to stand alongside parents who cheer for every child - in both the victories and the challenges.
For us, Island City has always been about more than football. It’s about raising kind, resilient young people who learn that the best teams grow, support and succeed together.”
