   Sports Minutes: Could Women's football be the fix for Singapore's sporting ambitions?

   We talk endlessly about how to fix Singapore football. But are we overlooking a potential solution?Women's football appears to be making strides, developing its own talent pipeline and unearthing gems like Amelia Tan, who at just 15, has already broken into senior football. So, is the women's game getting something right that the men's game can learn from? Izz Haziq Izan, Programme Lead for Lion City Sailors' Women & Girls division, and Amelia herself join Sports Minutes to tell us more. Got a story to tell?
