I suppose it is easier to negotiate with clubs in terms of planning, logistics, than with national football associations.

Having said that, I think national teams play one another only when there is some impending tournaments to prepare e.g. like World Cup, Asian Cup.

Anyway, in accordance to FAS' 6-year strategic plan (FAS launch Strategic Plan for 2010-2015 to take Singapore football to next level), playing against 2nd-tier European clubs will provide the players with the exposure and experience, without the discouragement of being thrashed (like against the likes of European national teams)...

Speaking of the Strategic Plan, any thread about it in this forum?

" We have also arranged some friendlies for the National Team against Thailand and three teams in Serbia,"
