SINGAPORE - Singapore's leading football club will get the chance to test their mettle at another level when the Asean Club Championship , organised and santioned by the Asean Football Federation , kicks off in the second half of next year.

It is understood that commercial partners have already been secured and the total prize money will be more than US$1 million . Each club will receive a participation fee, as well as escalating prize money as they progress through the tournament. By virtue of being the top local team in the Singapore Premier League , as well as Singapore Cup winners, Tampines Rovers look set to be the Republic's representatives in the ACC next year.

"The possibility of the ACC winners entering the Fifa Club World Cup and taking on Europe and South American's best is a fantastic opportunity for football in our region, and gives SPL teams something to aspire to, but we can only take one step at a time and do our best with what we have."
