Nofasari raised three questions: why players who missed overseas travel for academic reasons cannot return to the team later;

Why 16-year-olds have to make difficult choices between education and football;

Why the scholarship boy trained in Spain has not been condemned but has not been condemned.

She believes that the trip to Bahrain is scheduled during the critical academic period, with poor planning and lack of coordination with parents and schools, causing the child to fall into a conflicting dilemma of academic and team commitments.

In response, FAS responded that a briefing for Singapore U17 shortlisted players in May was held, emphasizing that the main goal this year is the AFC U17 qualifiers, informed the training camp and championship arrangements, and required the players to "full commitments."
