Albirex, Home to meet on Feb 23 for Community Shield
Albirex Niigata will face Home United at the Jalan Besar Stadium on Feb 23 for the Community Shield, the curtain-raiser to the 2019 domestic football season.
But, unlike recent years, the clash will not double up as a fixture in the Singapore Premier League (SPL), which kicks off the following week with Geylang International hosting Albirex at Our Tampines Hub on March 2.
This season, eight local-based SPL clubs will be sharing four regional stadiums:
- Bishan Stadium (Balestier Khalsa and Home)
- Jalan Besar Stadium (Hougang United and Young Lions)
- Jurong East Stadium (Albirex and Warriors FC)
- Our Tampines Hub (Geylang and Tampines Rovers)
