Sage call on Singapore fixture
Perth Glory could play an A-League fixture in Singapore this season as part of Football Federation Australia's push into Asia.
The fixture would be part of a proposed three-year deal to play A-League matches in Singapore.
Glory had been due to play one of their 14 home matches this season in regional WA but no regional venue was considered up to A-League standard.
Glory owner Tony Sage said his club was considering moving one of its home matches to Singapore in March or April, allowing plenty of time to sort out logistical issues.
He insisted the plans were still in their infancy. "It's not in concrete but it's something they want to be able to do as part of a three-year deal, with one A-League club going up there each year," Sage said.
"Because we're closest, they're just seeing if it will work. It might not."
Sage has sought the advice of WA basketball great Andrew Vlahov, who was the driving force behind the Perth Wildcats' move to play two "home" games in Singapore in 2005.
The Wildcats' experiment paved the way for a Singapore team to play in Australia's National Basketball League, albeit briefly.
Sage does not expect a final decision on the fixture until late next month, with several hurdles still to be overcome.
