StarHub's 'Football for All' carnival to screen all 10 EPL matches on final matchday
SINGAPORE: While Liverpool Football Club has emerged as the 2024/2025 English Premier League (EPL) champions, there are still the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) Champions League spots up for grabs for teams that finished in the runner-up to the fifth position.
Arsenal Football Club has won the Premiership 13 times and is currently second in the league with 71 points, and Manchester City, in third place with 68 points, are guaranteed a spot in next season's Champions League.
While both Newcastle United and Chelsea Football Club are currently in the final two spots for Champions League qualification, they are living precariously in fourth and fifth place with 66 points, respectively.
The two clubs are closely pursued by both sixth-placed Aston Villa on 66 points and seventh-placed Nottingham Forest on 65 points, setting up an intense battle for the remaining Champions League spots.

One avid football fan, Ezaad Dollah, who was interested in meeting the former Premier League legends, wondered whether postcards would be handed out to fans for the former players to sign.
'Please be advised that there will not be any autograph cards given out on Sunday. You may bring your own items, but it will be at the legends' discretion and priority will be given to photo-taking as we want to allow as many people to have the opportunity to get a chance to get up close to the legends,' replied StarHub on a thread in their social media page.

Rangers takeover completed by US consortium
FILE PHOTO: Soccer Football - Scottish Premiership - Rangers v Celtic - Ibrox, Glasgow, Scotland, Britain - May 4, 2025 Rangers fans display a banner inside the stadium before the match Action Images via Reuters/Lee Smith/File Photo REUTERS An American consortium of investors led by Andrew Cavenagh and 49ers Enterprises has purchased a majority stake in Rangers, the Scottish Premiership side confirmed on Friday. The takeover has been approved by the Scottish Football Association, Rangers said in a statement, adding that the new leadership has committed to invest 20 million pounds ($26.95 million) into the club. "This new ownership phase represents a significant step forward for Rangers FC," said Rangers chairman Fraser Thornton. "The incoming shareholders bring not only funding but also deep expertise in strategic planning, infrastructure development, and sporting excellence." Rangers finished their domestic campaign second behind champions Celtic for the fourth consecutive year, last winning the league in 2020-21. Both teams are tied on 55 championships. "This club's history and traditions speak for themselves, but history doesn't win matches," health insurance tycoon Cavenagh said. "We know that the true way to honour the club's heritage will be to drive performance. Our focus is simple: elevate performance, deliver results, and bring Rangers back to where it belongs - at the top." Rangers will compete in the Champions League second qualifying round for a chance to play in next season's competition.

Singapore's Thiruben breaks 38-year-old 800m national record at Asian Athletics Championships
The 24-year-old said that he had almost exactly a year ago started working with his current coaches, Khairyll Amri and Hamkah Afik and made the decision to switch from the 400m to the 800m. "I've always had the belief that I am capable of taking down this record. This is certainly not the end goal for me, as this first year in the event was all about recovering from past injuries and getting used to the two laps again," he said. "I'm excited to ramp up my training and improve a lot more by SEA Games in December." Earlier in the day, Singapore sprint queen Shanti Pereira finished second overall and first in her heat to book her spot in the women's 200m final on Saturday. Pereira is the defending champion in the event.

'Not bad,' 1st-time busker delighted to earn S$125.30 after 40 minutes
TikTok screengrab/ @rongtinn SINGAPORE: When a woman who tried her hand (or should we say, voice) at busking for the first time earlier this week, it turned out to be a pleasant surprise for her and her keyboardist, thanks to a supportive 'angel' and those who gathered round to watch them perform. Rong Tin documented her experience on TikTok, where she showed that it was more nerve-wracking than probably most of us could ever imagine. @rongtinn Will be busking again this wed (28/5, from ard 7:30-9:30pm) in front of The Cathay! Come find me if you are free ❤️ #sg #busking ♬ original sound – Ronggg While she was 'super excited' about the experience, her first foray into busking did not start out smoothly at all, as the keyboard bag of her accompanist broke just as they left the car and headed outside 313@Somerset mall, where they were set to perform, which made her wonder if it was a 'sign' of things to come that evening. Luckily, the bag was soon fixed by her 'awesome partner,' and they set up soon after. However, she was beset by doubts, thinking, 'What if nobody stops to watch our performance at all? What if we don't get a single cent from today?' The location hardly helped, as she realized while beginning to sing that her voice needed to compete with the other noises in the vicinity, leading her to quip, 'Now I know why nobody actually picks this location.' Nevertheless, not one to give up, they continued singing, and things began to turn when she saw one woman filming them. 'She looks like an angel to me,' she said. And then, another woman dropped a S$50 bill into the keyboard case, which served as their donation box. In her video, Ms Rong thanked the two women, giving them a special shoutout because after that, 'magically,' more people began dropping money into the case, and at one point, a small crowd had gathered around them. They ended at 9:40 p.m. after their speaker ran out of battery, and counted their earnings in the car. Ms Rong and her partner ended up making S$125.30 for their maiden 40-minute performance and headed out to get 'a nice supper' afterward. 'I think that's not bad,' she said, adding that they also got a new speaker from the money they made that night. Ms Rong also performed on Wednesday night in front of The Cathay. Here's a sample of her lovely voice. @rongtinn Want to turn your hobby into a source of income? Download WerkSG now 😀 Not only can u list ur services but also look for plenty of job opportunities!
