Thank you for your warm support.
We are pleased to announce that Keisuke Honda will join FC Jurong for the 2026/27 season.

Background and Objectives of the Signing

This agreement goes beyond the signing of a single player; it aims to create new value for the club together and contribute to the further development of the Singapore football community as a whole.

• Club Vision: Building on the achievements established in Singapore, Albirex Niigata Singapore aims to further develop the club with a view toward competing on the Asian stage. For the 2026/27 season, when the club will be renamed FC Jurong, we believe that the addition of Keisuke Honda—who has built a wealth of experience on the global stage and has consistently challenged himself with high ambition—will bring great inspiration and new value to the team.

• Honda’s Challenge: For Keisuke Honda, who has played in various countries around the world, this project represents a new challenge. In addition to his contributions on the pitch, the club expects that his experience and mindset will help lay the foundation for its continued growth.

Comment from Keisuke Honda

I am delighted to have the opportunity to play for FC Jurong. As I turn 40 this year, I am pursuing several personal challenges, including a Guinness World Record for scoring in the most countries’ top leagues.
However, my primary goal with this club is to win the league title. There are a couple of very strong rivals, so it will be a tough challenge, but I am determined to achieve it.

Comment from Chairman Daisuke Korenaga

The 2026/27 season marks FC Jurong's first chapter under a new name.
With real determination, we push further toward the style of football we believe in.
Hard work. Teamwork. Taking control of the game.

Of course, the details of football evolve with the times.
That is exactly why we must build an unshakable foundation for this club.

Goals and assists across three consecutive FIFA World Cups.
Experience at some of the biggest clubs in the world.
Keisuke Honda — one of the most decorated footballers of Japan — is coming to FC Jurong.

To build a great castle, you need a solid cornerstone.
Into that cornerstone, we pour world-class experience, vision, and passion.
Together with Keisuke Honda, we are determined to build a legacy that will carry this club forward for the next 100 years.

Everything is for victory.
And everything is for a future far beyond today.

Now, the project begins.
