Season review
Off-season
The 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season will be the first season to be played having a two-year schedule where Albirex Niigata Singapore participated in the 2024 interim pre-season tournament from 23 February until 20 April. The interim pre-season tournament ensure that the players are adequately prepared for an extended new season that will span nearly 12 months. On 30 March, Albirex Niigata Singapore travelled to Ipoh to face Malaysia Super League club, Perak in a pre-season friendly which resulted in a 3–1 lost at the Perak Stadium where Arya Igami Tarhani scored the only goal for the club. On 16 April, they faced another Malaysia Premier League club, Sri Pahang at the Jalan Besar Stadium in which The Swans lost 1–0 to the visitors.
Transfer
Heading into the new season, the team faced a void left by the retirement of veteran ex-Japan International Tadanari Lee.[5] To shore up their title defense, they brought in seasoned campaigner Yojiro Takahagi, who boasts 3 caps for the Japan national team, and promising youngster Stevia Egbus Mikuni, a former Japan youth international.[6][7]
They also welcomed back some faces, which include Daniel Goh, a Singapore international, Gareth Low and Shuhei Hoshino, who bring a wealth of experience and a connection to the club's past.[8]
