As someone who just got into football after the 2026 World Cup, how do I get into local football like the ongoing Singapore Premier League?

Hi there!! So recently, I've gotten into the football scene a bit after following the world cup hype this year. I wasn't that much into football in the past but once I sat down and started watching a few of the world cup matches, I finally understand why some people would dedicate their whole personality to this.

Just like everybody else, I was bumped when the world cup was over. But soon I learnt about club football on social media from other football influencers. This really piqued my interest and so I started to watch a bit of the premier league, champions league and la liga matches. Those were really interesting and thrilling to watch. The main thing is I still haven't chosen a club to support yet because there's a lot of clubs to choose from different leagues.

Some people have given me advice to follow my local football scene first and support local. It wasn't until last month that I've discovered Singapore has its own premier league matches (which is like lowkey kinda cool). So that's why I thought I might ask any football fans to help introduce the SPL to a newbie and which club to support.

All kinds of useful help and/or discussion is welcomed :) If anybody is wondering, I live somewhere in the south side of Singapore (around the Telok Blangah / Harbourfront area), so if anybody knows any clubs near the south side please also let me know!!

TLDR: Watched the world cup 2026, want to get into more of local club football but don't know which club / players to support, feel free to convince me to support your club as well!!

Person who gained an interest in football after the World Cup here, how do I not be a 'larper' and get into club football and the other football matches?

Hi there!! This is my first ever Reddit post that I'm making so apologies if this post seems weird or very long. So basically, I got sucked into the World Cup hype and decided to watch some of the matches. Previously I wasn't really into football because I wasn't much of a sports person or whatever but I once I sat down and watched a couple of matches, I finally understood why some people would dedicate their whole personality to this.

Just like everybody else, I was bumped that the World Cup was over. But thanks to the algorithm, my social media was filled with football influencers talking about things people who were now interested in football after watching the World Cup (such as myself) can get into, such as club football. This really piqued my interest and got me wanting to learn more about what football offers and to also watch and enjoy other kinds of matches.

Currently, I understand that it's international break, but I was watching some of the premier league, champions league and la liga matches. Those were really interesting and thrilling to watch. The main thing is that I still haven't chosen a club to support and have a bit of difficulty choosing one because there's a lot of clubs from different leagues so that's why I thought I might ask any football fans on the internet for help finding out which club to support, how do you read up or get to know about the great football legends and their history and ultimately not seem like a 'larper' (or at least attempt to).

All kinds of useful help and/or discussion is welcomed :). Right now, I feel a slight inkling towards supporting Crystal Palace because I took one of those 'which football club do I belong to' online quizzes and I ended up getting Palace (but to be fair, they seem to be doing slightly better this season?) I also feel like supporting Tottenham Hotspur (though I've heard they're not performing well this season)

TLDR: Watched World Cup 2026, want to get into club football but don't know which club to support / league to watch / players to support, feel free to convince me to support your club as well!!
