"A love letter to playing spaces we call home"24 October 2015Factual23 mins
Singapore is a football nation. Every weekend, thousands of amateur players, from schoolboys to office executives to retirees, gather to play the Beautiful Game. Not for glory, not for fame; but for passion, football and friendship. This spirit is forged in the neighbourhoods; void decks, street soccer courts, open fields or any patch of grass.

Homeground is a love letter to playing spaces we call home, and a tribute to all amateur footballers in Singapore
