Keisuke Honda signs for Singapore Premier League side FC Jurong for 2026-27 season

FC Jurong signed former Japan international Keisuke Honda for the 2026-27 season, the Singapore Premier League club announced on Saturday.

The club is part-owned by Indian company SkaSports and the announcement was issued by chairman Daisuke Korenaga. The report was published on August 22, 2026 at 08:44 pm IST. Honda formerly played for AC Milan and has represented Japan at international level.

“I am very happy to introduce Keisuke Honda as an FC Jurong player today. This season, we start a new chapter with a new name — FC Jurong. We are very happy to have Keisuke with us. Of course, he is a great player. He has played in three World Cups for Japan and has played football in many countries around the world. But we did not bring Keisuke here just because of his name. What we want is his experience, winning mentality, professionalism and most importantly, his high standards,” said Daisuke Korenaga, Chairman of FC Jurong, who also announced Takasago Singapore Pte. Ltd as its main partner.

“I want the next generation of FC Jurong players to learn from what he brings to this club. So, our message is very simple. Win now and build for the future. We want to do both. And today is an important first step in that journey,” he added.

Honda’s signing is confirmed for the 2026-27 season, a move Korenaga described as an important first step in the club’s plans.
