The 2024/25 Singapore Premier League campaign was anything but smooth sailing for Tanjong Pagar United. The Jaguars spent much of the season anchored to the foot of the table, managing just three victories all season, their 22 losses painting a stark picture of their struggles. Offensively, they scored a league-low 35 goals, and at the back, no team conceded more than their 103 goals.
But the new season brings about renewed optimism for Tanjong Pagar. With a new sponsor on board and a slew of promising new signings, the Jaguars will be looking to re-establish themselves as a competitive force in the league.
One of those eye-catching additions is Spanish forward Yousseff Ezzejjari, who adds firepower to a frontline that struggled for goals last season. The well-travelled forward scored 61 goals in 129 games while playing in countries such as Thailand, Indonesia, Malaysia, Cambodia, and Andorra, showcasing his knack for finding the net wherever he goes.
Tanjong Pagar United has a storied history dating back to the 1970s, though their SPL journey has been marked by intermittent participation due to financial challenges. Despite these setbacks, the Jaguars have shown resilience, returning to the league in recent years with renewed ambition and a focus on youth development. Their most significant triumph came in 1998, when they won the Singapore Cup. Today, Tanjong Pagar is rebuilding with a mix of experienced players and promising youngsters, aiming to re-establish themselves as a competitive force in Singapore football.
