Sports Minutes with Zia-ul Raushan

In the world of sport, delve beyond the headlines to discover the synergies between sports and daily life. Big stories, quirky anecdotes, and hot takes.

Sports Minutes puts Singapore football at its core, bringing to life the stories beyond the scoreboard - the people, the pressure, and the purpose that drive the beautiful game.

Beyond football, it expands beyond the pitch into the wider world of Singapore sport - spotlighting defining journeys and building deeper connections with the athletes who carry national pride. More than sport, Sports Minutes is about identity, belief, and what it means to represent Singapore.
