EP 10: Exclusive- Hariss Harun Talks TMJ, JDT Era, Singapore’s Asian Cup Rise & Forrest Li’s Impact at Lion City Sailors
In this power-packed episode, Singapore football icon Hariss Harun takes us through the defining moments of his career- from his early love for the game and breakthrough at NFA, to becoming the youngest-ever international debutant for Singapore at just 16. He opens up about his time at FC Barcelona’s La Masia, near-moves to Europe, and the transformative JDT era under TMJ, including captaining the club and winning the historic AFC Cup.
Hariss also reveals why he took a major pay cut for the Johor Disaster Fund, what motivated his return home during the pandemic, and how life at Lion City Sailors was shaped by Forrest Li’s vision. We dive into Singapore’s Asian Cup qualification, his evolving leadership as national team captain, and how he balances multiple roles- footballer, VP of FAS, real estate agent, and family man.
Candid, inspiring, and filled with untold stories: this is Hariss Harun like you’ve never heard him.
