Chinese soccer fans have shown their appreciation for Singaporean goalkeeper Hassan Sunny by flocking to his food stall and showering him with support after his stellar performance in a recent game indirectly helped China advance to the third qualifying round for the 2026 World Cup.
Sunny, a 40-year-old goalkeeper for the Singapore national team, gained overnight fame on Chinese social media following Singapore's 3-1 loss to Thailand. Had Thailand won by three goals, China would have been eliminated, but Sunny's impressive saves prevented that outcome.
