> Quick view: Brazil, Japan, Singapore and Paraguay play four matches at the National Stadium from 13 to 17 November 2026. Tickets went on sale 4 September at 12pm at ticketmaster.sg, priced S$28 to S$888 before booking fee. The 17 November ticket is a double header: one ticket, two matches, one of them Singapore vs Brazil.
Brazil are coming to Kallang. So are Japan.
The Mizuho Blue Challenge - The Kallang Football Series Singapore is a four-match international series at the National Stadium, played inside the official FIFA international match window from 13 to 17 November 2026. It is co-organised by The Kallang and Dentsu, with Mizuho Financial Group as title sponsor, and it sits inside the Singapore-Japan 60th anniversary (SJ60) programme. Brazil are five-time World Cup winners and ranked 5th in the world; Japan are 17th and Paraguay 34th.
Tickets opened at 12pm on 4 September 2026.
The four matches
| Date | Match | Kick-off | Doors open |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fri 13 Nov | Singapore vs Paraguay | 8pm | 6pm |
| Sat 14 Nov | Japan vs Brazil | 6.15pm | 4.15pm |
| Tue 17 Nov | Singapore vs Brazil | 6pm | 4pm |
| Tue 17 Nov | Japan vs Paraguay | 9.10pm | 4pm |
The two games on 17 November are a double header on one ticket. You do not buy them separately and you do not leave the stadium in between.
The full price grid
Most of the coverage has quoted the headline range, S$98 up to S$888, and stopped there. Here is the complete official grid, all five categories, from The Kallang's own event listing.
| Category | Fri 13 Nov (SG v Paraguay) | Sat 14 Nov (Japan v Brazil) | Tue 17 Nov (double header) |
|---|---|---|---|
| VIP | S$188 | S$888 | S$888 |
| CAT 1 | S$58 | S$268 | S$268 |
| CAT 2 | S$48 | S$208 | S$208 |
| CAT 3 | S$38 | S$138 | S$138 |
| CAT 4 | S$28 | S$98 | S$98 |
Two things jump out of that table.
The first is that 13 November is priced as a different event entirely. Every tier is roughly a third of the same seat on the other two nights: S$28 against S$98 in CAT 4, S$188 against S$888 in VIP. If your goal is to watch the Lions play a ranked opponent at the National Stadium without paying three figures, Friday is the night, and CAT 4 at S$28 is the cheapest ticket in the series.
The second is that 17 November is better value than 14 November at exactly the same price. Both nights cost S$98 in CAT 4. The 14th buys you one match. The 17th buys you two, including Brazil.
| Night | Matches on your ticket | CAT 4 | Cost per match |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fri 13 Nov | 1 | S$28 | S$28 |
| Sat 14 Nov | 1 | S$98 | S$98 |
| Tue 17 Nov | 2 | S$98 | S$49 |
So if you want to see Brazil once and spend as little as possible, the answer is the 17th, not the 14th. The trade-off is the calendar: the 17th is a Tuesday, and the second match does not kick off until 9.10pm.
The zone rule that can cost you your seat
This is the part that is not in the news write-ups, and it is the one most likely to catch a casual buyer.
Seating is split by team. The Kallang's official seat map assigns separate zones for each side on each match day: Singapore and Paraguay zones on 13 November, Japan and Brazil zones on 14 November, and Singapore/Japan against Brazil/Paraguay zones on the 17th. You are not simply buying a price category, you are buying a side.
The warning printed on that map is blunt. Fans seated in the wrong zone may be relocated or asked to leave without a refund.
So check the zone, not just the price, before you pay. A group buying separately in one transaction each is the easiest way to end up scattered across two opposing ends.
One more line from the same map worth knowing: the West Zone is exposed to the weather. Mid-November sits in the northeast monsoon, and non-collapsible umbrellas are on the prohibited list, so a covered seat is worth something on those nights.
Booking fees, and what a family actually pays
The advertised prices exclude the booking fee, and that fee is charged per ticket, not per order:
- S$6 per ticket on tickets S$50 and above
- S$3 per ticket on tickets between S$20 and S$49.99
Worked through, a family of four in CAT 4 on 13 November pays 4 x S$28 plus 4 x S$3, so S$124. The same four seats on 17 November come to 4 x S$98 plus 4 x S$6, so S$416 for two matches.
The purchase limit is 10 tickets, and the sales channel is ticketmaster.sg. Note that The Kallang's own event page does not sell tickets: its buy button hands you over to Ticketmaster, so that is the site to be logged in to before the queue.
Before you go
From the official admission rules:
- Children under 3 enter free if they do not occupy a seat. From 3 years old, a child needs a ticket.
- No outside food or drinks. Water bottles are allowed but must be emptied before you enter, and glass is not.
- Bags must fit 35cm x 20cm x 30cm, small enough to go under your seat.
- No laptops, iPads or tablets, no professional or film cameras, no GoPros, no selfie sticks, tripods or gimbals.
- No air horns or noise makers, no chairs or stools, no non-collapsible umbrellas, and no flags or banners carrying political messages or advertising.
- Fan boards are capped at A3 size (29.7cm x 43cm).
- Vapes will get you denied entry.
Allow time for security screening on the way in, particularly on the 17th when two matches share one door-opening time of 4pm.
What it means for you
A Brazil side of this ranking has not been a regular visitor, and the pricing tells you where the organisers expect demand. If the draw for you is the occasion rather than the opposition, 13 November at S$28 is the cheapest ticket of the four matches and the only one where the Lions play at a price close to a local league night. If it is Brazil you want, 17 November at S$98 gets them plus a second international on the same ticket, at half the per-match cost of the Saturday.
Whichever night you choose, get the zone right first.
