Syaqir Sulaiman

Mohamad Syaqir bin Sulaiman (born 12 August 1986) is a Singaporean footballer.

As a teenager, Sulaiman overheard his parents discussing how he was the least likely of his three siblings to make it to university. After writing "You can do it. I’m going to prove father wrong" in his cupboard, Sulaiman was motivated to do well in his studies and eventually enrolled in Nanyang Technological University. While attending university, he played as a professional footballer in the Singaporean top flight and coached at two schools.
