They love his nasi padang.

Singapore's loss in the 2026 World Cup Asian qualifier game with Thailand unexpectedly turned the spotlight onto local goalkeeper Hassan Sunny.

He was dubbed the "King of Football of the people" by Chinese football fans, as his 11 saves in the game indirectly helped China advance to the next round.

This led to Chinese fans idolising the keeper, swarming his family's nasi padang stall and even transferring money via the stall's QR code.

Following his surge to fame, the goalie made a trip to Shanghai over the Hari Raya Haji long weekend, where he was warmly welcomed by fans.
Trailed by fans
Hassan took the chance to make an appearance at three CapitaLand malls in Shanghai.

Puah Tze Shyang, chief executive officer of CapitaLand's investment arm in China told The Straits Times that the company has “always been a bridge between the two countries”.

CapitaLand's website lists 284 properties in China, and marks its 30th anniversary in the country this year.

"When we found out Hassan planned to take a family holiday for the long weekend, we invited him to experience Shanghai and meet some of his new fans," he said.

According to CapitaLand, it did not publicise Hassan’s tour.

Still, eagle-eyed fans spotted the goalie and spread the word on social media.

The newly minted star thus found himself tailed by at least 20 fans from mall to mall, hoping to get his autograph and a photo with him.
"Loving the love"
Photos and videos supplied by CapitaLand showed Hassan meeting fans, signing footballs, and even serving nasi lemak at a food cart specially set up for him.

He was also seen playing football with some of them.

Hassan revealed that no Chinese sponsors have approached him.

And while Chinese-founded cryptocurrency exchange HTX has announced that he was appointed "chief safeguarding officer", he said discussions are still ongoing.

As for the money that streamed in via his nasi padang store's QR code, he said he'd stopped the payments after hearing about a scam involving fake QR codes circulated through videos.

Hassan added that he will soon pick which charities he will donate the funds to.

Despite talks about sponsorships and other new doors opened by his newfound celebrity status, the goalie seemed content basking in the joys of the present.

Lions goalkeeper Hassan Sunny's nasi padang stall drew large crowds and numerous five-star reviews from Chinese football fans following his performance in Singapore's World Cup qualifier match against Thailand on Tuesday (June 11).

Thailand needed to win with a three-goal margin to make it to the final round of Asia's qualifiers. It clinched the match, but the 3-1 score was not enough to stop second-placed China from advancing to the next stage.

Chinese fans attributed China's progress to Hassan's heroics in the match, where he chalked up 11 saves, as well as Iksan Fandi's goal.

The 40-year-old was lauded by the fans as a hero and trended on Chinese social media.

In Singapore, they flocked to his stall, Dapur Hassan, at a coffee shop in Block 144 Tampines Street 12. Pictures posted by multiple users on Xiaohongshu on Wednesday showed long queues.

Some Chinese football fans also snapped pictures with the stall's green signboard.

"The saviour of the Chinese national football team, the Singaporean goalkeeper who sells nasi lemak has become famous," wrote one netizen who patronised the stall.

"Eating this nasi lemak on behalf of 1.3 billion people," wrote another.

Singaporean Keith Ong, a regular of the coffee shop, told The Straits Times: "Usually there's less than 20 people (queueing at the stall). Today was a drastic difference, it was jam packed."

The 39-year-old said there were more than 50 people in the queue by the time he left at noon.

"You could tell that everybody came for Hassan, they looked Chinese, and they were using Douyin," he added.

Several Chinese fans also left five-star Google reviews for the stall, though many did not talk about the food and some admitted to not having visited the stall.

One review said: "Although we don't know each other, I appreciate the hope and effort you have brought to Chinese fans. A person who can sacrifice themselves for others deserves praise for everything they do."

"The great goalkeeper still received a yellow card for delaying time even when Singapore was trailing. He sent the Chinese team from the ICU to KTV. Thank you, Singapore," wrote another reviewer.

Fans transferred money to stall
Some fans in China also showed their appreciation by transferring money to Hassan's business. The stall's QR payment code had circulated on social media.

One fan told Sina News: "At first, I wanted to transfer ＄188.88 as it was an auspicious number. But I realised it would mean transferring more than 1,000 yuan, so I calmed myself down and decided to transfer ＄50."

"＄50 is around 268.88 yuan, which also sounds quite auspicious, so I made the transfer right away. Paying this sum to express my love for the Chinese football team is money well-spent."

A six-second clip of Hassan thanking the Chinese fans has also gone viral on Chinese social media platform Weibo, garnering over 150 million views. The hashtag "Singapore goalie thanks Chinese fans" was also used about 19,000 times.
