Muhammad Faris Ramli

Young Lions

Faris began his professional football career with Young Lions in the 2010 S.League.

LionsXII

In December 2012, the Football Association of Singapore announced that Faris was to join the LionsXII for the 2013 Malaysia Super League. He had his most prolific season yet in 2015, scoring 11 goals in all competitions, 8 in the MSL and 2 in the 2015 Malaysia FA Cup, which was won by the LionsXII, and 1 in the 2015 Malaysia Cup. He had scored the first goal in the 3–1 win over Kelantan that brought the Malaysia FA Cup to Singapore. His 8 goals in the league was good enough to see him finish the season as the LionsXII's top scorer in the league.

Home United

In 2016, although courted by high spending Tampines Rovers as well as Malaysia Super League clubs, Pahang and Selangor, Faris instead choose to signed for Home United for the 2016 S.League campaign after the LionsXII was disbanded following the conclusion of the 2015 MSL season. However, Faris sustained injuries in 2016. Although he was once again wooed by some MSL sides, Faris chose to extend his contract with Home. He started the 2017 season scoring 3 goals in 4 appearances in the league for Home. He also has a further 4 goals in 6 games in the 2017 AFC Cup, helping his team become the first team to qualify for the zonal semi-finals. In the 9–3 defeat of Brunei DPMM he scored 4 and assisted another 4. He eventually finished as the joint local top-scorer of the league with Shahril Ishak,…

Faris made his first international debut on 9 September 2014 against Hong Kong. He scored his first international goal against Cambodia on 17 November 2014 at the Yishun Stadium. By early March 2017, he had garnered 29 caps for Singapore. In the 2016 AYA Bank Cup and the 2019 AIRMARINE Cup, Faris scored the only goal in both game against Myanmar and causeway rivals, Malaysia which see Singapore advancing to the final of the cup respectively. In the 2020 AFF Championship, Faris made the front page for his stoppage-time penalty miss. Had Faris scored, Singapore would have defeated Indonesia and move on to the finals. However, the penalty miss ultimately caused 9-man Singapore to fall 4–2 to Indonesia after extra time, which caused some frustration amongst Singaporeans. On 26 March 2023, Faris earned his 75th cap for Singapore against Macau at the Macau Olympic Complex Stadium. In the 2022 AFF Championship, Faris failed to score despite two good opportunities against Laos, causing much widespread criticism for his playing style. While he managed to register his first goal of the tournament against Malaysia, Singapore would lose 4–1. In March 2024, Faris returned to the national team after nearly a year where on 21 March 2024, he scored the equalizer goal during the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualification match against China 8 seconds later from kick off after China scored a goal.
