Fazrul Nawaz (born April 17, 1985) is a Singaporean footballer who plays as a striker for Geylang United.
[edit] Football career
Fazrul made his international debut for Singapore on 4 June 2005, against Malaysia, coming on as a substitute for Masrezwan Masturi, who had broken his nose.
In the second leg of the 2007 ASEAN Football Championship semi-final, Fazrul scored the 4th out of 5 successfully converted penalties for Singapore in a penalty shootout win over Malaysia.
In the 2007 South East Asian Games, Fazrul's performance in the group stages was largely criticised by the fans and the media. More criticism arose when he failed to score a penalty against Malaysia. If he had scored, Singapore would have avoided favourites Thailand in the semi-final match, which Singapore eventually lost 3-0, ending the nation's hopes for a gold or silver medal.
In the Bronze Medal placing match, Fazrul made amends for his poor performance by scoring a hat-trick in a 5-0 victory against Vietnam, winning the Football (Men's) Bronze Medal for Singapore.
[edit] Personal life
His father was a national boxer who also won a Bronze Medal in a SEA Games competition in the 70s.
