context_page_description: Muhammad Safuwan bin Baharudin is a Singaporean footballer who currently plays as a defender or midfielder for Selangor. He is known for being a technical player with good pace, excellent reading of the game and ball-playing capabilities. He also has a knack for scoring goals.
  Starting off his professional career as a centre-back, Safuwan's attributes and versatility also allow him to play as a midfielder or forward when required.
context_section_description: Safuwan made his international debut for Singapore at the age of 19 in a King's Cup match against Thailand on 17 January 2010.
  Safuwan contributed to Singapore's then-record fourth ASEAN Football Championship win in 2012. He found himself increasingly paired with Baihakki Khaizan as regular centre-back Daniel Bennett was gradually phased out of the national team set-up.
  On 31 August 2017, Safuwan scored from the penalty spot to help Singapore snatch a draw against Hong Kong.
  He scored his first international hat-trick on 21 November 2018, helping Singapore to a 6-1 demolition of Timor-Leste in the 2018 AFF Championship.
