# Using ChromeDriverManager to handle the Chrome driver

driver = webdriver.Chrome(service=service, options=options)

# Open the website
driver.get("https://online.singaporepools.com/en/sports")

# Wait for the page to load
time.sleep(6)

WebDriverWait(driver, 15).until(EC.presence_of_element_located((By.NAME, "upcomingFootball_filterBetType")))
# Locate the dropdown menu
dropdown = Select(driver.find_element(By.NAME, "upcomingFootball_filterBetType"))
# dropdown.click()

# Select the "1/2 Goal" option
dropdown.select_by_value("WH")

# Rest of your code

For the following above I got exception:

How to handle that?

>Solution :

You’re getting ElementNotInteractableException because during load your resource generates several invisible containers with dropdown with name upcomingFootball_filterBetType.

So when you’re getting first element, it is actually a backdrop that doesn’t have size or location and exception is thrown.

However, indicator of rendered tab is container that has selector .tab-pane.active .
You should just wait for it’s visibility and get inner dropdown element.

wait = WebDriverWait(driver, 15)
dropdown_container = wait.until(EC.visibility_of_element_located((By.CSS_SELECTOR, ".tab-pane.active [name=upcomingFootball_filterBetType]")))
dropdown = Select(dropdown_container)
dropdown.select_by_value("WH")
