The Singapore FA Cup, (also known as the Singapore Pools FA Cup for sponsorship reasons), is an annual football competition in Singapore.[1] After the Singapore Cup and earlier League Cup, Singapore FA Cup is the third major cup competition in Singapore.
Initially held for clubs from the S.League from 1996 to 1998, the Football Association of Singapore decided to change format of the cup to allow only teams from National Football League to take part in the knock out competition from 1999, so that the S.League clubs can focus on the newly created competition, the Singapore Cup in 1998.[2]
For a number of years, the FA Cup was solely restricted to NFL clubs. In 2006, S.League clubs were once again allowed in the competition, but were only permitted to field their developmental Prime League teams.[3] The team matchups were drawn out of a hat against one another for the initial 2006 and 2007 seasons, before being seeded into two groups since 2008.
In 2023, the FA Cup returns after a 4 years hiatus due to COVID-19 Pandemic from 30 September 2023 to 19 November 2023.
