'We will do more to strengthen the sporting culture in Singapore,' said PM Wong during the National Day Rally
SINGAPORE: During the 2024 National Day Rally, Prime Minister Lawrence Wong announced a major push to strengthen Singapore’s sporting culture, with a targeted focus on further developing the area surrounding the Singapore Sports Hub.The Kallang Alive Master Plan is not merely a revamp of the Sports Hub landscape, as it promises to create a thriving and vibrant sporting ecosystem that will benefit Team Singapore athletes, weekend warriors, and the wider community.
“The indoor stadium is already 35 years old and no longer meets the requirements of today’s sporting and entertainment events. Currently, the Kallang Football Hub is used by the Singapore national football team as their National Training Centre and a development centre for the Unleash The Roar! Programme.
“In the past, parents were not so sure about their children pursuing sports as a career. More young athletes are taking sports seriously and training full time, with support from the government,” shared the Prime Minister.Mr Edwin Tong, Minister for Culture, Community, and Youth, echoed PM Wong’s vision, highlighting the power of sports to unite, inspire, and showcase the indomitable spirit of Singapore.
