ANNEX C – Singapore Sports Hub Fact Sheet
The Sports Hub will be Singapore’s premier sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub. A unique cluster development of integrated world-class sports facilities next to the city, it will play a critical role in accelerating the fusion of sports industry, excellence and participation and take sports to the next level in Singapore.
Located on a 35ha site in Kallang, the Sports Hub will include the following facilities:
A new 55,000-capacity National Stadium with a retractable roof;
A 6,000-capacity indoor Aquatic Centre that meets world tournament standards;
A 3,000-capacity multi-purpose arena which will be scalable and flexible in layout;
The existing 12,000-capacity Singapore Indoor Stadium; and
Supporting leisure and commercial developments
With its world-class facilities, the Sports Hub will be the Centre for Singapore’s elite athletes and high performance management as well as an ideal location for sports and entertainment events, sports administration, and sports and recreation businesses.
It will help to create a critical mass of international, regional and local sports federations and associations, sports medicine and sports science service providers, sports related training and education service providers, sports companies’ sales and marketing headquarters, and retail outlets.
About 34,000 sq m of the Hub will be set aside for leisure and commercial development opportunities
Located near the Marina Bay area, the Sports Hub is well connected to the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network as well as major expressways.
In the years to come, Marina Bay is expected to become a bustling global business and financial hub. With its distinctive location, it is set to become a dynamic 24/7 waterfront ‘Garden City by the Bay’.
The Hub is the first and largest sports facilities infrastructure Public-Private-Partnership (PPP) projects in the world. It is also Singapore’s largest and flagship PPP project of this nature.
The Singapore Government is fully committed to this project and is looking forward to working with private sector partners to capitalise on its full potential.
