The Singapore Football Association Cup, (also known as the FAS FA Cup), is an annual football competition in Singapore. With the Singapore League Cup discontinued since 2017, the Singapore FA Cup is the second major domestic cup competition in Singapore after the Singapore Cup.
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.[1]
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.[2] 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.
Singapore Pools was the title sponsor until 2017.[3][4]
In 2023, the FA Cup made a return after being briefly halted for three years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[5]
