The Sports Hub will be Singapore's premier land and sea sports, entertainment and lifestyle hub with integrated programming. A unique cluster development of integrated world-class sports facilities within the city, it will play a critical role in accelerating the development of sports industry, excellence and participation and take sports to the next level in Singapore.
The Sports Hub neatly captures all three components in one masterstroke. It will draw international events to its world-class facilities, and offer events management enterprises some of the largest potential crowds ever to assemble in Singapore. It will encourage large numbers of people to adopt and pursue sports and make sports part of their life. And it will offer exceptionally compelling opportunities for sports-related enterprises, federations, and organizations to bring their message to an enormous, interested audience.
