The Ministry of Culture, Community and Youth (MCCY) and Sport Singapore (SportSG) have been committed to using sports as a tool to build a cohesive and inclusive society, ensuring that Singapore remains a place where everyone can succeed. By connecting and uniting people through sports, we strengthen a uniquely Singaporean identity and culture, fostering a shared sense of belonging across different backgrounds. Our efforts focus on bringing sports to children and youths, providing convenient and affordable access to public sports facilities, and empowering people of all abilities and ages to participate actively. At the same time, we are dedicated to advancing our athletes to their full sporting potential, inspiring national pride and excellence. Through these initiatives, we encourage all Singaporeans to contribute, reinforcing the role of sports in creating a vibrant, inclusive, and united nation.
The NYSI, SSI, and SSP will be consolidated and integrated into a single entity. Their current functions supporting youth and senior athletes will be streamlined into an integrated and seamless youth-to-senior support framework. This integration will strengthen and enhance service delivery to athletes.
As a first step, SSI and NYSI will integrate to form a new sport institute from 1 April 2025. The new sport institute will come together with SSP at a later date.
Sport Singapore (SportSG), in collaboration with the Agency for Integrated Care (AIC), is expanding its Frailty Prevention Programme (FPP) through Active Ageing Centres (AACs) to promote healthy ageing and social connections among seniors. Supporting national initiatives like HealthierSG and Age Well SG, the FPP includes two key components:
Active Health Fitness Trail
Residents living in the Mei Ling precinct within the Queenstown Health District can look forward to the launch of the Active Health Fitness Trail later this year. This collaboration between SportSG and HDB aims to promote active living through sport and exercise science. The trail connects various fitness corners and integrates Singapore Physical Activity Guidelines (SPAG) recommendations, featuring zones for strength, balance, mobility, and aerobic exercises. It includes health tip signages, behavioral nudges, and environmental structures like benches and railings for safe exercise environments for seniors. Additionally, self-assessment stations allow seniors to test functional performance, such as balance and gait, fostering a healthier and more active community.
Hosting world-class sporting events enhances Singapore’s global reputation while bringing economic, social, and sporting benefits. Our athletes gain valuable experience competing against top international talent, while tourism spending and job creation boost the economy. These events also inspire greater sports participation, encouraging a healthier, more active community and nurturing future sporting talent.
Singapore will make history as the first Southeast Asian country to host the World Aquatics Championships (WCH) – Singapore 2025 (WCH2025), taking place from 11 July to 3 August at the Singapore Sports Hub and Sentosa. As part of our nation’s SG60 celebrations, this event highlights Singapore’s sporting achievements over the years. The WCH, World Aquatics’ flagship biennial competition, will bring together over 2,500 athletes from more than 200 national member federations.
Spectators can look forward to thrilling action across six aquatic sports: artistic swimming, diving, high diving, open water swimming, swimming, and water polo.
To build excitement and promote sports participation leading up to WCH2025, we are collaborating with schools and community partners on various engagement activities. Key initiatives include:
Schools and the public are encouraged to complete these specially curated activities and earn points via the GameOn SG60 web app to redeem rewards, such as discounted tickets, limited-edition WCH premiums, and more. Participants will also have a chance to enter a lucky draw, with further details on rewards and redemption to be announced in due course.
A large-scale event showcasing five aquatic sports—swimming, water polo, diving, artistic swimming, and open water swimming—for competitors aged 25 and above. It is expected to draw around 6,000 participants, both local and international, seeking to gain experience and compete on a global stage.
Singapore will proudly host the World Para Swimming Championships (WPSC) 2025, the premier international swimming competition outside of the Paralympic Games. Taking place from 21 to 27 September 2025 at the OCBC Aquatic Centre in the Singapore Sports Hub, WPSC 2025 will celebrate the achievements of Team Singapore’s para-athletes while inspiring more persons with disabilities to engage in para swimming and para sports.
The event is expected to welcome approximately 600 athletes and 400 team officials from 60 countries, along with an estimated 15,000 spectators.
In the lead-up to the Championships, SwimTogether Singapore will kick off a 100-day countdown from May 2025, building excitement and engagement within the community.
The WPSC 2025 website has been launched in January this year and ticket sales will commence in March 2025.
The refreshed Disability Sports Master Plan (DSMP), launched in November 2024, aims to empower individuals of all abilities and ages by promoting inclusive sports participation. With a goal of raising participation of persons with disabilities in disability sports to 70% by 2030, DSMP 2024 focuses on three key strategic themes, with partnerships playing a vital role in driving its success. The three key strategic themes include:
Para Sports Community Hubs (PSCHs)
PSCHs help to expand opportunities for people with disabilities to participate in sports, from recreational to high-performance levels. The first five PSCHs have been set up, and are located at:
Enabling Sports Fund (ESF)
The Enabling Sports Fund (ESF) with a target of $10 million by 2030 will be launched in the second half of 2025.
The ESF will provide funding support for impactful community-driven disability sports initiatives, including both regular programmes and one-off activities led by individuals, groups, or organisations. It will cover areas such as sports equipment purchases, transport support for participants and volunteers, and coaching fees. Applicants are encouraged to submit proposals that foster inclusivity by engaging participants of all abilities and involving the wider community through volunteer efforts.
One of the key events supported by the ESF is the Special Olympics Singapore National Games, held every four years. More details will be shared when available.
Corporates and individuals are encouraged to contribute actively to this Fund and support the broader disability sports ecosystem.
In partnership with the Ministry of Education (MOE), we are expanding the Strategic Partnership Co-Curricular Activities (SP-CCA) to offer new sports opportunities for children and youths.
Canoeing will be introduced in February 2025 - offered through existing ActiveSG Academies & Clubs, and Hockey will follow in 2026. The SP-CCA is a centralised, non-school-based CCA model co-organized by MOE and MCCY that enables secondary school students to explore activities beyond their school offerings and develop sports talents.
With Athletics (introduced in 2019) and Water Polo (introduced in 2022) already seeing steadily increasing enrolments, we will continue to work with MOE to further expand the programme.
Sport Facilities Master Plan (SFMP)
The Sports Facilities Master Plan (SFMP) is designed to ensure Singaporeans have convenient access to affordable public sports facilities, promoting an active and healthy lifestyle. By providing sports amenities close to homes and creating shared spaces for participation, the SFMP enables individuals to engage in sports and foster community connections.ActiveSG Circle aims to inspire and empower ActiveSG members to live better through sport. With a variety of content: from event listings, classes and programmes, to editorial articles and an extensive library of video content, ActiveSG Circle is at the pulse of all things sport, fitness and wellness, providing Singaporeans with a gateway to an active and sporty lifestyle.
