FAS issues Request for Proposal for 10th football club in SPL
FAS issued a Request for Proposal (RFP) on Wednesday (6 Dec), seeking proposals from interested parties to participate as the 10th club in the SPL.
Founded in 1996, the SPL currently has nine teams competing in it, including two non-Singaporean clubs.
FAS said that it hopes to raise the level of professional football in Singapore through the move, by attracting top football talents and garnering significant fan engagement.
The submitted proposals should contain the following information:
- Introduction and overview of the club
- Ownership and management of the club
- Home stadium and training venue for the club
- Player recruitment and youth development
- Coaching and technical structure of the club
- Fan engagement and marketing plans of the club
In addition, interested parties should provide information regarding the club’s financial plan — it must demonstrate a “sustainable revenue source” and that it’s not receiving financial support.
At least 3 parties reportedly interested to join
Eager parties have until 6pm on 20 Dec to submit their expression of interest via this email address.
They will then have four weeks to submit a detailed proposal for FAS’ consideration.
More information can be found on FAS’ website here.
The Straits Times reported that they’re aware of at least three interested parties. One of them is Tengah Football Club, which came runners-up in this year’s Island Wide League, the fourth-tier league in Singapore.
