The Singapore Sports Hub National Stadium has a seating system that can be reconfi gured to host a variety of team sports.
What role does the Hub play in the daily lives of Singapore citizens?
What advantages does the Hub offer international sporting events?
The 55,000-seat National Stadium, within the Sports Hub complex, will be the only stadium in the world that can host rugby, cricket, football, and athletics. This allows the venue to cater to an array of different sporting communities and enables event organisers to be creative and take advantage of this unique space. The National Stadium is also fi tted with state- of-the-art technology, such as a bowl cooling air distribution system designed to keep every spectator comfortable while they cheer on their team. This is enhanced by the stadium having the largest free-spanning domed roof in the world. Along with its retractable canopy, this structure will help to prevent adverse weather conditions from disrupting play.
To add, we have several other unique, state-of-the-art, world-class venues including an Aquatic Centre, Sports Halls and Waterfront for boating to encourage a diverse spectrum of international sports to be played here at the Sports Hub.
From a regional perspective, the Sports Hub is already starting to attract more international competitions by offering a unique, world-class venue to stage international tournaments and pre- season warm-up matches. For example, Asia is a lucrative region for Premier League football teams to visit in their off-season and Singapore’s developing sporting infrastructure is making its intentions clear. Our goal, as a fully integrated sports, entertainment and lifestyle ecosystem, is for Singapore to soon become the gateway destination for premier international events.
It will be a place where each and every one – young and old – can come together to watch, learn and play sports, have dinner with their family by the waterfront or visit the Singapore Sporting Museum or Library with their children over the weekend. To help encourage active lifestyles, community facilities such as: fi tness corners, running and cycling paths, beach volleyball, hard courts for basketball, lawn bowls, skate park, giant chess, leisure water facilities, dragon boating, canoeing, kayaking and climbing wall will be easily accessible for Singaporeans.
What’s the time line to opening and can you reveal anything about the opening night?
We are gearing up for opening in April 2014. We can promise that it will capture the imagination of everyone who comes to the Singapore Sports Hub.
