Singapore League Cup

The Singapore League Cup is an annual soccer competition in Singapore. It was launched in 2007, and is open to teams who play in the S.League.

The 2007 competition was sponsored by SingTel, and officially titled the SingTel League Cup. Eight of the tweleve S.League teams took part in the 2007 tournament, which concluded one week before the S.League season began, and thus functioned as a pre-season warm-up event for the teams involved. The winners of the 2007 event were Woodlands Wellington FC, who defeated Sengkang Punggol FC 4-0 in the final. A third-place match was also held between the two teams who lost in the semi-finals, and was won by Gombak United FC who defeated Home United FC 9-8 on penalties following a 1-1 draw.

In 2008, the competition's official sponsored name is the Avaya-J&J League Cup (with sponsorship coming from Avaya and Jebsen & Jessen Communications). All twelve S.League teams are taking part in the 2008 tournament. Unlike the 2007 event, the 2008 competition is being held during the S.League season instead of being a pre-season tournament.

Past results

Previous League Cup tournament (1997)

A competition called the Singapore League Cup was also held in Singapore in 1997. In that year it was won by the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club who defeated Geylang United FC 1-0 in the final. In 1998, that competition was renamed the Singapore Cup, and was opened to teams that do not play in the S.League. The Singapore Cup is now the major cup competition in Singapore football, and in recent years has involved invited teams from overseas in addition to teams playing in Singapore's local leagues.
