2024 Women's Premier League (Singapore)
The 2024 Women's Premier League (also known as the Deloitte Women's Premier League due to sponsorship reasons with audit firm Deloitte[1]) is the 5th season of the Women's Premier League and the 23rd season of the top-flight women's football league in Singapore. The season began on 9 March 2024. SummaryNine teams will be participating in the 2024 season, following the withdrawal of 2023 fifth placed Police Sports Association. The league champions will receive S$25,000, while the second and third-placed teams will receive S$10,000 and S$7,500 respectively.[2] All the WPL's matches will be played at Choa Chu Kang Stadium.[3] Like previous season, admission to all matches is free to the public.[2] From 23 March, Choa Chu Kang Stadium was closed for maintenance after complaints from the first matchdays of poor pitch conditions.[4] Matches were temporarily played at Jalan Besar Stadium.[4] On 8 April, it was announced that matches from 14 April onwards would be played at two venues, Choa Chu Kang Stadium and ITE College East with one matchday at each venue.[5] While welcoming the change to allow pitch restoration at Choa Chu Kang Stadium, there was some concerns that Geylang International has a home advantage as the team trained there.[5] Albirex Niigata (S)’s 2023 WPL Player of the Year and Golden Boot winner Kana Kitahara will assume a dual player-head coach role for their women's team in 2024.[6] Lion City Sailors will also have a new face after promoting goalkeeping coach Daniel Ong to take over from Yeong Sheau Shyan, who led the side to back-to-back undefeated title-winning campaigns and was WPL Coach of the Year in 2022 and 2023.[6] Lion City Sailors won their third consecutive Women’s Premier League title and $25,000 prize money after a 6-0 victory over Still Aerion.
