The Singapore Football League (SFL) is an amateur football tournament for clubs that are affiliated to the Football Association of Singapore.[1] It makes up the second and third tier of football in Singapore after the professional Singapore Premier League, which was established in 1996 and before the FAS Island Wide League.[2] The teams are also eligible to compete in the Singapore FA Cup.[2]
Although it is an amateur competition organized by the FAS, several former Singapore internationals and ex-S.League players have played in the league such as Jonathan Xu, Indra Sahdan Daud, Precious Emuejeraye and Ahmad Latiff (Eunos Crescent), Yazid Yasin (Gymkhana FC) and Zulkiffli Hassim (Yishun Sentek Mariners).
