The 2024 Singapore Youth League is the inaugural season of Singapore Youth League (SYL). The inaugural season is set to feature over 200 registered teams from 52 clubs and academies across various age groups. The league will kick off on the weekend of 24 and 25 February 2024.[1]
The competition will involve children of various age groups from U-8s, U-10s, U-12s, U-13s, U-15s and U-17. A promotion-relegation system, with three divisions planned for U-13s, U-15s and U-17s, are in the planning.[2]
Prior to the inaugural season, teams will undergo an initial classification round of matches to help determine their level. Based on the results of the classification round, teams will be placed in divisions consisting of sides of similar strength for the league proper. The SYL will include a promotion/relegation feature across all age groups, where teams can move up or down divisions based on performance.[1]
The groups for the classification round were drawn on 6 February 2024.[1] The results of the draw was posted via SYL social media.[3]
On 27 April 2024, 3 SYL matches that was to be played at Bukit Gombak Stadium were postponed due to the stadium being used for an archery competition between 25 and 28 April.[5] The affected matches were Woodlands Lions U13 against Hougang U13, Geylang U13 against National Development Centre girls’ U15 and Woodlands Warriors U17 against ActiveSG U17.[5] According to clubs' statements, SYL organisers failed to secure the venue and communicate the lack of venue to the various clubs.[5]
