At the wider sporting level, MCCY announced the formation of Sport Excellence Singapore (SpexSG), consolidating the High Performance Sport Institute (HPSI), Singapore Sports School (SSP) and Unleash the Roar (UTR).
“While each entity will retain its own branding and identity, the consolidation will transform the end-to-end journey of our national athletes to be more integrated and seamless,” said a MCCY spokesperson, in response to queries from CNA.
The move will provide Singapore athletes stronger support to stay longer in competitive sports while deepening partnerships with National Sports Associations (NSAs) to strengthen the broader sporting ecosystem, said the ministry.
In the immediate term, SpexSG will focus on three key things: enhanced athlete-centric support, strengthening and partnering NSAs, and deepening specialist capabilities. It will be launched next month.
