Singapore Athletic Association (SAA) is a member of the International Association of Athletics Federations (IAAF) and domestically, it is responsible – by its legal status, its recognition from the IAAF and its own constitution – for sanctioning, promoting, expanding, and strengthening athletics in Singapore. Boasting a membership of 22 affiliate institutions, the Singapore Athletic Association (SAA) continues to build on its proud history and tradition as Singapore’s governing body in the track and field for the new millennium.

Founded in 1934, SAA’s historic footprints began more than 60 years ago when we opened our doors to Singapore’s early athletes at the Farrer Park Stadium. Since then, the SAA has toiled and grown, and is now poised to chart new territories for the future. Under the helm of a new dynamic team of volunteers and full-time secretariat, the association will take bold strides to nurture talents and work towards a holistic athlete development and making competitive athletics a viable career.
