The PUMA Youth Champions League (YCL) is a platform for Singapore’s top youth teams to compete against each other in a professional environment. Singapore’s top teams in six age-group categories from Under-10 to Under-16 will battle it out for island-wide supremacy in a year-long tournament.
Six teams will compete in each of the six age-group categories, with a total of 360 games being played each year to decide the champions of each category.
Adopting the European football calendar, each year is split into two halves with Season 1 scheduled for 5 September to 4 December 2022, while Season 2 will kick off in 2023, and run from 12 February to 28 May. A champion of each age-group category will be crowned at the end of each season.
PUMA are title sponsors on a two-year deal worth S$280,000.
