The lead-up to 9th August during the month of July each year is also special as it marks Singapore Sports Hub’s birthday. The Hub turns six this July, and we would like to take this opportunity to thank partners, friends and family of the Hub for all these great years. We have lined up these activities to bring Singaporeans together to embrace the Singapore spirit. We are one Hub and one Nation and with one roar we celebrate what it means to call Singapore our home!”
