The Singapore Community Shield (formerly the Charity Shield), officially known as the Playback Community Shield for sponsorship reasons, is an annual match in Singapore football contested between the champions of the previous Singapore Premier League season and the Singapore Cup winners. If the same team wins both the league and the Singapore Cup, the match is played against the Singapore Premier League runners-up. The fixture is recognised as a competitive super cup by the Football Association and Asian Football Confederation.
History
[edit]The Charity Shield was first contested in 2008. In the inaugural match, the Singapore Armed Forces defeated Home United 5–4 on penalties following a 1–1 draw. The Shield also doubled up as the season's opening fixture in 2014 and remained so for all subsequent editions until 2018.[1]
Great Eastern and Yeo's are the co-sponsors for the Community Shield from 2008 to 2016. Great Eastern was the sole sponsor when Yeo's withdrew its sponsorship in 2017.[2]
On 23 February 2019, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) announced that AIA Singapore as the new title sponsor of the Singapore Premier League and Community Shield as part of a two-year agreement.[3]
On 28 August 2026, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) appointed Playback as the title sponsor of the Singapore Community Shield for the 2026–27 season. The competition was consequently named the Playback Community Shield for sponsorship reason.[4]
