Singapore’s first velodrome due for completion in December 2027
The Kranji facility is estimated to cost nearly S$3 million and will support Singapore’s track cycling preparations for the 2029 SEA Games.
Singapore’s national track cyclists are set to gain a home training venue when an outdoor velodrome in Kranji is completed by December 2027. Work on the project, with an estimated cost of nearly S$3 million, is planned to begin in January 2027.
The Quantum x RS Cycles Arena will incorporate a UCI-standard 250m track and become the national performance centre for the discipline. On Nov 14, the Singapore Cycling Federation (SCF) reached an agreement with Eastern Pacific Shipping to support the development. RS Cycles will provide funding as well.
SCF has included the venue in its Go for Gold campaign ahead of Singapore hosting the 2029 SEA Games. Its president, Hing Siong Chen, said Calvin Sim’s 2017 victory was the country’s most recent track cycling gold at the Games.
For now, national riders travel to Malaysian velodromes in Johor and Nilai, Negeri Sembilan, while balancing training with work or school. SCF high performance director Shayne Bannan said having a domestic venue would make daily, structured coaching possible and allow academy riders to train alongside national athletes.
The arena is also intended for community cycling activities and competitions involving local and regional riders. SCF’s Track Cycling Academy, established in January 2023 for those aged 14 to 18, aims to develop athletes for international competition, including the 2029 SEA Games.
