2007 Singapore League Cup

Singapore League Cup 2007 Feb 2007 8 Woodlands Wellington Sengkang Punggol Home United 2008 Old Singapore League Cup The inaugural Singapore League Cup was held in 2007. The tournament was held before the start of the S.League season that year. Prior to this tournament, there is another tournament with the same name that was held until in 1997 where the Singapore Armed Forces had defeated Geylang United by 1-0 in the final. However that old Singapore League Cup was subsequently renamed into present Singapore Cup and evolved to be the major cup competition in Singapore football. In recent years, invitational foreign teams participated in the Singapore Cup along with the local clubs. The League Cup, however, is solely reserved for domestic clubs. The 2007 competition was sponsored by SingTel, and officially titled the SingTel League Cup. A direct knockout format was used, with the first round being the quarter-final stage as only eight out of the twelve S.League teams participated in the competition.http://footballdynamicsasia.blogspot.sg/2007/02/new-singapore-pre-season-cup-for.html New Singapore pre-season cup for S.League clubs Asian Football Business Review 9 April 2014 https://web.archive.org/web/20140413131616/http://footballdynamicsasia.blogspot.sg/2007/02/new-singapore-pre-season-cup-for.html 13 April 2014 dead The 4 teams who withdrew due to prior pre-season commitments were: Geylang United China Liaoning Guangyuan SAFFC Singapore Young Lions The winners received a prize of S$20,000 with the runners-up and second runners-up taking home S$10,000 and S$5,000 respectively.
