National Football Academy (Singapore)

The National Football Academy, commonly referred to as NFA, was a football academy in Singapore. It was established by the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) on 13 August 2000 with the aim of developing Singapore's most promising young footballers. Trainees were scouted through a systematic talent identification process before being given the chance to develop their skills under some of the best youth coaches in the country. With teams at every age level from Under-14 to Under-18, the NFA coordinates the development of young Singaporean footballers at a national level through the domestic league system, international youth tournaments as well as overseas training attachments. The NFA Under-18 team was made up of promising Singaporean players under the age of 18 and served as a feeder team mainly to the Young Lions as well as other clubs in the S. League. The FAS enters both the NFA Blues Under-17 and NFA Reds Under-18 teams in the Prime League, the official reserve league of the S. League, to allow their players to gain more exposure and match experience by playing against older and more experienced players. The NFA Under-15 and Under-16 teams also participate in the annual Lion City Cup organised by the FAS since 2011. The NFA has produced many graduates who went on to represent the Singapore national team.
