Jalan Besar Stadium
Jalan Besar Stadium, built in 1932, is considered the birthplace of Singaporean football. It was here that the Malaya Cup (later known as the Malaysia Cup) was held from 1932 to 1973. The stadium also played host to many major events in Singapore's history, such as the first Singapore Youth Festival in 1955, the first Singapore Armed Forces Day in 1969, and the 1984 National Day Parade.
With a capacity of 6000, Jalan Besar Stadium is one of the competition venues for the inaugural 2010 Youth Olympics.
