Our History

Sengkang Punggol Football Club (previously known as Marine Castle United Football Club and Sengkang Marine FC) was formed in 1981 by residents of Marine Parade with the basic aim of playing 7-a-side tournaments which was then very popular. The name of the club came about when Newcastle United of England visited Singapore in 1981. It was decided then that they would name their club Marine Castle United Football Club because all the members were residents of Marine Parade and they were fans of Newcastle United.

The club was registered with the ROS on the 19 October 1981. In 1982, the club drew up a four year youth development programme from which it hoped to produce its players from 1986 onwards.

The programme proved a success as their protege did themselves proud by being selected to represent Singapore in youth tournaments. No surprise then that their young squads went on to achieve some noteworthy results in competitions they participated in, like:

In 1984 - National U-16 unbeaten up to quarter-finals

In 1985 - National U-18 Second Round

In 1986 - Champions Zulkifli Mohd Soccer Tournament

In 1987 - FAS Single knock-out Tournament, unbeaten

In more recent times though, Sengkang Punggol Football Club's achievements had not been too impressive in the years leading to S-League's formation in 1995. It was not among the eight teams selected to pioneer Singapore's first foray into professional football. Since then, its non selection seemed to have given the club the motivation and impetus it needed to go on to achieve the real success that had eluded it since its inception.

In 1995 when Sengkang Punggol Football Club first applied to join the S-League, it had no track record to support its cause. The picture is different now. The two year absence has got Sengkang Punggol Football Club's tail up and it has gone on to show skeptics that they have what it takes for the big time, in performance terms. The records speak for themselves:

In 1995 - FA Cup Semi-Final

In 1996 - NFL Div.1, Group Champions

In 1997 - NFL Div.1, Runner-up

In 1998 - 11th Position, Sleague Of 11 Teams

In 1999 - 12th Position, Sleague Of 12 Teams

In 2000 - 11th Position, Sleague Of 12 Teams

In 2006, Sengkang Marine FC collaborated with Paya Lebar Punggol FC to form the current Sengkang Punggol FC.
