RTM World Cup Schedule (17-22 Jun)



Sports Hub: How to get there

Sports Hub: How to get there

With 30,000 people expected to converge at the Singapore Sports Hub for multiple events next weekend, organisers on Thursday (June 19) outlined their plans on how the public can access the venue.

The Sports Hub is easily accessible by various transport modes. Three MRT stations - Stadium, Mountbatten and Kallang - are within walking distance. Seven bus services and three taxi stands provide more options. Major expressways also feed into the multiple entry and exit points which serve the hub.

Those who plan to drive to the new National Stadium when there is an event happening there should remember to buy their parking tickets first. Without one, you will not be able to park at the Stadium.

"During event days in the National Stadium, no parking is available unless you buy a pre-purchased parking lot," said Mr Eric Tan, Managing Director of DTZ. "You need to go to our website to purchase the parking lot. When you arrive, display your decal and we will guide you to your lot. If you do not pre-purchase, there will be no lots for anyone who tries to find a parking lot."

The pre-purchase is only for some 800 lots located within the National Stadium. You still have more than 3,000 other parking lots to choose from at the Sports Hub, the Singapore Indoor Stadium and Kallang Leisure Park Mall.

Members of the public can purchase the pre-sold parking on a first-come-first-served basis at www.sportshubtix.sg or at all Singapore Post outlets. Each ticket costs $10.70 and is valid from 7am of the event day till 7am the next morning.

Organisers have also printed a guide map to inform the public about how to access the Sports Hub. 50,000 copies will be distributed to residents living around the Stadium, and more copies will be made available island-wide.

There is also a hotline (6653-8900) and website (www.sportshub.com.sg) where similar information is available. For the whole of July, members of the public can try out the facilities in the hub free of charge - the free trials will cover various indoor games as well as swimming and kayaking.

Larkin Stadium set for Super League

Larkin Stadium set for Super League

The use of the Tan Sri Hassan Yunus Stadium in Larkin here is for only football activities and will not stifle the growth of athletics and sports in the state.

Johor Youth, Sports, Culture and Heritage committee chairman Datuk Zulkarnain Ahmad Tajuddin (BN-Parit Sulong) said the stadium popularly known as the Larkin Stadium is the home ground to the Johor Darul Ta'zim football team.

Other facilities in the stadium such as the track had been removed to make way for the football teams taking part in the Malaysian Super League (MSL).

At the state assembly here on Monday, Datuk Samsol Bari Jamali (BN-Semarang) said that closing the stadium to other sporting activities was a concern among the people and short-term measures needed to be taken to curb the problem.

In his reply, Zulkarnain said those who had used the facilities at Larkin Stadium in the past can choose to use other facilities in their district to carry out sporting activities.

"There are stadiums in every district in the state to facilitate the needs of the athletes.

"Short-term measures for athletes in Johor Baru is to access the Universiti Teknologi Malaysia, Skudai (UTM) Stadium and also the Educity Sports Centre in Nusajaya," he said.

For instance, Zulkarnain said the Johor contingent to the Malaysian Games (Sukma) athletes used the facilities at the SM Tun Hussien Onn in Kluang, which is the official state centralising training camp for the contingent.

"The State Sports Council has a close rapport with the respective district stadium operators, management and owners, thus they have always been given priority in the development of athletes and are allowed to use the facilities to organise championships or training."

For long-term solution, Zulkarnain said the state government has given the approval for the Johor Baru Sport City to be built in Mount Austin to replace the Larkin Stadium.

He said the prestigious stadium will be fitted with the state-of-the-art facilities namely track and field facilities, a field, a futsal court, a fitness centre, gymnasium, a sports clinic, rehabilitation centre, a recreation centre, a sport-science facility managed by the state sports council and hostels, among others.
