Last Saturday, we held our much-loved futsal tournament, now known as the Manimaran Cup, at Homeground Sports. The event saw 16 teams compete for the title trophy and cash prizes.
Group-stage matches were played over the course of the morning using the round-robin format, with points being accumulated for each win or draw. The 8 highest-ranked teams then advanced to the knock-out stage, which commenced after lunch. This stage was composed of the Quarter-Finals, Semi-Finals, Bronze Medal Match, and the Final.
During the prize presentation ceremony, Manimaran Ashukumar’s wife, Priscilla, delivered a speech to thank the party, its partners, and participants for coming together to make the tournament a success.
A huge thank you to the community for supporting the Manimaran Cup 2024, and congratulations to the winning teams!
Gold: Kampung Buangkok B
Silver: Kampung Buangkok A
Bronze: Revolution FC
See you all next year!

The Manimaran Cup was named in tribute to former SDP Central Executive Member and youth leader Manimaran Ashukumar, who passed away in 2023 at the age of 33. Mani was passionate about all things football as well as doing his best in service of making Singapore a better place.
The SDP aims to keep Mani's memory alive by bringing football/futsal lovers of different walks of life together and facilitating conversations on the sports scene in Singapore.
