Singapore Gets the World Cup in Hot‑newness
Remember when the FIFA World Cup rolled into Singapore for the first time back in 2002? For the first time in 16 years, fans won’t have to break the bank for cheering on the world’s best.
Same Price, New Team-up
On April 25, Singtel, StarHub and Mediacorp announced a joint‑venture that promises rush‑hour, stadium‑size excitement in the palm of your hand. From now until the 22nd of May, the subscription stays at $94.16; after that it climbs to $112.35, exactly the same as it has been since the 2014 World Cup.
- First time there’s been no price increase ever since the paid subscriptions debuted.
- All 64 matches featured on a single package (no hidden costs).
Voices from the Front Line
Mr. Yuen Kuan Moon, CEO of Consumer Singapore at Singtel said, “We’ve been in the front row for the World Cup since 2010. This time we’re spreading the seats—everyone gets a front‑row view on Singtel TV, the loyal Singtel TV GO platform, and the CAST app.”
Mr. Tan Tong Hai, CEO of StarHub added, “Football brings people together, just like any big party. With matchday one upon us, we’re firing up the fuels that keep everyone glued to the game—sight, sound and all that can’t be replicated online.”
Ms. Tham Loke Kheng, CEO of Mediacorp highlighted that the Toggle service will stream all 64 matches while nine of the most crucial games will be freely broadcast on okto (the channel that’s been available on free-to-air TV). “These dramas come with our own commentary plates,” she said, “you’ll get highlights, interviews, and analysis that ride the waves of soccer history.”
What to Expect
All packages will be accessible via:
- Singtel TV/GO and CAST
- StarHub TV and Go
- Toggle (Mediacorp)
And you still get nine key matches on free‑to‑air TV—that’s more than any previous year’s effort! So you can keep your cord on the couch and still enjoy the football frenzy.
