SINGAPORE, 8 APRIL 2021 – In partnership with title sponsor AIA Singapore and official ball partner SELECT Sport, the Singapore Premier League (SPL) will present monthly awards for the 2021 season for four categories: Player, Young Player, Coach and Goal.
AIA will be sponsoring the Player of the Month and Young Player of the Month accolades with rewards of $500 and $250 respectively, while SELECT Sport will sponsor the Goal of the Month award with a prize money of $200.
