Singapore FA Cup final postponed due to haze as more outdoor events called off
Several other outdoor events have already been called off or rescheduled because of the haze, including the Great Eastern Women's Run and the Purple Parade.
The Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has postponed the FA Cup final and the third-place play-off, which were scheduled for Saturday, October 17, at Jurong East Stadium. According to CNA - Singapore, the decision follows the Pollutant Standards Index (PSI) in the western region exceeding 200, breaching the threshold for amateur matches under the FAS-Singapore Premier League Haze Management Protocol. The 24-hour PSI reached a yearly record high of 229 on Friday.
The postponement is part of a growing list of sporting and community events affected by poor air quality. Channel News Asia reports that the Great Eastern Women’s Run and the Purple Parade have also been called off or rescheduled due to the haze. While air quality improved on Saturday morning, readings remained in the unhealthy range. FAS stated that the matches will be rescheduled and further details will be announced later.
