The Singapore Sports Hub, home to venues such as the National Stadium and OCBC Arena, will now be known as The Kallang, it was announced on Nov 28.

Kallang Alive Sport Management, the company that manages the precinct, will also change its name to The Kallang Group. It said in a media statement that Kallang “presents more than a name or location. It is a powerful yet emotional symbol of national pride”.

The change comes as part of the group’s ambition to “become the excitement epicentre of Singapore - a place where global acts, local heroes and everyday Singaporeans unite to share unforgettable experiences that strengthen our national fabric,” said Keith Magnus, chairman of The Kallang Group.

With the rebranding comes a slew of changes. The Kallang Wave Mall will undergo renovations in the second quarter of 2026, with a refurbished plaza and new-look alfresco dining spaces along the Kallang Basin.
