The Singapore National Olympic Council, or commonly SNOC, (Chinese: 新加坡国家奥运理事会) is a registered society, recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). SNOC was founded in 1947 as Singapore Olympic and Sports Council (SOSC), and subsequently renamed in 1970. It is also the body responsible for Singapore's representation at multi-sport major Games.

The SNOC has sent athletes to Asian Games, Commonwealth Games, SEA Games, Asian Youth Games, Youth Olympic Games, Winter Youth Olympic Games, Winter Olympic Games and the Summer Olympic Games, with relative success proportionate to the size of the country.

The IOC code for Singapore has changed from SIN to SGP in September 2016, and is first used in Danang 2016, Asian Beach Games.[1] The SNOC is currently helmed by Mr Tan Chuan-Jin, who is also the 10th Speaker of the Parliament of Singapore.[2]

Singapore Sports Awards[]

In 1968, the SNOC introduced the Singapore Sports Awards to recognise athletes who made significant achievements.[3] It includes coveted awards such as Sportsman and Sportswoman of the Year, as well as Team of the Year and Coach of the Year. The awards cover a wide variety of categories, and also honours other parts of the fraternity apart from athletes and officials. A new award category, Best Sports Photo of the Year, was also introduced since 2017.
