Sengkang Punggol is now Hougang United and will be debt-free soon

Sengkang Punggol have been rebranded as Hougang United as club chairman Bill Ng believed this will bring the club closer to the community.

The home stadium of the club is Hougang Stadium.

The new mascot of the team will be Cheetah

The chairman has also announced he expect the club to be debt-free by the end of next season and after that, the club can then finally move forward.

Hougang United has been in debt for a long time even before Bill Ng took over so credit has to go to him.

However, the tough part is set to come after this news have been announced.

Their supporters will, sooner or later, start to question when the club will start to spend some money (as they are debt-free) and move up the table as the club have been grounded in the bottom three since the merger of Sengkang Marine and Paya Lebar Punggol back in 2007.

Still, Bill Ng should have expected this before announcing this news so he may have plans.
