The Singapore Community Shield (also known as the AIA Community Shield due to sponsorship reasons; formerly the Charity Shield) is the curtain-raiser to the football season in Singapore. The match is contested between the champions of the previous Singapore Premier League season and the Singapore Cup winners. In a situation when the same team wins both competition, then it is contested between the Singapore Premier League's champions and runners-up.

History

The Community Shield (known then as the Charity Shield) was first contested in 2008. In the inaugural match, the Singapore Armed Forces defeated Home United 5–4 on penalties following a 1–1 draw. The Shield first doubled up as the season's opening fixture in 2014 and remained so for all subsequent editions until 2018.
Great Eastern is the co-sponsor for the Community Shield since 2008 and becomes the main sponsor in 2017. Yeo's is the other co-sponsor for the Community Shield from 2008 until 2016.
On 23 February 2019, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) announced that AIA Singapore as the new title sponsor of the Singapore Premier League and Community Shield as part of a two-year agreement.

Singapore Charity Shield er en årlig fodboldturnering, der afholdes i Singapore. Den er arrangeret af Singapore Football Association. Turneringen spilles mellem Singapore Premier League-mestrene og Singapore Cup-mestrene fra den foregående sæson. Holdene mødes i en enkelt kamp på et neutralt sted. Hvis kampen slutter uafgjort efter 90 minutter, vil der blive spillet forlænget spilletid, og hvis det stadig er uafgjort, vil der blive taget straffespark.

Turneringen blev først afholdt i 1998 med navnet Community Shield. Den blev omdøbt til Charity Shield i 2003. Indtægterne fra turneringen bliver doneret til velgørenhedsorganisationer.

Den mest succesfulde klub i Singapore Charity Shield er Tampines Rovers, der har vundet turneringen fire gange.
