The 2024–25 season is Hougang United's 27th consecutive season in the top flight of Singapore football and in the Singapore Premier League and the Singapore Cup.
The women team will participate in the Women's Premier League.
Season overview
Following their 2022 Singapore Cup victory, Hougang United's 2023 season started with high hopes. However, a slow start in the SPL, with just one win in their first seven matches, dashed their title aspirations. A coaching change sparked a turnaround, leading the Cheetahs to a Singapore Cup final appearance before ultimately falling to Lion City Sailors.
Transfer
Looking ahead to 2024, Hougang United is undergoing a significant squad overhaul. Key figures like Zaiful Nizam, Nazrul Nazari, Anders Aplin, Shahdan Sulaiman, and soon-to-be-naturalized Kristijan Krajcek will provide experience and continuity. Underperforming players have been released, paving the way for fresh talent.
The Cheetahs are embracing a Balkan influence with the signings of Ensar Brunčević (former Balestier defender), Stjepan Plazonja, Petar Banović, and Faris Hasic from Croatia and Bosnia. Additionally, Puttipat Kaewsawad joins on loan, while Shodai Yokoyama arrives from league champions Albirex Niigata (S).
This revamped Hougang United squad appears poised to challenge for success in the upcoming season.
Pre-season
In pre-season friendlies, the team enjoyed victories over Geylang International, Lion City Sailors, and Tanjong Pagar United. However, they fell short against Young Lions and BG Tampines Rovers.
Additionally, they participated in the SMJ Cup organized by Sabah FC, competing alongside Kuching City FC, Kuala Lumpur FC, and the hosts themselves.
