Singapore made its World Championship debut in 2022, and has also played in the Challenge Cup of Asia, a regional tournament for lower-tier hockey national teams in Asia. Until the 2024 Division III Group B tournament, they are unable to participate in the IIHF World Championship tournament in 2025 due to the JCube Ice Rink (the only indoor Olympic-size ice rink in the city-state) closed in 2023,[2] and cannot meet their minimum participation standards.
