# 2023 Women's Premier League (Singapore)

The 2023 Women's Premier League (also known as the Deloitte Women's Premier League due to sponsorship reasons with audit firm Deloitte) was the 4th season of the Women's Premier League and the 22nd season of the top-flight women's football league in Singapore.

## Summary

10 teams will be participating in the 2023 season. The vast majority of matches will be played at Choa Chu Kang Stadium with the rest being played at Yishun Stadium, and Our Tampines Hub. Admission to all matches is free to the public. The stadiums suffered from poor pitches, lack of dugouts and insufficient changing rooms.
On 5 November 2023, Lion City Sailors (LCS) sealed their second consecutive title in the 2023 WPL season with an 11-0 victory against Geylang International. It was LCS' second title since its founding two years ago.
During FAS Awards Night 2023, Sailors' Yeong Sheau Shyan won the Coach of the Year for the second time in a row. Albirex Niigata (S) defender Kitahara Kana received the Deloitte Player of the Year award, while Dhaniyah Qasimah (Tanjong Pagar United) won Young Player of the Year.
