Division D

Division D is the lowest level of the Secondary School Football League. Division D is split into 2 smaller leagues where both leagues have 23 schools each, it also has a promotion and relegation system. Each school plays 2 times against an opponent resulting in a total of 44 matches being played and the winner of each league is promoted automatically to Division C. The league also incorporated a promotion playoffs system in the 2023 season where the schools that finished 2nd to 5th in each league compete in a one-legged tie of the quarter finals. After the quarter finals, the winners of the semi finals progress to the final which is contested at Woodlands Stadium. The school that finishes with the most points wins with a win for 3 points, a draw for 1 point and a loss for 0 points.

History:

In the first season of Division D (2022), Division D Group 2 was know as Division E at that time. In Group 1, the 22 schools that competed were in order by name. Since Queensway Secondary was the 32nd school in Division C, the 1st school for Division D Group 1 was Raffles Girls and Tanjong Katong Secondary was the 22nd. In Group 2/Division E, the 21 schools that competed followed a similar format where the 1st school was Teck Whye Secondary and Zhonghua Secondary was the 21st. The first season of Division D and E was mainly a qualification season as 2023 was the year where the SSFL officially started. The qualification process would be as followed: 1st - 4th would go up to Division A, 5th - 8th would go up to Division B, 9th - 12th would go up to Division C, 13th and below onwards would stay in Division D and E

In 2026, Crest Secondary, Northlight Secondary and Spectra Secondary were invited by the Singapore Schools Sports Council to participate in the 2026 SSFL season. Crest Secondary would be joining Division D Group 1 while Northlight Secondary and Spectra Secondary would participate in Division D Group 2. This would mean that each league would now have 23 schools competing inside.
