SINGAPORE, Sept. 10, 2026 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Concorde International Group (Nasdaq:CIGL) is pleased to announce its subsidiary, Concorde Security, as the Official Security Partner of Hougang United Football Club (HGFC) for the 2026/27 season. Through this partnership, Concorde Security will support the Club in providing a safe and welcoming matchday environment for supporters, families and the wider football community.
Under the partnership, Concorde Security will support security operations at HGFC home matches in Singapore with trained security officers and marshals overseeing crowd management and access control. Its proprietary i-Facility Sprinter (IFS), a mobile command-and-control vehicle, staffed by a dedicated on-board security team, will also be deployed for real-time coordination and incident response.
Complementing this deployment, Concorde Security’s mobile CCTV system, i-FlexCam (IFC), will be positioned across the venue and connected to the IFS. This integrated set-up will provide broader on-site visibility and enable the entire security team to identify and respond swiftly to developing situations, contributing to a safer and more secure matchday experience.
The introduction of these mobile security capabilities represents a first-of-its-kind initiative in Singapore professional football, combining on-ground security personnel with mobile technology to further strengthen the management of the matchday environment.
Built around the message “Keeping the Game Safe, Keeping the Community Together,” the partnership reflects the shared belief of Concorde Security and HGFC that a safe and well-managed matchday provides the foundation for players, supporters, families and communities to come together through football.
Mr Alan Chua, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of Concorde International Group, remarked, “Great security creates an environment where everyone can enjoy the occasion with confidence and peace of mind. When fans step into the stadium and feel safe, they are free to focus on what truly matters: the game, the team and the community they support. That is the discipline and commitment we bring to every matchday.”
Mr Bill Ng, Chairman of Hougang United Football Club, said, “Football is about bringing people together, and we want our supporters and families to come to our matches, enjoy the game and feel safe. We are very pleased to have Concorde Security on board as a valued partner of the Club. Their experience, people and use of technology bring an added dimension to our matchday security operations, and we look forward to working closely with them to provide a safe and welcoming environment for everyone.”
Beyond the deployment of matchday security personnel and technology, Concorde Security and HGFC will collaborate on content and initiatives highlighting the people and work behind safe matchdays and the role security plays in bringing the football community together.
The partnership will make its matchday debut when Hougang United open the 2026/27 Singapore Premier League season against Lion City Sailors on 12 September 2026 at Bishan Stadium, with kick-off at 7.30pm.
