Singapore national football team has participated in the AFC Asian Cup since the start of the tournament. Since its inception in 1956, Singapore had not advanced through the qualifying rounds except in the 1984 AFC Asian Cup in which they qualified by hosting the tournament. In November 2025, Singapore qualified through the qualifying rounds for the 2027 AFC Asian Cup, marking the first time they did so.
1984 AFC Asian Cup
Regarded as a much weaker team in Asia, Singapore was eliminated from the group stage with four points, a 2–0 win over India and a 1–1 draw with Iran. The draw with Iran was considered a shock result as Iran was three times champions of the tournament.
