The Singapore Disability Sports Council (SDSC) is the national sports
body for the disabled in Singapore. It is a voluntary organisation
registered with the Commissioner of Charities.
Sports for the disabled formed the very cornerstone of SDSC’s existence.
SDSC’s goal is to promote, through sports, the well-being of the
disabled in Singapore, helping them to live full and independent lives. The Singapore Sports Council for the Disabled (renamed to the Singapore
Disability Sports Council in 1985) was jointly founded by the then
Ministry of Social Affairs, Ministry of Education, Ministry of Health,
and eight organisations for the disabled on 26th February 1973. Known as
the Singapore Sports Council for the Handicapped then, it was registered
with the Commissioner of Charities on 24th May 1973.

The flag of the SDSC is white with their logo. The SDSC logo depicts a burst of energy.
The vibrant colours of blue and green represent courage, confidence and
indomitable spirit of our athletes. The logo adopts an athletic stance suggesting sports and the attainment
of excellence. The arrow motif is a graphic representation of the Chinese character
“Li” (strength), while the oval frame represents the fullness of life
through sports.
