== Team image ==

=== Crest and colours === The club’s identity reflects Singapore’s national and maritime heritage. The name “Lion City” is derived from Singapore’s nickname, while “Sailors” symbolises the nation’s history as a major port city and its connection to the sea. The club crest, introduced following the privatisation and rebranding in 2020, represents a modern and professional outlook, emphasising ambition, progress and a new era for the club. Its clean and contemporary design signifies a departure from its past identity as Home United and reflects the club’s long-term vision in Singapore football.

The club’s colours are predominantly white and blue. White is primarily used for the home kit and symbolises a fresh beginning and unity, while blue, commonly featured in the away kit and detailing, represents the sea, stability and professionalism, aligning with the club’s “Sailors” identity and maritime theme.

=== Supporters === '''The Crew'''

Formed following the club’s privatisation and rebranding in 2020, The Crew is an official supporters’ group of Lion City Sailors. The group is made up of dedicated local fans who support the club during the home and away matches. Members of The Crew are known for organising chants, displaying banners and wearing the club’s white and blue colours on match days. The group has contributed to creating a vibrant atmosphere at matches and plays a role in supporting the club both domestically and in continental competitions.

== Stadium == [[File:Bishan Stadium and Sports Hall.JPG|thumb|269x269px|[[Bishan Stadium]] has been the home ground for the club since 1998]]

Bishan Stadium serves as the main home ground of Lion City Sailors with a seating capacity of 10,000. It was the home base for the club (initially known as Home United) from its inception all the way to 2020. Following the conclusion of the [[2020 Singapore Premier League]] season, the Bishan Stadium underwent returfing, causing the club to seek a temporary move to [[Jalan Besar Stadium]]. Lion City Sailors headed back to Bishan Stadium for the [[2023 Singapore Premier League]] season, fitted with the [[Video Assistant Referee]] (VAR) technology. However, the Sailors host their [[2023–24 AFC Champions League]] home matches at the Jalan Besar Stadium, as it matched the specific requirements of the tournament.

As Lion City Sailors become the flag bearer of Singaporean football to progress all the way until the [[2025 AFC Champions League Two final]], the club was given the honour to host the final of the [[Asian Football Confederation]] (AFC) tournament in which the [[National Stadium, Singapore|Singapore National Stadium]] was unavailable. [[Sharjah FC|Sharjah]] voiced their disapproval to play at Jalan Besar Stadium. AFC granted a provisional approval for Lion City Sailors to host the final at Bishan Stadium.
