The '''Singapore Community Shield''' (formerly the '''Charity Shield'''), officially known as the '''AIA Community Shield''' for sponsorship reasons, is an annual match in [[Football in Singapore|Singapore football]] contested between the champions of the previous [[Singapore Premier League]] season and the [[Singapore Cup]] winners. If the same team wins both the league and the Singapore Cup, the match is played against the Singapore Premier League runners-up. The fixture is recognised as a competitive [[super cup]] by [[the Football Association]] and [[Asian Football Confederation]].

== History == The Charity Shield was first contested in 2008. In the inaugural match, the [[Warriors FC|Singapore Armed Forces]] defeated [[Home United FC|Home United]] 5–4 on penalties following a 1–1 draw. The Shield also doubled up as the season's opening fixture in 2014 and remained so for all subsequent editions until 2018.<ref>{{cite web|title=Ten things to know about the Community Shield!|url=http://spl.sg/ten-things-about-community-shield|date=13 February 2019}}</ref>

[[Great Eastern Life|Great Eastern]] and [[Yeo Hiap Seng|Yeo's]] are the co-sponsors for the Community Shield from 2008 to 2016. Great Eastern was the sole sponsor when Yeo's withdrew its sponsorship in 2017.<ref>{{cite web|title=Great Eastern keeps faith in S.League with sponsorship extension|url=https://www.todayonline.com/sports/football/great-eastern-keeps-faith-sleague-sponsorship-extension|date=7 February 2017}}</ref>

On 23 February 2019, the [[Football Association of Singapore]] (FAS) announced that [[AIA Group|AIA Singapore]] as the new title sponsor of the Singapore Premier League and Community Shield as part of a two-year agreement.<ref>{{cite web|title=AIA partners FAS as new title sponsor of the Singapore Premier League|url=http://www.fas.org.sg/aia-partners-fas-as-new-title-sponsor-of-the-singapore-premier-league|date=23 February 2019}}</ref>
