It was discovered that the association is not only managed by a group of passionate volunteers but is also self-funded as they do not receive any additional funds from the authority, unlike the other national sports association.

‘Tchoukball 100 Days Fundraising Challenge’

Earlier in the year, the relatively unknown sport in Singapore became an overnight sensation when the Singapore women’s tchoukball team became world number one for the first time, climbing over Chinese Taipei in the International Tchoukball Federation’s world ranking. The move to the top spot was possible after their win against Chinese Taipei in the 9th Asia Pacific Tchoukball Championships in August last year.

“This morning, I received a call from an ex-national bowler and I managed to meet him along with another ex-national athlete from badminton this evening. To my surprise, they told me that they are initiating a crowdfunding campaign and rallying other fellow athletes and the public to support Tchoukball Singapore,” posted Delane Lim, TBAS president on his social media page.

In 2017, the Workers’ Party Pritam Singh had asked then Minister for Culture, Community and Youth Grace Fu on how does the ministry exercise oversight on the use of monies by official sporting bodies; what criteria does the Ministry use to determine fair use of such monies; and how does the Ministry prevent and rectify misallocation of such funds by official sporting bodies.
