The first Singapore Premier League (SPL) champions will receive $150,000 in prize money, which is $100,000 less than what Japanese club Albirex Niigata collected for winning the S-League title last year.
Prize money for the runners-up ($80,000) and third-($40,000) and fourth-placed ($20,000) teams will also be reduced, while the bottom five in the nine-team competition will end the season empty-handed.
