About National Deaf Games
The National Deaf Games are an annual event platform that provides Deaf community members with opportunities to compete in their favorite sports. This allows them to take part in activities that promote a healthy lifestyle.
The inaugural National Deaf Games were successfully organised in early March of 2015. A total of 143 Deaf people participated in all events. Mr Tharman Shanmugaratnam, Deputy Prime Minister and Minister for Finance, graced the Opening Ceremony of the 1st National Deaf Games at Jurong East Sports Centre. About 250 people attended the Futsal match at the opening event.
Objectives
