The Stags spent the 1950s and 1960s competing in the Singapore Amateur Football Association League, where they were among the top teams, until they were placed in Division II of the newly formed National Football League in 1974.
1975 was a watershed year for Tampines, as they were promoted to Division I after winning all their league matches and reached the President's Cup final, where they lost 0–1 to theSingapore Armed Forces Sports Association in front of a national record crowd of 30,000. They continued to challenge for honours over the next decade, reaching another President's Cup final in 1978, then emerging as national champions in 1979, 1980, and 1984.
The Stags were relegated to the second tier in 1988, but won their league in 1994 under a new management team. They were one of eight clubs selected to compete in the newly formed S.League.[1]
However, Tampines did not finish higher than sixth place in the first six seasons of the S.League. In 2002, the Stags secured the services of Malaysian coach,Chow Kwai Lam,[2] who guided them to theSingapore Cup and two fourth-place finishes.[3]
The 2000s marked the golden era of Tampines Rovers under Thai head coachVorawan Chitavanich, during which the club amassed a squad filled with stalwarts likeNazri Nasir,Noh Alam Shah,Sead Muratović, andRezal Hassan.[4] Together, they clinched Tampines Rovers's firstS.League andSingapore Cup double in 2004.[4] The following season, they successfully defended their S.League title in 2005, were named the "S.League Team of the Decade" and became the first Singapore team to win the ASEAN Club Championship.[5] The Stags were the2006 Singapore Cup champions, but finished runners-up toSAFFC in theleague.[6][7]
In2011, Tampines Rovers appointedSteven Tan as head coach, replacing Chitavanich who was promoted to technical director. On the pitch, club stalwarts likeMustafić Fahrudin andAliff Shafaein, who were part of the 2004 and 2005 winning sides, were joined by the likes ofAleksandar Đurić,Benoît Croissant, andJamil Ali.
