Sinchi Football Club ({{zh|s=新麒足球俱乐部}}) was a professional association football club from China based in Taman Jurong, Singapore which played as a foreign team in Singapore's S.League from 2003 to 2005. The club played its home games in Singapore at the Jurong Stadium. The team's best league finish was seventh-place in 2003. In December 2005, after three seasons, the club's management announced that they would not be participating in the S.League again in the 2006 season.

Jiang Tao death

On 10 March 2004, while in an evening training session at the Jurong Stadium, Jiang Tao was struck by lightning and collapsed. His teammates even tried to revive him but to no avail. The 18-year old was pronounced dead by medical personnel 10 minutes after the incident. As a tribute, all the S.League fixtures that week were started with one minute's silence beforehand and his family were given a solatium of 600,000 yuan by the Football Association of Singapore. The Singapore government also launched a fundraiser to support Jiang's parents and all the money generated from Sinchi FC's game tickets that week were given to them.

The former player's body was cremated on 15 March 2004
