Singapore has officially announced its men’s and women’s national teams for the 2025 IBF World Championships, set to take place from November 24 to December 5 at Top Bowl inside Kai Tak Sports Park in Kowloon, Hong Kong.
The men’s team will feature
Basil Ng, Cheah Ray Han, Darren Ong, Jaris Goh,
Joel Tan, and Xavier Teo.
This year, Darren Ong made history at the World Series of Bowling XVI, becoming the first player from Singapore to win a PBA Tour title.
On the women’s side, Singapore will be represented by
Bernice Lim, Cherie Tan, Daphne Tan,
New Hui Fen, Ning Tay, and Shayna Ng.
New Hui Fen had a blast in the recent PWBA Tour season, winning three titles, including a major at the 2025 U.S. Women’s Open, where she climbed from the No. 5 seed to win all four stepladder matches, averaging over 256. Meanwhile, Shayna Ng also made a powerful return to the top of the podium, capturing her third PWBA career title — and first in six years — by winning the 2025 PWBA Go Bowling Topeka Open.
Both teams will represent Singapore in singles, doubles, trios, and team of five events throughout the 12-day championship.
The IBF World Championships will bring together top bowlers from around the world, with at least 28 federations in men's division and 23 federations in women's division are expected to delegate their athletes to compete. The opening ceremony will take place on November 24, followed by qualification and medal rounds through early December.
Other countries, including the United States, Sweden, and Finland, have already revealed their national teams ahead of the tournament.
