The aim of this project is to ensure all veteran footballers that have ever played for our Brunei National Team are accounted for with the hope that this would spur some spark, support, inculcate, interest, passion and patriotism amongst our younger generations to follow their footsteps and compete regularly at highest regional and international level. If you have such great passion/ patriotism for our national football team in Brunei or know of any such footballers representing Brunei, you are most welcome to join this project.

1. Football in Brunei
The sport of football in the country of Brunei is run by the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam.[1][2][3] The association administers the national team as well as the Brunei Super League.
Football clubs must adhere to AFC's Club Development Licensing System in order to participate in the top two leagues (DST Super League, DST Premier League) as well as cup competitions.[4]
FIFA Goal Project
In 2005, the Association had their first goal project approved; the construction of the association headquarters in Bandar Seri Begawan. The total cost was approximately 1.5 million USD.[5] A second goal project was approved in 2013, which was the installation of an artificial turf pitch and a natural pitch at the headquarters.[6] The total cost was about 185,000 USD.[7][8][9]
FIFA Forward Project
In 2020, the football association applied to FIFA for the construction of a Technical Centre and Mini Grandstand which was approved in April 2021. The construction started in June and is expected to finish at the end of the year.[10]

This article is about the Brunei team that entered the Malaysian football competitions. For the Brunei national football team, see Brunei national football team.
The Brunei Football Association used to enter a team in Malaysian football competitions. The team won the Malaysia Cup in 1999. The team played at the 35,000-seat Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Bandar Seri Begawan.
History
Brunei first entered the Malaysian football league competitions in 1979.[1] When the Liga Semi-Pro was introduced in Malaysia in 1989, Brunei also were invited along with Singapore, the other foreign team in Malaysian competition. Historically Brunei were the lower ranked team in Malaysian competition, often finishing at the lower rung of the league table and knocked out in the early stages of Malaysia Cup. However, their highest achievement in Malaysian competition was winning the Malaysia Cup in 1999, the first time they had won the competition. Brunei's final season in the Malaysian competition was in 2005 Liga Premier. Starting from 2006 until 2008, the only professional club in Brunei, DPMM FC replaced them as Brunei's representation in Malaysian competitions.

Jump to navigationJump to search
Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Football Club (His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Brunei Football Club in English, commonly known as DPMM FC) is a professional football club based in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. The club played in the Brunei Premier League in the early 2000s, winning the league title in 2002 and 2004.
The club then decided to play in Malaysia, and joined the Malaysian Premier League as a foreign-based team in for the 2005–06 season. They won promotion to the Malaysian Super League (the top tier of Malaysian football) at the end of their first season in Malaysian football, and then finished 3rd and 10th in the following two season in the Super League. The club then left the Malaysian league and joined Singapore's S.League for the 2009 season. They won the Singapore League Cup, but were forced to withdraw from the league competition five games before the end of the season after FIFA suspended the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam for government interference in its affairs, thus barring teams from Brunei from taking part in overseas competitions. All the club's league results for 2009 were therefore expunged. At the end of the suspension, they re-entered the S.League and won the title in 2015, just after a near-miss in 2014.
DPMM FC is owned by the Crown Prince of Brunei, Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah (Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah), who previously played as a goalkeeper for the team, and is coached by Adrian Pennock since 2019.[1]
History
Beginnings in Brunei
DPMM FC started out as a college team in 1994, before being officially established as a commercial club in 2000. After being the most successful team in college-level football in Brunei, most of the team's talented players joined DPMM FC when it became a commercial team and the club became stronger and more established.
The club enjoyed considerable success in Brunei's domestic competitions in the early-2000s, winning the Brunei Premier League in 2002 and 2004, the Brunei FA Cup in 2004, and the Brunei Super Cup in 2002 and 2004.
Joining Malaysian league
In 2005, DPMM FC stopped playing in Brunei's domestic league and joined the Malaysia Premier League (the second tier of Malaysian football) as a foreign-based team, replacing the Brunei representative team. The club was then promoted to the top tier of Malaysian football, Malaysian Super League, where they finished in 3rd place in their first season (2006–07). In the following season (2007–08), they finished in 10th place. They then had to leave the Malaysia Super League due to the deregisteration of the Brunei Football Association by the Registrar of Societies.[2]
Since 2004, DPMM FC had also competed annually in the Singapore Cup (a knock-out tournament which the Football Association of Singapore invites a number of teams from other countries to take part in alongside Singaporean clubs).
S.League, and suspension
After leaving the Malaysia Super League, DPMM FC joined Singapore's S.League for the 2009 season, becoming the first team in the league to play their home matches outside Singapore. The club quickly made an impact on the Singapore football scene by winning the Singapore League Cup in June 2009. They defeated the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club in the final on penalties after the match had ended in a 1–1 draw. However, on 30 September that year, FIFA suspended the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam for government interference in its affairs. This meant that teams from Brunei were no longer allowed to compete in tournaments run by other national member associations. The Football Association of Singapore appealed to FIFA to allow DPMM FC to finish the S.League season, but the appeal was rejected. The results of all DPMM's league matches for 2009 were therefore expunged.
Lifting of suspension, and success in Singapore
After 20 months of being suspended, FIFA has decided to lift the suspension off Brunei Darussalam. This means that the national team as well as the football teams from Brunei Darussalam are allowed to join any football competitions under FIFA. DPMM re-entered the S.League in 2012, and became dominant after the arrival of former English Premier League manager Steve Kean in 2014. They won their first S.League title in 2015, a year after losing ground in the final fixture of the 2014 season.[3]
Intention to pull out of the S.League
Since the 2016 season, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has been reducing the number of imports allowed per S.League team. This has affected the Bruneian-based outfit greatly, with a lesser pool of local players against Singapore's (or Japan's in the case of Albirex Niigata (S)).[4]
Towards the conclusion of the 2017 S.League in November, DPMM FC announced their intention on their website to possibly move to the Malaysian league, which they last appeared in 2008. This intention was later "dashed" by the FAM and in particular by Football Malaysia LLP, which stipulated that DPMM FC have to play their home games in Malaysia and to have a squad full of Malaysians with Bruneians regarded as import players. DPMM called these rulings "unprofessional" and "insane".[5]
In late December, DPMM stated their intentions to join the Indonesian league for 2018 instead.[6] This was made after a meeting between S.League clubs whereby new rules were set to restrict foreign imports to two, and the implementation of a youth-focused roster. However the move would be "technically impossible" to happen according to PSSI's secretary general a few days after the announcement was made.[7]
Further talks with FAS made at the turn of the year resulted in a compromise that was reached on 10 January 2018, where the S.League competition organisers would allow them to sign up to 3 foreign players instead of 2 with no age restrictions and DPMM will also not be subject to the same age restrictions as the local S.League clubs. Each local S.League team, apart from the Young Lions, will be required to have at least six under-23 players and eight under-30 players in the squad, with the remaining players to be of any age.[8]
Although they participated in the 2018 Singapore Premier League, finishing in third place below champions Albirex and Home United, DPMM is still considering to join another league. Reports by Singapore press in October 2018 revealed that DPMM have submitted official enquiry to join Thai League 1 for the 2019 season.[9] The club would later announce that they would be competing in the 2019 Singapore Premier League,[10] but afterwards expressed an interest to join Indonesia's Liga 1 in 2020.[11]
On 15 September 2019, DPMM were confirmed to be champions of the 2019 Singapore Premier League after their closest rivals Hougang United only managed to play a 4–4 draw with Geylang International, leaving the Bruneian club with an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the table.[12] They also reached the semi-finals of the Singapore Cup before being eliminated by via penalty shootout to Warriors FC on 30 October.[13]
In 2020, DPMM participated in the Singapore Premier League but could only play one game before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the league to be suspended until October.[14] The team was unable to fulfill the remaining fixtures due to travel restrictions between Brunei and Singapore, resulting in the inevitable exclusion from the year's SPL season.[15]
DPMM once again withdrew from the 2021 Singapore Premier League due to the ongoing travel restrictions imposed by the Brunei government, but not before showing intent to participate in the league.[16]
Return to Brunei
In 2019, DPMM sent a youth team to play in the 2018–19 Brunei Premier League, with three first teamers namely Azim Izamuddin Suhaimi, Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman and Azwan Ali Rahman also registered with the team.[17] They finished in first place at the end of the season, winning promotion to the 2020 Brunei Super League.[18] The 'B' team which began to boast import players like Shuhei Sasahara only completed two games before the season was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19]
Due to the first team's withdrawal from the Singapore Premier League for the 2021 season, head coach Pennock announced that his team will be lacing up for the upcoming 2021 Brunei Super League which is slated to begin in June.[20]

4. Brunei national football team
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to navigationJump to search
This article is about the Brunei men's national football team. For the Brunei team that entered the Malaysian football competitions, see Brunei (Malaysia Premier League team). For the women's team, see Brunei women's national football team.
The Brunei national football team (Malay: Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Brunei; recognized as Brunei Darussalam by FIFA[4]), nicknamed Tebuan (The Wasps), is the national team of Brunei, controlled by the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam. The team was founded in 1959 and joined FIFA in 1969. In the past, they have also frequently featured in the Malaysian league and cup competitions as one of the state representative sides.
History
The Brunei State Football Amateur Association was formed on 15 March 1956. In 1993, the word "Amateur" was dropped, and they were known as the Brunei Football Association. Brunei's experience of international football has been more or less restricted to regional Asian competitions, such as the Southeast Asian Games and the Tiger Cup. So far, Brunei has entered the World Cup qualifiers only four times, in 1986, 2002, 2018 and 2022. On these occasions, they did not qualify for the competition. They have made five appearances in the Asian Cup qualifiers, but they have never passed the first qualification round.
Their best achievement was the Malaysia Cup in 1999. Back then, Brunei entered a team to compete in the professional Malaysian league and despite competing against Malaysian clubs, Brunei had previously never made an impact. However, in 1999, they shocked everyone by lifting the Malaysia Cup.
Today there are approximately 2,500 footballers playing with Brunei's registered clubs. Footballers are mostly amateurs or semi professionals.
Suspension
In September 2009, the Brunei Football Association (BAFA) was suspended due to governmental interference in its affairs, which started with a decision by the Brunei authorities to dissolve BAFA and to replace it with a new federation in December 2008.[5] The suspension was applied with immediate effect and meant that the Brunei club DPMM were no longer permitted to play in the Singapore S-League until it was resolved.
On 19 March 2010, the FIFA Executive Committee agreed to submit to the next FIFA Congress the expulsion of the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (BAFA) if the BAFA has not been reinstated by then, after noting that no major progress had been made since the BAFA was suspended in September 2009.
FIFA warned that unless BAFA came to FIFA's Congress on 9 June and 10 in South Africa having met the conditions for reinstatement it would be expelled. [6] Brunei were re-instated on 31 May 2011.[7]

5. Borneo Cup
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Borneo Cup (Malay: Piala Borneo) is a football tournament held in East Malaysia and Brunei. The tournament was played in Borneo since the 1950s, perhaps earlier. Before the establishment of Malaysia on 16 September 1963, the tournament was contested by three national teams, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei.[1][2] After North Borneo and Sarawak formed Malaysia together with Malaya and Singapore, it competed as states of Malaysia.
In 1977, the tournament champions Sabah qualify for the Malaysia Cup. The following year, the tournament served as the Malaysia Cup east zone qualifying round.[2] In the 2010s, there is an effort to revive the Cup by the Sabah Football Association (SAFA), but with the absence of sponsors and the tight schedule of the Brunei team in the S.League became a major barrier to the efforts.[3]
History
The Borneo Football Championship was first played by British Crown colony officials who took over the management of British North Borneo from the North Borneo Chartered Company in 1946 after the Second World War.[3] It was then officially called the Borneo Cup in 1962. The oldest football club in Borneo, Kuching Wanderers FC (now known as the Kuching Football Association) can be said to be the pioneer of this tournament in the era of British rule. Sabah, which is known as North Borneo at that time became the inaugural champion in 1962. The Sabah team then won another 12 titles from 23 Borneo Cup editions until 1988.[3] Sarawak won six times while Brunei won only four times. Sabah who became the Borneo Cup champion in 1977 was the first team from Borneo Island to compete in the Malaysia Cup. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) also invited Sarawak and Brunei to compete in the Burnley Cup (which is now known as the President's Cup). In 1989, the Borneo Cup was abolished after the failure of the team to conclude an agreement with FAM to join the Semi-Pro League. Brunei became the last edition champion in 1988.[3]

6. Borneo Cup
The Borneo Cup was contested by the representative teams of Brunei, Sabah (formerly British North Borneo), and Sarawak. The competition was first held in 1960 and it was played annually until 1987, although competition was suspended from 1973-76.
From July 1946 until August 1963, both British North Borneo and Sarawak had the status of British crown colonies. After a very brief period of independence, they united with Malaya and Singapore in September 1963 to form the Federation of Malaysia, although Singapore left this federation in August 1965. From 1905, Brunei held the status of a British protected state until it gained full independence in January 1984.
The Indonesian part of Borneo (Kalimantan) was not involved in the competition. Initially this was for political reasons, but in later years (particularly upon the competition's revival in 1977) attempts were made to integrate an Indonesian team. Kalimantan was invited for the 1985 and 1986 editions, although the latter was cancelled. Ultimately, no Indonesian team participated in the competition until after it was replaced with an event for clubs, post-1987.
The original Borneo Cup trophy (1960-69) was provided by the Borneo Company; they also provided a second trophy (1970-72). The competition was revived in 1977 with a new trophy provided by His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei. Initially the competition was called the "British Borneo Inter-Territorial Football Competition," while the name "Borneo Cup" was reserved for the trophy itself.
The Borneo Cup was an important fixture in the local sporting calendar, particularly in the period before Bornean teams secured regular inclusion in competitions organised by the Football Association of Malaysia. The 1970-72 editions of the Borneo Cup served as qualifying zones for the 1971-73 editions of the F.A.M. Cup, but from 1974 onwards the F.A.M. Cup ceased to be a representative inter-state tournament and was instead contested by clubs and district teams.
The revived Borneo Cup in 1977 served as a qualifying zone for the 1978 Malaysia Cup, the most prestigious competition in Malaysia. This was the peak of the Borneo Cup's importance. From 1979 onwards, all three of Brunei, Sabah, and Sarawak were finally integrated fully into the Malaysia Cup, playing home and away games against the peninsular states and Singapore. Subsequently, the importance of the Borneo Cup gradually diminished as the Borneo teams met each other within the Malaysia Cup context. Sarawak sent a youth team in 1985, and the 1986 edition was cancelled. After the last edition was held in 1987, it was replaced with an inter-club competition.
The Borneo Cup was first established in 1960 due to the efforts of Mr Archie McCorkindale, the first President of the Sarawak Amateur F.A. (founded 1958), although there had already been contact between the football authorities in Sarawak, Brunei, and British North Borneo. Officially, the North Borneo Amateur F.A. was not formed until 1961, and indeed the representative in the 1960 Borneo Cup was described as the "North Borneo Invitational Team," organized by the Jesselton F.A. and including several leading players from Labuan, Sandakan, and Tawau.
The Brunei State Amateur F.A. was formed in 1952, based at Kuala Belait; initially it did not incorporate teams from Brunei Town (which had its own Brunei Town Amateur F.A.), but it did incorporate teams from Miri, just across the border in Northern Sarawak. Brunei did not participate in the first Borneo Cup, reportedly failing to reply to invitation letters sent by the Sarawak A.F.A. From Brunei's perspective, there was an issue about affiliated status: the Brunei State A.F.A. was already affiliated to the (English) F.A. in London, and consequently it stated that it could only participate if Sarawak's association became affiliated too.
The affiliation tables were turned in 1969, when the competition was briefly in jeopardy after the F.A. of Malaysia told Sabah and Sarawak that they should not participate because Brunei was not affiliated to F.I.F.A. nor the Asian Football Confederation. Brunei applied hurriedly for this affiliation and was approved provisionally in time for the F.A. of Malaysia to grant permission for the 1969 Borneo Cup to go ahead after all.
Despite their initial reluctance to participate in 1960, Brunei had previously played representative matches (listed below) against the Kuching District A.F.A. and the Sandakan Sports Association. Bruneian teams also played annually against opponents from Labuan (North Borneo) in the Labuan Centenary Cup, and Miri (Sarawak) in the Shaw Shield. Prior to the first Borneo Cup there had been some inter-territorial matches between teams of postal and telecommunications workers (Sarawak P&T beat North Borneo P&T in the William Tan Challenge Cup in 1959 and 1960), and teams of policemen, but no fully representative inter-territorial matches had taken place.
25-Oct-1959 Sandakan (N.Borneo) 2-0 Belait District (Brunei) [at Sandakan (town padang)]
23-Jan-1960 Brunei 3-1 Kuching (Sarawak) [at Seria (Shell Recreation Club)]
5-Feb-1961 Kuching (Sarawak) 3-2 Brunei [at Kuching (Jubilee Ground)]
The 1959 match was reported as "the first ever inter-territorial test of strength played in any
of the three territories."
The 1960 match was reported as "the first encounter between two representative elevens from the
neighbouring territories."
The first three editions of the Borneo Cup were run on a home/away basis. Matches were initially 70 minutes in duration, increasing to 80 minutes in 1963. The first competition began at Kuching in October 1960, Sarawak beating British North Borneo 7-1 in a match in which the losers scored three own goals. Despite this inauspicious start, North Borneo (renamed Sabah in September 1963) ultimately became the most successful team in the competition's history.
Brunei was absent in 1960 (as discussed above), and communication problems affected Brunei in the 1961 edition and they effectively had to forfeit the final against Sarawak. In 1962 Brunei felt unfairly treated in an away match at Jesselton, and did not participate in the next three editions. Subsequently, a centralized format was adopted and the competition was played over a weekend at a single location. Brunei came back for the 1966 edition, and made up for lost time in the first match vs Sabah by taking a 5-0 lead at half-time; however, Sabah staged one of the great comebacks in the second half to win 6-5.
From September 1963 onwards, Sabah and Sarawak were part of Malaysia and so their players were eligible to play for Malaysian national teams. The first footballer from Borneo to represent Malaysia was Wan Idrus of Sarawak, who was selected for the Malaysian youth team in the 9th Asian Youth Championship held at Bangkok in April 1967. In December 1963, Sabah's goalkeeper Khoo Eng Huat had been considered for the Malaysian youth team but was found to be over the age limit.
The first Borneo player to win a senior cap for Malaysia was James Wong of Sabah, who was first selected for the Jakarta Anniversary Tournament in June 1972. James Wong scored on his debut for Malaysia on 7-Jun-1972 in a 3-0 win vs Sri Lanka. He later scored one of the most famous goals in the history of the Malaysian national team, the winning goal against South Korea on 6-Apr-1980, which qualified Malaysia for the 1980 Olympic Games, although the team did not participate due to the mass boycott following the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Wong's goal was scored after a cross by Hassan Sani, Sabah's other star player of that era. This match was fictionalized in the 2016 film "Ola Bola."
In October-November 1972, Tony Anak Manggie became the first player from Sarawak to be selected for the Malaysian senior national team when he participated in the South Vietnam National Day tournament. In the late 1970s James Yaakub and Morshidi Awet from Sarawak also played for Malaysia.

demanded a neutral ground and a neutral referee for any replay. North Borneo claimed that Brunei's refusal
constituted a concession, and claimed a walkover; the Sarawak Amateur F.A. agreed.

Sabah agreed to refer the decision to the FA of Malaysia for adjudication. The FAM ruled
that Sarawak should retain the cup. Despite this, some newspapers continued to refer to Sabah
as the 1966 winner.

Hall of Fame
Unfortunately, I am not old enough to recall the football in the 1960s and 1970s as evident with our nation's participation in the Borneo Cup (please refer below), but I can recall going to our national stadium in Berakas to watch matches during the 1980s and 1990s (which was free entry).
Hence to date, the veterans to be added in our list such as Pengiran Tajuddin (defender), Awangku Zamani (striker), Majidi Ghani (striker), Rosanan Samak (striker), Rosli Liman (midfielder). Said Abdullah (striker)
[this list to be updated from time to time or please do share if you have any recollection of veterans since 1990s and before]

Football in Brunei
The sport of football in the country of Brunei is run by the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam.[1][2][3] The association administers the national team as well as the Brunei Super League.
Football clubs must adhere to AFC's Club Development Licensing System in order to participate in the top two leagues (DST Super League, DST Premier League) as well as cup competitions.[4]
FIFA Goal Project
In 2005, the Association had their first goal project approved; the construction of the association headquarters in Bandar Seri Begawan. The total cost was approximately 1.5 million USD.[5] A second goal project was approved in 2013, which was the installation of an artificial turf pitch and a natural pitch at the headquarters.[6] The total cost was about 185,000 USD.[7][8][9]
FIFA Forward Project
In 2020, the football association applied to FIFA for the construction of a Technical Centre and Mini Grandstand which was approved in April 2021. The construction started in June and is expected to finish at the end of the year.[10]

This article is about the Brunei team that entered the Malaysian football competitions. For the Brunei national football team, see Brunei national football team.
The Brunei Football Association used to enter a team in Malaysian football competitions. The team won the Malaysia Cup in 1999. The team played at the 35,000-seat Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in Bandar Seri Begawan.
History
Brunei first entered the Malaysian football league competitions in 1979.[1] When the Liga Semi-Pro was introduced in Malaysia in 1989, Brunei also were invited along with Singapore, the other foreign team in Malaysian competition. Historically Brunei were the lower ranked team in Malaysian competition, often finishing at the lower rung of the league table and knocked out in the early stages of Malaysia Cup. However, their highest achievement in Malaysian competition was winning the Malaysia Cup in 1999, the first time they had won the competition. Brunei's final season in the Malaysian competition was in 2005 Liga Premier. Starting from 2006 until 2008, the only professional club in Brunei, DPMM FC replaced them as Brunei's representation in Malaysian competitions.

(Redirected from DPMM FC (Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota FC))
Jump to navigationJump to search
Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Football Club (His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Brunei Football Club in English, commonly known as DPMM FC) is a professional football club based in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. The club played in the Brunei Premier League in the early 2000s, winning the league title in 2002 and 2004.
The club then decided to play in Malaysia, and joined the Malaysian Premier League as a foreign-based team in for the 2005–06 season. They won promotion to the Malaysian Super League (the top tier of Malaysian football) at the end of their first season in Malaysian football, and then finished 3rd and 10th in the following two season in the Super League. The club then left the Malaysian league and joined Singapore's S.League for the 2009 season. They won the Singapore League Cup, but were forced to withdraw from the league competition five games before the end of the season after FIFA suspended the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam for government interference in its affairs, thus barring teams from Brunei from taking part in overseas competitions. All the club's league results for 2009 were therefore expunged. At the end of the suspension, they re-entered the S.League and won the title in 2015, just after a near-miss in 2014.
DPMM FC is owned by the Crown Prince of Brunei, Prince Al-Muhtadee Billah (Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Pengiran Muda Haji Al-Muhtadee Billah), who previously played as a goalkeeper for the team, and is coached by Adrian Pennock since 2019.[1]
History
Beginnings in Brunei
DPMM FC started out as a college team in 1994, before being officially established as a commercial club in 2000. After being the most successful team in college-level football in Brunei, most of the team's talented players joined DPMM FC when it became a commercial team and the club became stronger and more established.
The club enjoyed considerable success in Brunei's domestic competitions in the early-2000s, winning the Brunei Premier League in 2002 and 2004, the Brunei FA Cup in 2004, and the Brunei Super Cup in 2002 and 2004.
Joining Malaysian league
In 2005, DPMM FC stopped playing in Brunei's domestic league and joined the Malaysia Premier League (the second tier of Malaysian football) as a foreign-based team, replacing the Brunei representative team. The club was then promoted to the top tier of Malaysian football, Malaysian Super League, where they finished in 3rd place in their first season (2006–07). In the following season (2007–08), they finished in 10th place. They then had to leave the Malaysia Super League due to the deregisteration of the Brunei Football Association by the Registrar of Societies.[2]
Since 2004, DPMM FC had also competed annually in the Singapore Cup (a knock-out tournament which the Football Association of Singapore invites a number of teams from other countries to take part in alongside Singaporean clubs).
S.League, and suspension
After leaving the Malaysia Super League, DPMM FC joined Singapore's S.League for the 2009 season, becoming the first team in the league to play their home matches outside Singapore. The club quickly made an impact on the Singapore football scene by winning the Singapore League Cup in June 2009. They defeated the Singapore Armed Forces Football Club in the final on penalties after the match had ended in a 1–1 draw. However, on 30 September that year, FIFA suspended the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam for government interference in its affairs. This meant that teams from Brunei were no longer allowed to compete in tournaments run by other national member associations. The Football Association of Singapore appealed to FIFA to allow DPMM FC to finish the S.League season, but the appeal was rejected. The results of all DPMM's league matches for 2009 were therefore expunged.
Lifting of suspension, and success in Singapore
After 20 months of being suspended, FIFA has decided to lift the suspension off Brunei Darussalam. This means that the national team as well as the football teams from Brunei Darussalam are allowed to join any football competitions under FIFA. DPMM re-entered the S.League in 2012, and became dominant after the arrival of former English Premier League manager Steve Kean in 2014. They won their first S.League title in 2015, a year after losing ground in the final fixture of the 2014 season.[3]
Intention to pull out of the S.League
Since the 2016 season, the Football Association of Singapore (FAS) has been reducing the number of imports allowed per S.League team. This has affected the Bruneian-based outfit greatly, with a lesser pool of local players against Singapore's (or Japan's in the case of Albirex Niigata (S)).[4]
Towards the conclusion of the 2017 S.League in November, DPMM FC announced their intention on their website to possibly move to the Malaysian league, which they last appeared in 2008. This intention was later "dashed" by the FAM and in particular by Football Malaysia LLP, which stipulated that DPMM FC have to play their home games in Malaysia and to have a squad full of Malaysians with Bruneians regarded as import players. DPMM called these rulings "unprofessional" and "insane".[5]
In late December, DPMM stated their intentions to join the Indonesian league for 2018 instead.[6] This was made after a meeting between S.League clubs whereby new rules were set to restrict foreign imports to two, and the implementation of a youth-focused roster. However the move would be "technically impossible" to happen according to PSSI's secretary general a few days after the announcement was made.[7]
Further talks with FAS made at the turn of the year resulted in a compromise that was reached on 10 January 2018, where the S.League competition organisers would allow them to sign up to 3 foreign players instead of 2 with no age restrictions and DPMM will also not be subject to the same age restrictions as the local S.League clubs. Each local S.League team, apart from the Young Lions, will be required to have at least six under-23 players and eight under-30 players in the squad, with the remaining players to be of any age.[8]
Although they participated in the 2018 Singapore Premier League, finishing in third place below champions Albirex and Home United, DPMM is still considering to join another league. Reports by Singapore press in October 2018 revealed that DPMM have submitted official enquiry to join Thai League 1 for the 2019 season.[9] The club would later announce that they would be competing in the 2019 Singapore Premier League,[10] but afterwards expressed an interest to join Indonesia's Liga 1 in 2020.[11]
On 15 September 2019, DPMM were confirmed to be champions of the 2019 Singapore Premier League after their closest rivals Hougang United only managed to play a 4–4 draw with Geylang International, leaving the Bruneian club with an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the table.[12] They also reached the semi-finals of the Singapore Cup before being eliminated by via penalty shootout to Warriors FC on 30 October.[13]
In 2020, DPMM participated in the Singapore Premier League but could only play one game before the COVID-19 pandemic forced the league to be suspended until October.[14] The team was unable to fulfill the remaining fixtures due to travel restrictions between Brunei and Singapore, resulting in the inevitable exclusion from the year's SPL season.[15]
DPMM once again withdrew from the 2021 Singapore Premier League due to the ongoing travel restrictions imposed by the Brunei government, but not before showing intent to participate in the league.[16]
Return to Brunei
In 2019, DPMM sent a youth team to play in the 2018–19 Brunei Premier League, with three first teamers namely Azim Izamuddin Suhaimi, Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman and Azwan Ali Rahman also registered with the team.[17] They finished in first place at the end of the season, winning promotion to the 2020 Brunei Super League.[18] The 'B' team which began to boast import players like Shuhei Sasahara only completed two games before the season was eventually cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[19]
Due to the first team's withdrawal from the Singapore Premier League for the 2021 season, head coach Pennock announced that his team will be lacing up for the upcoming 2021 Brunei Super League which is slated to begin in June.[20]

This article is about the Brunei men's national football team. For the Brunei team that entered the Malaysian football competitions, see Brunei (Malaysia Premier League team). For the women's team, see Brunei women's national football team.
The Brunei national football team (Malay: Pasukan bola sepak kebangsaan Brunei; recognized as Brunei Darussalam by FIFA[4]), nicknamed Tebuan (The Wasps), is the national team of Brunei, controlled by the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam. The team was founded in 1959 and joined FIFA in 1969. In the past, they have also frequently featured in the Malaysian league and cup competitions as one of the state representative sides.
History
The Brunei State Football Amateur Association was formed on 15 March 1956. In 1993, the word "Amateur" was dropped, and they were known as the Brunei Football Association. Brunei's experience of international football has been more or less restricted to regional Asian competitions, such as the Southeast Asian Games and the Tiger Cup. So far, Brunei has entered the World Cup qualifiers only four times, in 1986, 2002, 2018 and 2022. On these occasions, they did not qualify for the competition. They have made five appearances in the Asian Cup qualifiers, but they have never passed the first qualification round.
Their best achievement was the Malaysia Cup in 1999. Back then, Brunei entered a team to compete in the professional Malaysian league and despite competing against Malaysian clubs, Brunei had previously never made an impact. However, in 1999, they shocked everyone by lifting the Malaysia Cup.
Today there are approximately 2,500 footballers playing with Brunei's registered clubs. Footballers are mostly amateurs or semi professionals.
Suspension
In September 2009, the Brunei Football Association (BAFA) was suspended due to governmental interference in its affairs, which started with a decision by the Brunei authorities to dissolve BAFA and to replace it with a new federation in December 2008.[5] The suspension was applied with immediate effect and meant that the Brunei club DPMM were no longer permitted to play in the Singapore S-League until it was resolved.
On 19 March 2010, the FIFA Executive Committee agreed to submit to the next FIFA Congress the expulsion of the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (BAFA) if the BAFA has not been reinstated by then, after noting that no major progress had been made since the BAFA was suspended in September 2009.
FIFA warned that unless BAFA came to FIFA's Congress on 9 June and 10 in South Africa having met the conditions for reinstatement it would be expelled. [6] Brunei were re-instated on 31 May 2011.[7]

Borneo Cup (Malay: Piala Borneo) is a football tournament held in East Malaysia and Brunei. The tournament was played in Borneo since the 1950s, perhaps earlier. Before the establishment of Malaysia on 16 September 1963, the tournament was contested by three national teams, North Borneo, Sarawak and Brunei.[1][2] After North Borneo and Sarawak formed Malaysia together with Malaya and Singapore, it competed as states of Malaysia.
In 1977, the tournament champions Sabah qualify for the Malaysia Cup. The following year, the tournament served as the Malaysia Cup east zone qualifying round.[2] In the 2010s, there is an effort to revive the Cup by the Sabah Football Association (SAFA), but with the absence of sponsors and the tight schedule of the Brunei team in the S.League became a major barrier to the efforts.[3]
History
The Borneo Football Championship was first played by British Crown colony officials who took over the management of British North Borneo from the North Borneo Chartered Company in 1946 after the Second World War.[3] It was then officially called the Borneo Cup in 1962. The oldest football club in Borneo, Kuching Wanderers FC (now known as the Kuching Football Association) can be said to be the pioneer of this tournament in the era of British rule. Sabah, which is known as North Borneo at that time became the inaugural champion in 1962. The Sabah team then won another 12 titles from 23 Borneo Cup editions until 1988.[3] Sarawak won six times while Brunei won only four times. Sabah who became the Borneo Cup champion in 1977 was the first team from Borneo Island to compete in the Malaysia Cup. The Football Association of Malaysia (FAM) also invited Sarawak and Brunei to compete in the Burnley Cup (which is now known as the President's Cup). In 1989, the Borneo Cup was abolished after the failure of the team to conclude an agreement with FAM to join the Semi-Pro League. Brunei became the last edition champion in 1988.[3]

Borneo Cup
The Borneo Cup was contested by the representative teams of Brunei, Sabah (formerly British North Borneo), and Sarawak. The competition was first held in 1960 and it was played annually until 1987, although competition was suspended from 1973-76.
From July 1946 until August 1963, both British North Borneo and Sarawak had the status of British crown colonies. After a very brief period of independence, they united with Malaya and Singapore in September 1963 to form the Federation of Malaysia, although Singapore left this federation in August 1965. From 1905, Brunei held the status of a British protected state until it gained full independence in January 1984.
The Indonesian part of Borneo (Kalimantan) was not involved in the competition. Initially this was for political reasons, but in later years (particularly upon the competition's revival in 1977) attempts were made to integrate an Indonesian team. Kalimantan was invited for the 1985 and 1986 editions, although the latter was cancelled. Ultimately, no Indonesian team participated in the competition until after it was replaced with an event for clubs, post-1987.
The original Borneo Cup trophy (1960-69) was provided by the Borneo Company; they also provided a second trophy (1970-72). The competition was revived in 1977 with a new trophy provided by His Majesty Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah of Brunei. Initially the competition was called the "British Borneo Inter-Territorial Football Competition," while the name "Borneo Cup" was reserved for the trophy itself.
The Borneo Cup was an important fixture in the local sporting calendar, particularly in the period before Bornean teams secured regular inclusion in competitions organised by the Football Association of Malaysia. The 1970-72 editions of the Borneo Cup served as qualifying zones for the 1971-73 editions of the F.A.M. Cup, but from 1974 onwards the F.A.M. Cup ceased to be a representative inter-state tournament and was instead contested by clubs and district teams.
The revived Borneo Cup in 1977 served as a qualifying zone for the 1978 Malaysia Cup, the most prestigious competition in Malaysia. This was the peak of the Borneo Cup's importance. From 1979 onwards, all three of Brunei, Sabah, and Sarawak were finally integrated fully into the Malaysia Cup, playing home and away games against the peninsular states and Singapore. Subsequently, the importance of the Borneo Cup gradually diminished as the Borneo teams met each other within the Malaysia Cup context. Sarawak sent a youth team in 1985, and the 1986 edition was cancelled. After the last edition was held in 1987, it was replaced with an inter-club competition.
The Borneo Cup was first established in 1960 due to the efforts of Mr Archie McCorkindale, the first President of the Sarawak Amateur F.A. (founded 1958), although there had already been contact between the football authorities in Sarawak, Brunei, and British North Borneo. Officially, the North Borneo Amateur F.A. was not formed until 1961, and indeed the representative in the 1960 Borneo Cup was described as the "North Borneo Invitational Team," organized by the Jesselton F.A. and including several leading players from Labuan, Sandakan, and Tawau.
The Brunei State Amateur F.A. was formed in 1952, based at Kuala Belait; initially it did not incorporate teams from Brunei Town (which had its own Brunei Town Amateur F.A.), but it did incorporate teams from Miri, just across the border in Northern Sarawak. Brunei did not participate in the first Borneo Cup, reportedly failing to reply to invitation letters sent by the Sarawak A.F.A. From Brunei's perspective, there was an issue about affiliated status: the Brunei State A.F.A. was already affiliated to the (English) F.A. in London, and consequently it stated that it could only participate if Sarawak's association became affiliated too.
The affiliation tables were turned in 1969, when the competition was briefly in jeopardy after the F.A. of Malaysia told Sabah and Sarawak that they should not participate because Brunei was not affiliated to F.I.F.A. nor the Asian Football Confederation. Brunei applied hurriedly for this affiliation and was approved provisionally in time for the F.A. of Malaysia to grant permission for the 1969 Borneo Cup to go ahead after all.
Despite their initial reluctance to participate in 1960, Brunei had previously played representative matches (listed below) against the Kuching District A.F.A. and the Sandakan Sports Association. Bruneian teams also played annually against opponents from Labuan (North Borneo) in the Labuan Centenary Cup, and Miri (Sarawak) in the Shaw Shield. Prior to the first Borneo Cup there had been some inter-territorial matches between teams of postal and telecommunications workers (Sarawak P&T beat North Borneo P&T in the William Tan Challenge Cup in 1959 and 1960), and teams of policemen, but no fully representative inter-territorial matches had taken place.
25-Oct-1959 Sandakan (N.Borneo) 2-0 Belait District (Brunei) [at Sandakan (town padang)]
23-Jan-1960 Brunei 3-1 Kuching (Sarawak) [at Seria (Shell Recreation Club)]
5-Feb-1961 Kuching (Sarawak) 3-2 Brunei [at Kuching (Jubilee Ground)]
The 1959 match was reported as "the first ever inter-territorial test of strength played in any
of the three territories."
The 1960 match was reported as "the first encounter between two representative elevens from the
neighbouring territories."
The first three editions of the Borneo Cup were run on a home/away basis. Matches were initially 70 minutes in duration, increasing to 80 minutes in 1963. The first competition began at Kuching in October 1960, Sarawak beating British North Borneo 7-1 in a match in which the losers scored three own goals. Despite this inauspicious start, North Borneo (renamed Sabah in September 1963) ultimately became the most successful team in the competition's history.
Brunei was absent in 1960 (as discussed above), and communication problems affected Brunei in the 1961 edition and they effectively had to forfeit the final against Sarawak. In 1962 Brunei felt unfairly treated in an away match at Jesselton, and did not participate in the next three editions. Subsequently, a centralized format was adopted and the competition was played over a weekend at a single location. Brunei came back for the 1966 edition, and made up for lost time in the first match vs Sabah by taking a 5-0 lead at half-time; however, Sabah staged one of the great comebacks in the second half to win 6-5.
From September 1963 onwards, Sabah and Sarawak were part of Malaysia and so their players were eligible to play for Malaysian national teams. The first footballer from Borneo to represent Malaysia was Wan Idrus of Sarawak, who was selected for the Malaysian youth team in the 9th Asian Youth Championship held at Bangkok in April 1967. In December 1963, Sabah's goalkeeper Khoo Eng Huat had been considered for the Malaysian youth team but was found to be over the age limit.
The first Borneo player to win a senior cap for Malaysia was James Wong of Sabah, who was first selected for the Jakarta Anniversary Tournament in June 1972. James Wong scored on his debut for Malaysia on 7-Jun-1972 in a 3-0 win vs Sri Lanka. He later scored one of the most famous goals in the history of the Malaysian national team, the winning goal against South Korea on 6-Apr-1980, which qualified Malaysia for the 1980 Olympic Games, although the team did not participate due to the mass boycott following the Soviet Union's invasion of Afghanistan. Wong's goal was scored after a cross by Hassan Sani, Sabah's other star player of that era. This match was fictionalized in the 2016 film "Ola Bola."
In October-November 1972, Tony Anak Manggie became the first player from Sarawak to be selected for the Malaysian senior national team when he participated in the South Vietnam National Day tournament. In the late 1970s James Yaakub and Morshidi Awet from Sarawak also played for Malaysia.

constituted a concession, and claimed a walkover; the Sarawak Amateur F.A. agreed.

that Sarawak should retain the cup. Despite this, some newspapers continued to refer to Sabah
as the 1966 winner.

Piala Malaysia 1999: Brunei FA lawan Sarawak FA.
4hb Disember 1999, Stadium Merdeka.
Pada 4hb Disember 1999, satu perlawanan bersejarah telah dilangsungkan, menemukan dua wilayah berjiran: Sarawak dan Brunei dalam Perlawanan Akhir Piala Malaysia. Pada Peringkat Separuh Akhir, Brunei menewaskan Negeri Sembilan dengan agregat 4-3, manakala Sarawak mengalahkan Terengganu dengan agregat 3-1. Final ‘Borneo Derby’ ini mempunyai nilai sejarah tersendiri. Buat pertama kali dlm sejarah Piala Malaysia, dua pasukan Borneo bertarung dalam final dan buat pertama kali juga Piala Malaysia akan menyeberang Laut Cina Selatan.
Antara isu yang menyelubungi final tersebut ialah pemilihan gelanggang perlawanan akhir oleh Persatuan Bola Sepak Malaysia (FAM). FAM tetap bertegas memilih Stadium Merdeka atas alasan khuatir perlawanan tidak akan mendapat sambutan jika dianjurkan di Kepulauan Borneo. Hal ini mengundang rasa tidak puas hati dalam kalangan kem kedua-dua pasukan yang bakal berentap, meskipun akhirnya terpaksa juga akur terhadap keputusa FAM tersebut.
Sarawak dibimbing oleh pemain lagendanya, Jalil Rambli. Jalil bukan sahaja mencipta sejarah sebagai jurulatih pertama Sarawak FA yang membawa pasukan tersebut ke perlawanan akhir Piala Malaysia, malah menenggelamkan pencapaian Alan Vest dan Awang Mahyan selama ini yang pernah membawa Sarawak ke peringkat suku akhir sebanyak lima kali.
Kurang-lebih 30,000 orang penyokong setia Sarawak-Brunei memenuhi Stadium Merdeka pada malam tersebut. Tatkala Sarawak FA menampilkan beberapa pemain muda tempatan, Brunei dibarisi oleh dua pemain import dan kebanyakan pemain berpengalaman (berusia) seperti Rosli Liman (30); Said Abdullah (32); Nordin Tujoh (35); dan Liew Chuan Fue (38).
Pada minit ke-35, pemain import Brunei FA, Patron Akapo berjaya melepasi perangkap off-side Sarawak FA dan melakukan percubaan, tetapi Berjaya dihalang oleh penjaga gol Sarawak FA, Mazlan Wahid. Malangnya, bola tersebut Berjaya dirampas oleh Rosli Liman untuk gol pertama Tebuan. 5 minit selepas separuh masa kedua bermula, Ramles Sari menyalakan harapan buat skuad Ngap Sayot, apabila menyamakan kedudukan setelah menerima hantaran daripada Ibrahim Mantali dan menewaskan dua orang pertahanan Brunei FA. Bagaimanapun, Rosli Liman sekali lagi muncul sebagai wira Brunei FA, apabila menjaringkan gol kemenangan Tebuan pada minit ke-51, hasil hantaran Brian Iman Bothwell.
Tatkala ramai mata yang tertumpu kepada Brian Bothwell dan Akapo untuk menyerlah, Rosli Liman berjaya mengejutkan ramai dengan dua gol yang membawa kepada menyeberangnya trofi Piala Malaysia buat kali pertama ke Bandar Seri Begawan. Brunei menutup abad ke-20 dengan menjuarai Piala Malaysia untuk pertama kali di mana perlawanan akhir yang pertama melibatkan kedua-dua pasukan adalah dari Borneo. Kejayaan Brunei juga menyaksikan Stadium Merdeka digunakan untuk kali terakhir bagi gelanggan akhir Piala Malaysia.
