history
The Brunei Football Association was founded on March 15, 1956 and was then called the Brunei State Football Amateur Association. In 1993 the word amateur was removed from the official title, since then the association is called the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam ( Malay: Persekutuan Bolasepak Negara Brunei Darussalam).
The national team's previous international experience is limited to regional competitions such as B. the Southeast Asian Games or the ASEAN football championship . In 1986, Brunei took part in a qualification for a soccer world championship for the first time . The team took part in a qualification for the second time for the 2002 World Cup.
The national team played in the Malay League. In 1999 you could win the national cup.
Today there are around 2,500 active players in Brunei who play in the 22 clubs in Brunei.
Due to interference by the state, the association was suspended by FIFA on September 30, 2009. The suspension was lifted on May 30, 2011. Nevertheless, the suspension made the national team unable to qualify for the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. In qualifying for the 2018 World Cup in Russia , the team started with a 1-0 win in Taiwan with a goal from Adi Said .
