BSL All Stars win over Brunei national team on penalties

 The Brunei Darussalam national football team lost on penalties to the Brunei Super League (BSL) All Stars during a friendly match at the Track and Field of the Hassanal Bolkiah National Sports Complex on Monday night.

BSL star Adi Said scored the decisive spot-kick to earn his side a 4-2 win after the match ended goalless in regulation time.

In a game with chances few and far between, BSL midfielder Shafie Haji Effenddy was left unmarked in the near post but could not trouble Brunei substitute Muhammad Jefri Syafiq Ishak.

With injury time fast approaching, a burst of pace from national star Hakeme Yazid Said enabled him to charge past his marker Md Khairul Anwar Abdul Rahim but a cross to his teammate did not result in a finish.

The national football team have been scheduled to take part in the FIFA Series: Saudi Arabia ‘B’ in Taif alongside Bermuda, Guinea and Vanuatu.

The Wasps will commence their campaign against Bermuda on March 22 followed by Vanuatu on March 26. – Fadhil Yunus

BRUNEI FOOTBAL AT RISK OF FIFA BAN

 






The Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (FABD) is at risk of being suspended by FIFA, the football world governing body and Asian Football Confederation (AFC).

⛔️ This is following the suspension of its President Pengiran Haji Matusin bin Pengiran Haji Matasan from his duties and the sacking of FABD general secretary Mohammad Shahnon bin Mohd Salleh on Wednesday which may deemed as interference.

In a press conference yesterday at FABD house, Pengiran Haji Matusin said, “The Registrar of Societies (RoS) has taken action that has caused myself and the Secretary General to not be involved in any affairs of football in the country.”

He shared the letter sent to the FABD by the FIFA and AFC in a joint communique.

✉️"In light of the seriousness of this matter and due to the impact of the electoral process, FIFA and AFC are of the opinion that the FABD elective congress to take place on November 18, 2023 should immediately be postponed until further notice.

FIFA request FABD to communicate this letter to the authority requesting that they provide FIFA and AFC before November 21, 2023 with valid justification of the dismissal of president and the General Secretary of FABD."

If no valid justification is provided to FIFA and AFC prior to the deadline, we will have no other alternative but to view the alleged dismissal as an attempt of undue third party interference and violation of the above articles.

In case of such violations FABD may have to be suspended in accordance with article 16 of the FIFA statutes resulting in FABD losing all it’s membership rights .
