 Shocking Scandal in Brunei Football: FABD President Dismissed

The suspension of Haji Feisal bin Haji Eusoff Patail, President of the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (FABD), by Royal Command stems from a scandal that unfolded following Brunei's 0-11 loss to Russia. Allegations Behind the Scandal A viral video began circulating online, allegedly showing at least 3 players from Brunei's national football team visiting a strip club in Krasnodar. The footage purportedly depicted individuals smoking, drinking alcohol, and dancing—acts directly contravening Brunei's strict prohibition on alcohol consumption. In response, FABD issued a public statement denying the allegations. The association claimed the video was artificially generated using AI technology and urged fans to refrain from sharing or believing the content. Despite FABD's denial, the Brunei Royal Family and the Minister of Culture, Youth, and Sports launched an immediate investigation. Allegations that FABD may have violated national laws and regulations led to legal action against Haji Feisal and his subsequent removal from office.
