The sport of football in the country of Brunei is run by the Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (FABD).[1][2][3]
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 US$1.5 million.[4] A second goal project was approved in 2013, which was the installation of an artificial turf pitch and a natural pitch at the headquarters.[5] The total cost was about US$185,000.[6][7][8]
In 2020, the football association applied to FIFA for the construction of a technical centre and mini grandstand, which was approved in April 2021.[9]
Football clubs must adhere to the AFC's Club Development Licensing System in order to participate in the Brunei Super League, as well as cup competitions.[10]
