BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN (21 Oct 2011) – Brunei are looking forward to their first game against Timor Leste on 5 November – marking their return to the biennial championship after ten years.
The last time the Sultanate side took part at the SEA Games was back in 2001 in Kuala Lumpur.
Brunei, who only had their ban from football lifted by FIFA in May this year after a two year absence, have been placed in Group B where other than Timor, they will also be up against runners-up Vietnam, Myanmar, Laos and the Philippines.
Towards making sure that they can be competitive for the task ahead, Brunei have formed a new Under-23 side where they have been in training since July.
