'''Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Football Club''' ([[English language|English]]: '''His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Brunei Football Club'''; [[Abbreviation|abbrev]]: '''DPMM''' or '''Brunei DPMM''') is a professional [[association football|football]] club based in [[Bandar Seri Begawan]], [[Brunei Darussalam]]. The club set to play in the [[Malaysia Super League]] from [[2025–26 Malaysia Super League|2025–26]], the top tier of Malaysian football after last playing in the [[Singapore Premier League]] until 2024–25. DPMM is owned by the Crown Prince of Brunei, Prince [[Al-Muhtadee Billah]].

The club played in the [[Brunei Premier League]] in the early 2000s, winning the league title in 2002 and 2004. DPMM then decided to play in Malaysia, and joined the second-tier [[Premier League Malaysia|Malaysian Premier League]] as a foreign-based team in for the [[2005–06 Malaysia Premier League|2005–06 season]].<ref name=":1" /> They won promotion to the [[Super League Malaysia|Malaysian Super League]] (the top tier of Malaysian football) at the end of their first season in Malaysian football, and then finished 3rd and 10th in the following two season in the Malaysia Super League. The club then left the Malaysian league and joined Singapore's [[S.League]] for the [[2009 S.League|2009 season]]. They won the [[2009 Singapore League Cup|Singapore League Cup]] in their first season in Singapore, but were forced to withdraw from the league competition five games before the end of the season after [[FIFA]] suspended the [[Brunei Football Association]] for government interference in its affairs, thus barring teams from Brunei from taking part in overseas competitions. All the club's league results for 2009 were therefore expunged. At the end of the suspension, they re-entered the S.League and won the league title in [[2015 S.League|2015]] and [[2019 Singapore Premier League|2019]]. They are returning to the Malaysia Super League starting from the [[2025–26 Malaysia Super League|2025–26 season]].

==History==
===Beginnings in Brunei (1994–2004)===
DPMM started out as a [[college]] team in 1994, before being officially established as a professional club in 2000. After being the most successful team in college-level football in Brunei, most of the team's talented players joined DPMM when it became a professional.<ref>{{Cite web |title=DPMM FC |date=8 August 2021 |url=https://the-fabd.com/team/dpmm-fc/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |language=en-US |archive-date=1 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221201023803/https://the-fabd.com/team/dpmm-fc/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

The club enjoyed considerable success in Brunei's domestic competitions in the early-2000s, winning the [[Brunei Premier League]] in [[2002 Brunei Premier League|2002]] and [[2004 Brunei Premier League|2004]],<ref>{{Cite news |date=6 November 2002 |title=Kedudukan Akhir Proton B-League 2002 |pages=392 |work=Pelita Brunei |url=http://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/2002/edited2002%20part%202.pdf#page=392 |access-date=18 September 2019 |archive-date=1 September 2020 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200901205611/http://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/2002/edited2002%20part%202.pdf#page=392 |url-status=live }}</ref><ref>{{Cite web |title=Shell Helix B-League 2004 Premier One |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/brunei04.html |access-date=2022-12-09 |website=[[RSSSF]] |archive-date=21 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221221202540/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/brunei04.html |url-status=live }}</ref> the [[Brunei FA Cup]] in 2004, and the [[Brunei Super Cup]] in 2002 and 2004.<ref>{{Cite web |title=Brunei - List of Cup Finals |url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bruneicuphist.html |access-date=2022-12-09 |website=[[RSSSF]] |archive-date=7 October 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221007120524/https://www.rsssf.org/tablesb/bruneicuphist.html |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Joining the Malaysian league (2005–2008)===
In 2005, DPMM stopped playing in Brunei's domestic league and joined the [[2005 Malaysia Premier League|Malaysia Premier League]] (the second tier of Malaysian football) as a foreign-based team, replacing the [[Brunei M-League Team|Brunei representative team]].<ref name=":1">{{Cite news |date=7 December 2005 |title=20 pemain tempatan, 4 pemain import sarung jersi Brunei DPMM |pages=11 |work=Pelita Brunei |url=https://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/2005/07%20DISEMBER%202005.pdf}}</ref> The club was then promoted to the top tier of Malaysian football, [[Malaysia Super League]] via the play-offs after a 2–1 aggregate victory over [[Pahang FA|Pahang]].<ref>{{cite web |title=Malaysia 2005/06|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tablesm/malay06.html|date=31 July 2008|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|accessdate=12 June 2023}}</ref> They then remarkably finished in 3rd place in their first season in the top tier ([[2006–07 Malaysia Premier League|2006–07]]).<ref>{{Cite news |date=6 June 2007 |title=DPMM FC tandatangani kontrak dengan penaja |pages=15 |work=Pelita Brunei |url=https://www.pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/2007/06%20JUN%202007.pdf |access-date=19 January 2023 |archive-date=21 August 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210821023816/http://pelitabrunei.gov.bn/Arkib%20Dokumen/2007/06%20JUN%202007.pdf |url-status=live }}</ref> In the following season ([[2007–08 Malaysia Super League|2007–08]]), they finished in 10th place. They then had to leave the Malaysia Super League due to the deregistration of the [[Brunei Football Association]] by the Registrar of Societies.<ref>{{cite web|title=Appeal fails, BAFA sinks|url=http://brudirect.com/DailyInfo/News/Archive/Dec08/251208/bb03.htm|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|date=25 December 2008|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20090130042128/http://brudirect.com/DailyInfo/News/Archive/Dec08/251208/bb03.htm|archivedate=30 January 2009|accessdate=13 May 2021}}</ref>

Since 2004, DPMM had also competed annually in the [[Singapore Cup]] (a knock-out tournament which the [[Football Association of Singapore]] invites a number of teams from other countries to take part in alongside Singaporean clubs).<ref>{{Cite web |date=2019-10-20 |title=DPMM FC go top of Group 'B' in Singapore Cup » Borneo Bulletin Online |url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-go-top-group-b-singapore-cup/ |access-date=2022-12-09 |website=DPMM FC go top of Group ‘B’ in Singapore Cup |language=en-US |archive-date=9 December 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221209091915/https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-go-top-group-b-singapore-cup/ |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Joining the Singapore league, and suspension (2009)===
[[File:League Cup 2009 Final- DPMM vs SAFFC, 19 Jun - 3641955964.jpg|thumb|DPMM playing against [[SAFFC]] during the [[2009 Singapore League Cup|2009 S.League Cup Final]]]]
After leaving the Malaysia Super League, DPMM joined Singapore's [[S.League]] for the [[2009 S.League|2009 season]], becoming the first team in the league to play their home matches outside Singapore at the [[Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium]]. The club quickly made an impact on the Singapore football scene by winning the [[Singapore League Cup]] in June 2009. They defeated the [[SAFFC]] in the final on penalties after the match had ended in a 1–1 draw. However, on 30 September that year, [[FIFA]] suspended the [[Brunei Football Association]] for government interference in its affairs.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-10-03 |title=FIFA.com - Key decisions reached in Rio |url=http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/bodies/media/newsid=1109930.html#key+decisions+reached+rio |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091003015843/http://www.fifa.com/aboutfifa/federation/bodies/media/newsid=1109930.html#key+decisions+reached+rio |url-status=dead |archive-date=2009-10-03 |access-date=2022-12-09 }}</ref> This meant that teams from Brunei were no longer allowed to compete in tournaments run by other national member associations. The Football Association of Singapore appealed to [[FIFA]] to allow DPMM to finish the S.League season, but the appeal was rejected. The results of all DPMM's league matches for 2009 were therefore expunged.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2009-10-23 |title=sleague Portal : S.League |url=http://www.sleague.com/Web/Main.aspx?ID=,68e68380-9e0b-44b2-8a32-d06df7470ca6&AID=d0c2feba-e96e-4f8e-a7d4-9afcc36386f8&NLT=300 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20091023041519/http://www.sleague.com/Web/Main.aspx?ID=,68e68380-9e0b-44b2-8a32-d06df7470ca6&AID=d0c2feba-e96e-4f8e-a7d4-9afcc36386f8&NLT=300 |url-status=usurped |archive-date=2009-10-23 |access-date=2022-12-09 }}</ref>

===Lifting of suspension, success in Singapore (2012–2015)===
After 20 months of being suspended, FIFA has decided to lift the suspension off [[Brunei Darussalam]]. This means that the national team as well as the football teams from [[Brunei Darussalam]] are allowed to join any football competitions under FIFA. DPMM re-entered the S.League in the [[2012 S.League|2012 season]], and became dominant after the arrival of former [[Premier League|English Premier League]] manager [[Steve Kean]] in [[2014 S.League|2014]]. They won their first [[2015 S.League|S.League]] title in 2015, a year after losing ground in the final fixture of the 2014 season.<ref>{{cite web|title=Sergio Stars To Help Wasps Clinch First-Ever Title|url=http://www.sleague.com/match-report/s-league/2015/November/2015-11-21/brunei-dpmm-fc|date=22 November 2015|publisher=[[S.League]]|access-date=23 November 2015|archive-date=23 November 2015|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20151123092639/http://www.sleague.com/match-report/s-league/2015/November/2015-11-21/brunei-dpmm-fc|url-status=usurped}}</ref>

===Intention to pull out from the S.League (2016–2020)===
Since the [[2016 S.League|2016 season]], the [[Football Association of Singapore]] (FAS) has been reducing the number of imports allowed per the S.League team. This has affected the Bruneian-based outfit greatly, with a lesser pool of local players against Singapore's (or [[Japan]]'s in the case of [[Albirex Niigata (S)]]).<ref>{{cite web|title=Steve Kean, One-on-one: The reduction of foreign players in the S.League is "hard to understand"|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/sg/features/steve-kean-one-one-reduction-foreign-players-sleague-hard-understand|date=20 December 2017|publisher=[[FourFourTwo]] Singapore|access-date=13 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180213135131/https://www.fourfourtwo.com/sg/features/steve-kean-one-one-reduction-foreign-players-sleague-hard-understand|archive-date=13 February 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Towards the conclusion of the [[2017 S.League]] in November, DPMM announced their intention on their website to possibly move to the [[Malaysian football league system|Malaysian league]], which they last appeared in [[2007–08 Malaysia Super League|2008]]. This intention was later "dashed" by the [[Football Association of Malaysia|FAM]] and in particular by the [[Football Malaysia LLP]], which stipulated that DPMM have to play their home games in Malaysia and to have a squad full of Malaysians with Bruneians regarded as import players. DPMM called these rulings "unprofessional" and "insane".<ref>{{cite web |title=DPMM FC|url=http://www.eteamz.com:80/dpmmfc|date=|url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20171225035709/http://www.eteamz.com:80/dpmmfc|archivedate=25 December 2017|publisher=DPMM FC|accessdate=22 April 2021}}</ref>

In late December, DPMM stated their intentions to join the [[Liga 1 (Indonesia)|Indonesian league]] for the [[2018 Liga 1 (Indonesia)|2018 season]] instead.<ref>{{cite web|title=Brunei DPMM could pull out of 2018 S.League|url=https://tnp.straitstimes.com/sports/singapore-football/brunei-dpmm-could-pull-out-2018-sleague|date=20 December 2017|publisher=The New Paper|access-date=12 February 2018|archive-date=14 August 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220814210933/https://tnp.straitstimes.com/sports/singapore-football/brunei-dpmm-could-pull-out-2018-sleague|url-status=live}}</ref> This was made after a meeting between S.League clubs whereby new rules were set to restrict foreign imports to two, and the implementation of a youth-focused roster. However, the move would be "technically impossible" to happen according to [[PSSI]]'s secretary general a few days after the announcement was made.<ref>{{cite web|title=PSSI Tutup Pintu Untuk Klub Brunei ke Liga Indonesia|url=http://www.indosport.com/sepakbola/20171221/pssi-tutup-pintu-untuk-klub-brunei-ke-liga-indonesia|date=21 December 2017|publisher=Indosport|access-date=12 February 2018|archive-date=12 February 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180212143804/http://www.indosport.com/sepakbola/20171221/pssi-tutup-pintu-untuk-klub-brunei-ke-liga-indonesia|url-status=live}}</ref> 

Further talks with the FAS made at the turn of the year resulted in a compromise that was reached on 10 January 2018, where the S.League competition organisers would allow them to sign up to 3 foreign players instead of 2 with no age restrictions, and DPMM will also not be subject to the age restrictions. Each local S.League team, apart from the [[Young Lions FC|Young Lions]], will be required to have at least six under-23 players and eight under-30 players in the squad, with the remaining players to be of any age.<ref>{{cite web|title=DPMM participation for 2018 season|url=https://www.fourfourtwo.com/sg/features/brunei-dpmm-participate-2018-sleague-fas|access-date=23 January 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180114020500/https://www.fourfourtwo.com/sg/features/brunei-dpmm-participate-2018-sleague-fas|archive-date=14 January 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

Although they participated in the newly revamped [[2018 Singapore Premier League|Singapore Premier League]] in 2018, finishing in third place below champions Albirex Niigata (S) and [[Lion City Sailors FC|Home United]], DPMM considered joining another league in the [[Southeast Asia]] region. Reports by Singapore press in October 2018 revealed that DPMM have submitted an official enquiry to join [[Thai League 1]] for the [[2019 Thai League 1|2019 season]].<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/football-brunei-dpmm-may-leave-singapore-premier-league-to-play-in-thailands-top|title=Football: Brunei DPMM may leave Singapore Premier League to play in Thailand's top league next year|date=24 October 2018|website=The Straits Times|access-date=25 October 2018|archive-date=25 October 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181025071209/https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/football-brunei-dpmm-may-leave-singapore-premier-league-to-play-in-thailands-top|url-status=live}}</ref> The club would later announce that they will be competing in the [[2019 Singapore Premier League]],<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.eteamz.com/dpmmfc/|title=DPMM FC|publisher=DPMM FC|url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181121163506/http://www.eteamz.com/dpmmfc/|archive-date=21 November 2018|access-date=4 January 2019}}</ref> but afterwards expressed an interest to join Indonesia's Liga 1 in 2020.<ref>{{cite web|title=DPMM FC|url=http://www.eteamz.com/dpmmfc/|publisher=DPMM FC|access-date=4 January 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180903030935/http://www.eteamz.com/dpmmfc/|archive-date=3 September 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref>

On 15 September 2019, DPMM were confirmed champions of the 2019 Singapore Premier League after their closest rivals [[Hougang United]] only managed to play a 4–4 draw with Geylang International, leaving the Bruneian club with an unassailable four-point lead at the top of the table.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/dpmm-spl-champions-as-hougang-stumble|title=DPMM SPL champions as Hougang stumble|publisher=[[The Straits Times]]|date=16 September 2019|access-date=16 September 2019|archive-date=16 September 2019|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190916222529/https://www.straitstimes.com/sport/football/dpmm-spl-champions-as-hougang-stumble|url-status=live}}</ref> They also reached the semi-finals of the [[2019 Singapore Cup]] before being eliminated by via [[penalty shootout]] to [[Warriors FC|Warriors]] on 30 October.<ref>{{cite web|title=DPMM FC fall short of Singapore Cup final|url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-fall-short-singapore-cup-final/|date=31 October 2019|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|access-date=31 October 2019|archive-date=6 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221206012444/https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-fall-short-singapore-cup-final/|url-status=live}}</ref>

In 2020, DPMM participated in the [[2020 Singapore Premier League|Singapore Premier League]], but could only play one game before the [[COVID-19 pandemic]] forced the league to be suspended until October.<ref>{{cite web|title=2020 AIA Singapore Premier League season suspended|url=http://spl.sg/2020-aia-singapore-premier-league-season-suspended/|date=24 March 2020|publisher=[[Football Association of Singapore]]|access-date=27 October 2020|archive-date=30 October 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201030172332/http://spl.sg/2020-aia-singapore-premier-league-season-suspended/|url-status=live}}</ref> The team was unable to fulfill the remaining fixtures due to travel restrictions between Brunei and Singapore, resulting in the inevitable exclusion from the year's SPL season.<ref name=spl20>{{cite web|title=DPMM FC sit out in remainder of 2020 SPL season|url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/2020/10/dpmm-fc-sit-out-in-remainder-of-2020-spl-season/|date=27 October 2020|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|access-date=27 October 2020|archive-date=25 November 2020|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20201125171540/https://borneobulletin.com.bn/2020/10/dpmm-fc-sit-out-in-remainder-of-2020-spl-season/|url-status=dead}}</ref>

===Return to Brunei and back to using first team players (2019–2022)===

===Second stint in Singapore (2023–2025)===
DPMM began the process of returning to the Singapore Premier League after the restrictions necessitated by the pandemic eased since the year of 2022. The [[Asian Football Confederation|AFC]] ratified the move in August of that year.<ref>{{cite web|title=DPMM FC close in Singapore Premier League return|url=https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-close-in-singapore-premier-league-return/|date=1 October 2022|publisher=Borneo Bulletin|accessdate=2 February 2023|archive-date=9 December 2022|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20221209094928/https://borneobulletin.com.bn/dpmm-fc-close-in-singapore-premier-league-return/|url-status=live}}</ref> The Singapore Premier League website officially announced DPMM's participation for the [[2023 Singapore Premier League|2023 season]] on 27 January 2023.<ref>{{cite web|title=VAR to be implemented for 2023 Singapore Premier League season|url=https://www.fas.org.sg/var-2023-spl-february-start/|date=27 January 2023|publisher=[[Football Association of Singapore]]|accessdate=2 February 2023|archive-date=2 February 2023|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20230202050826/https://www.fas.org.sg/var-2023-spl-february-start/|url-status=live}}</ref> DPMM also qualified for the [[2023–24 AFC Cup|2023–24 AFC Cup qualification round]] for the first time in their history qualifying in the Preliminary round 2 where they face Myanmar club, [[Yangon United F.C.|Yangon United]] at the [[Thuwunna Stadium]] on 16 August 2023, but unfortunately DPMM conceded a last minute goal which saw them exit the tournament. They finished seventh in the league and fourth in the [[2023 Singapore Cup]]. For the first time in the club history, DPMM featured a main sponsor on their jersey ahead of the [[2024–25 Singapore Premier League|2024–25 season]], striking a deal with [[Royal Brunei Airlines]] where they will provide the team the necessity of travelling back and forth to Brunei for the league matches.

In early July 2024, just six games into the season, the club had to replace coach [[Rui Capela]] who left for personal reasons, and appointed Scotsman [[Jamie McAllister]] in his place.<ref>{{cite web |title=DPMM FC confirms new head coach.Jamie McAllister|url=https://www.dpmmfc.club/news/dpmm-fc-confirms-new-head-coachjamie-mcallister-2860365.html|date=9 July 2024|publisher=DPMM FC|accessdate=9 July 2024}}</ref> The club endured a five-match losing streak at the start of 2025 but balanced it out towards the end of the season by winning their final six matches, finishing in fifth place in the SPL standings.<ref>{{cite web |title=Singapore 2024/25|url=https://www.rsssf.org/tabless/sing2025.html|date=26 May 2025|publisher=Rec.Sport.Soccer Statistics Foundation|accessdate=27 May 2025}}</ref>

On 20 April 2024, DPMM returned to playing at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium after a period of unavailability due to renovation, winning 3–1 in a pre-season friendly against [[China League One]] side [[Guangxi Pingguo Haliao F.C.|Guangxi Pingguo Haliao]].
