History

[edit]

The Royal Brunei Police Force (RBPF) has been synonymous with the Brunei national and state league teams since the 1970s and 80s, contributing players such as 1981 Borneo Cup match-winner Zamani Ahmad,[3][4] Roslan Suhaili who scored a hat-trick against Indonesia at a 1980 Summer Olympics qualifying match,[5] as well as Zulkifli Anis who scored against the same opposition in a 1–1 draw at the 1983 SEA Games.[6][1] Officially formed as an entity in 1985, they regularly competed at national competitions throughout the 1990s.

The Police Force Football Team were a founding member of the 2002 B-League.[7] They withdrew before the 2003 season started, and it was not until 2011 that they reformed, only losing to Rimba Star FC for a qualifying spot in the 2011 Brunei Premier League II that year.[8]

After the reformation of the football pyramid by the newly formed NFABD, MS PDB FT finished third in their group at the 2011–12 Brunei National Football League, enabling them to play in the 2012–13 Brunei Super League.[9][10] The opening match of the league was the Bruneian version of the Singaporean Uniformed Derby: MS ABDB FT against MS PDB FT on 14 December and it ended 2–1 to the Army-men.[11]

As of 2023, the team has firmly kept its top-flight status for the last eight campaigns. They have also been losing finalists of the Brunei FA Cup in 2017–18 and 2018–19.[12]
