Newly elected Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (FABD) president Haji Feisal bin Haji Eusoff Patail recently met with International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) President Gianni Infantino at the FIFA Club World Cup in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia.
The FIFA President was scheduled to roll out his ‘Football Unites the World’ four-year strategy detail during the FIFA Football Summit 2023, attended by representatives of FIFA’s 211-member associations on December 21 in Jeddah.
Haji Feisal engaged in a discussion with the FIFA President on the state of Brunei football, including proposed strategies to move Brunei football forward. This will then be discussed among FABD’s Exco members and will then be cascaded down to the Brunei football community.
He said, “I will always keep everyone informed. We shall have no secrets. It was an incredible opportunity to discuss our goals and strategies to advance the sport within our nation.”
He also said the opportunity to capture the moment with the FIFA president and Saudi Arabian Football Federation President Yasser Al Misehal was remarkable.
“I was especially inspired by the article in INSIDE FIFA: ‘Saudi Arabia stages first-ever nationwide women’s (football) league’,” he said, adding that FABD has much to learn from Saudi Arabia.
