Over 60 teams for DST Brunei FA Cup
Saturday, May 19, 2012
MORE than 60 teams are expected to participate in the first DST Brunei FA Cup next month.
Organised by the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD), the competition will start on June 6.
"We expect more than 60 teams to participate in the tournament. We have more than 40 teams affiliated to NFABD and more than 60 teams have registered with NFABD," said chairman of the tournament Hj Mohd Taha Hj Mohd Tahir (pic) during an interview with The Brunei Times after a media conference at the NFABD House in Berakas yesterday.
"It is going to be interesting since there will be new teams as well as established teams battling for the FA Cup," added Hj Mohd Taha.
"Thirty-two teams, who are participating in the DST National Football League this year, will be playing in the FA Cup and teams will be drawn regardless of their positions in the league at the moment. New teams like Najip FC and Liverpool SC surprised us in the league this year, and it would be interesting to see how these new teams will cope in the tournament.
"The draw for the tournament will be held on June 2 and InsyaAllah the tournament will start on June 6," he added.
"I would like to highlight that players who registered in the futsal tournament organised by the NFABD (the Red Bull NFABD Futsal Champions League 2012) are not allowed to play in the FA Cup the reason being that we would like to separate the futsal and football players in the country, especially those who registered in the tournament organised by the NFABD," he added.
The entry fee for the FA Cup is set at $150 per team.
Champions of the DST Brunei FA Cup 2012 will receive a challenge trophy, gold medals and a cash prize of $4,000. The runners-up, meanwhile, will receive a trophy and medals, along with a prize money of $3,000.
Each team can register no more than 25 players. Only players who are citizens or permanent residents of Brunei Darussalam are eligible to register for the competition.
Entry forms can be obtained at the NFABD House.
Interested parties can contact Hj Mohd Taha (pic) at 8747400 or the secretariat of the tournament at 2380047.
All entry forms together with registration fees should be submitted before May 30 at 5pm.
