A press conference was held prior to the handing over ceremony whereby Malcolm Lim highlighted that the sport (futsal) can flourish the countries name as well as proving that talented Bruneians can compete at international standards.

Indera SC, who had captured the Red Bull NFABD Futsal Champions League 2012 by defeating MS ABDB in the final, had the privilege to train with the Brunei futsal national team.

“So far we have been training five times a week with a couple of friendly matches to

brush up the team’s performance. We still have a few more matches in hand before we depart to Kuala Terengganu,” said the team manager, Aminuddin Nasuha.

Meanwhile, MS ABDB who are concentrating their training regime towards building “stamina, strategy and tactics” also trained five days a week, revealed team manager, Captain (Air) Pg Muhammad Mufid bin Pg Hj Umar Ariffin.

The Red Bull Futsal Tri-Nations Cup 2013 is slated on June 14-15 and expected to draw a large crowd of enthusiastic futsal fans to the Kuala Terengganu Indoor Stadium.

The event is also sanctioned by the Asian Football Confederation and played by FIFA rules.


Also present during the event was Valentine Ho Kingston Beverage & Creamery General Manager, players from both teams as well as representative from Red Bull Brunei.
