Happy Mother's Day

Mom also collects Adidas so at least it’s not just me *lol*

Whenever I listen to the song by Josh Groban – You Raise Me Up, it reminds me a lot of my mother who plays an instrumental part of my life and even to this day. Though we hardly close as we were before, I truly and deeply appreciate for the endless support you have given me ever since I was a little boy. Now three decades have gone so fast and I’m no more a little kid. However, the things that I’m experiencing right now and my current journey, I would have to say that you played a vital role. Thank you once again for being a good role model and I always think of you a lot though we never spent time together. Hope you received the flowers. Thank you for being part of my life. Love you loads, Mom!!

The National Football Association Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) and Red Bull signed a title sponsorship agreement for the Red Bull-NFABD Futsal Champions League yesterday at the Multipurpose Hall, Hassanal Bolkiah Sports Complex.

The Red Bull-NFABD Futsal Champons League is an expansion of the Red Bull-NFABD Futsal Championship inaugurated last year. Champions QAF FC ‘B’ earned the right to play at the Red Bull Tri-Nations Cup, which was co-hosted by Red Bull Brunei and NFABD.

Singapore and Malaysia also participated in the tournament, with QAF FC ‘B’ emerging as eventual winners after a closely-competed round robin match with the representatives from Malaysia.

Signing on behalf of the NFABD was the General Secretary, Mohd Noor Hj Abdullah, and on behalf of Red Bull, Mr Raymond Lee, the Area Sales and Marketing Manager of Allswell Trading Pte Ltd, a Singaporean company licensed to sell Red Bull products in Brunei, Malaysia and Singapore.

Also present to witness the signing was the President of the NFABD, Dato Paduka Abdul Rahman Mohiddin, Manager of the DST National Football League, Hj Mohd Taha Hj Mohd Tahir, and officials and representatives from Red Bull Brunei. During the signing ceremony, Mr Raymond Lee said of the tournament, “Red Bull is excited at the prospect of doing its bit in developing the sport in the country.”

Forty teams from around the country will be competing in the Red Bull-NFABD Futsal Champions League, separated into eight groups, with the top two teams from each group advancing to the knock-out rounds.

The eventual winners and runners-up will be eligible to represent the country at the Red Bull Tri-Nations Cup, to be held in October, in Kuala Lumpur.

The agreement shows more signs of intent from the NFABD to build upon the recent success Brunei had during the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy Tournament and lay down the foundations for future teams, by using tournaments such as this and the DST National Football League as a means of scouting talent and promoting the sports of futsal and football throughout the country.
