Amirul Hakeem bin Haji Kasim (born 18 March 1990) is a Bruneian footballer who last played for Indera SC of the Brunei Super League as a defender.[1]

Club career

[edit]

Hakeem began his footballing career at Jerudong FC from 2007 where he played alongside future DPMM FC star Azwan Ali Rahman.[2] The club finished fourth in successive seasons with Hakeem as their first choice centre-back.[3][4] He also helped Jerudong qualify for the inaugural 2012–13 Brunei Super League by finishing second behind QAF FC in their group at the 2011–12 Brunei National Football League.[5]

Hakeem left Jerudong in 2015 and signed for Najip I-Team a year later for the 2016 season.[6] He played a part in Najip I-Team's fourth-place finish in the league and reached the final of that year's FA Cup, losing to league champions MS ABDB in the final by a single goal courtesy of Baharin Hamidon.[7] He scored his first goal for Najip against Kota Ranger FC in a 4–2 victory on 9 April.[8]

In the middle of 2017, Hakeem transferred to Indera SC to replace the departed Hazwan Hamzah.[9] He scored his first goal for Indera against his old club Jerudong FC in a 7–0 win on 16 December of that year.[10] He reached the FA Cup final again on his second attempt and this time emerged victorious against MS PDB after a 2–0 win with goals from Asri Aspar and Zulkhairy Razali.[11] Additionally, he scored the winner in the following Brunei Super Cup match against league champions MS ABDB on 19 October 2018.[12]

Hakeem took over from Khairil Shahme Suhaimi to become captain of Indera at the start of the 2022 season.[13] He quietly exited the team in the 2024–25 season.

International career

[edit]

Hakeem was called up to the national squad in the away friendly against Laos on 27 March 2022.[1] He made his international debut as a substitute in the game, playing the final seven minutes in a 3–2 loss.[14] He was recalled to the side for another friendly against Malaysia exactly two months later in Kuala Lumpur and similarly came on in the second half. He conceded a penalty for a foul on Akhyar Rashid to condemn the Wasps to a 4–0 defeat.[15]

Personal life
