Indera Sports Club is a multi-sports club from Brunei, mostly known for its association football team. They are currently playing in the Brunei Super League, winning the championship in 2013 and 2014.[3]
History[]
Indera SC was founded in 1970 by nobleman Pengiran Anak Hassanuddin Al-Haj bin Pengiran Anak Safiuddin with his siblings, and was based in Kilanas.[4] Over the years they became an established force in the local football scene, winning district-level championships in the seventies and eighties.[1] In 2002, Indera became one of the teams that featured in the inaugural Proton B-League, but finished fifth in their group and failed to advance to the second stage.[5] They accomplished this the next season, finishing in sixth place.[6] They then made eighth place for the next three seasons, in risk of relegation to the Premier II, the second level of the Brunei league structure then. In the 2009-10 season, the team was boosted by the arrivals of Sairol Sahari, Azwan Saleh and Helmi Zambin on loan from DPMM FC, ultimately faring much better in sixth place.[7]
In early 2010, the club management decided to change its name to Indera Sports Club to incorporate other disciplines such as futsal, badminton and netball.[1] The football team entered the Brunei Super League as a founding member in 2012, winning the championship thanks to stellar performances by future Brunei stars such as Azwan Ali Rahman, Nurikhwan Othman and Abdul Mu'iz Sisa, with the astute signing of Hamizan Aziz Sulaiman from QAF FC the previous year also becoming a major contributing factor.[3]
In 2014, Indera retained the championship, with a solitary defeat to MS ABDB their only blemish all season.
