Jerudong Football Club (Malay: Kelab Bola Sepak Jerudong) is a Bruneian football club that are competing in the Brunei Super League, the highest tier in the Brunei football league system.[1]

Jerudong FC was founded in 1994,[1] by Murni Mohammad and was started by a group of passionately enthusiastic football players who viewed football as a way to help the young in their community reach their full potential. As they had previously started out as little more than local villagers playing on the field, Jerudong FC draws its membership from across any community that is ready to join them. The membership then expanded beyond families and friends to include children of all ages and can accommodate players of all skill levels, from absolute novices to those with prior experience competing in both youth and adult competitions.[2]

Football was originally intended to provide a platform for adolescents to engage in more positive activities and stay away from activities that can be harmful to their wellbeing. These days, the club helps its players improve their abilities, techniques, and game knowledge so they can reach their maximum potential and, ultimately, create a route to Brunei representative football. Since then, the club has produced numerous remarkable athletes, many of whom have left Jerudong FC to pursue their own interests both on and off the field.[2]

Jerudong took part in the 2022 FA Cup, managing to qualify for the knockout phase but was defeated by eventual winners DPMM FC.[3]

Ground

Since their primary playing and training facility is situated on Jerudong Primary School Field, where they would train up to three times a week in preparation for any future matches, the club has strong ties to the community. They are one of the rare clubs that can boast having their own home field.[2]
