There has been a football competition in Brunei since 1985 which was organised by the Brunei Football Association (BAFA). BAFA introduced a league competition known then as the Proton B-League in 2002. In 2008, the Brunei government de-registered BAFA from its Register of Societies, and acknowledged a new football federation, the Football Federation of Brunei Darussalam (FFBD). This irked international football's governing body FIFA to suspend Brunei's membership in September 2009  due to government interference. FIFA reinstated Brunei in May 2011, recognizing another football association, the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) as its representative to Brunei. This resulted in the abandonment of the 2011 Brunei Premier League which was organized by FFBD. The NFABD reorganized the Brunei football league system, establishing a "super" league as the competition's top tier (thus mirroring the current league naming system of the Malaysians) which will be played after a preliminary competition which will decide the teams that will be in the new league. This became the 2011–12 Brunei National Football League, where  32 teams in 4 groups qualify for 10 places in the Brunei Super League. The founding members of the Brunei Super League are: Indera FC, Jerudong FC, Kilanas FC, LLRC FT, Majra United FC, MS ABDB, MS PDB, Najip FC, QAF FC and Wijaya FC. Current format.
