Duli Pengiran Muda Mahkota Football Club II (English: His Royal Highness the Crown Prince of Brunei Football Club II; abbrev: DPMM II) is the reserve team of DPMM FC, playing in the Brunei Super League.
History
[edit]Mahkota United (2002)
[edit]Back in 2002, DPMM FC established a junior feeder team named Mahkota United padded with several international players to compete at the DPMM FC Invitational Cup held in April–May of that year.[2] Among the youngsters who played for Mahkota United at the tournament were Azman Ilham Noor, Rodrigo Prieto and George O'Callaghan.[3][4] They reached the final of the tournament, where they were beaten 5–1 by the senior side courtesy of an Ajayi Oluseye hat-trick.[4]
Reformation in the domestic league (2019–2020)
[edit]In the 2019 Brunei Premier League season, DPMM entered a youthful team as a brand-new member of the league, thus re-entering domestic competition for the first time since their departure for the Malaysia Premier League in 2005.[5][6] Their ranks were boosted by three senior players which were Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman, Azim Izamuddin Suhaimi and Azwan Ali Rahman.[7]
After nine games including the final match against contenders Tabuan Muda, the team became the champions of the league and won promotion to the Brunei Super League before a league restructuring by NFABD meant that the top tier was expanded to 16 teams in the 2020 season.[8]
DPMM II played only two games in the league after it commenced due to the worldwide COVID-19 pandemic.[9] When football resumed in 2021, the first team elected to play domestically, disbanding the reserve team once again.[10]
Current iteration (2024–)
[edit]DPMM FC's first team re-entered the Singapore Premier League in the 2023 season, thus vacating their place in the top tier of the Brunei league system of that year.[11] At the start of the 2024–25 Brunei Super League, DPMM entered a team consisting of their under-20 players who won the Brunei Youth League Under-20 earlier in the year, captained by the chairman's son, Prince Abdul Muntaqim.[12] The team won all of their games leading into the final match of the season on 2 February 2025 against second-placed Kasuka FC, trailing by two points. Their opponents prevailed in the match 2–3, surrendering their lead at the top of the table on the last day.[13]
In the 2025 Brunei FA Cup, DPMM II emerged as the victors of the knockout competition after a 1–0 victory against Indera SC in the final.[14]
DPMM II did not play at the 2025–26 Brunei Super League, but returned in the 2026–27 season.[15]
