The football tournament at the 1986 Brunei Merdeka Games was held from July 19 to 27 in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei. The tournament was also referred to as the Sultan Hassanal Bolkiah Cup, or the second Brunei Pesta Sukan Cup.
Teams
It is likely that the Philippines team was the full national team, but it is unknown. the Malaysian Tigers was a developmental team of young players, functioning as a national B team. The precise designation of the Thai team is unknown, but it was not the full Thailand national team (which was at the Merdeka Tournament in Kuala Lumpur). The Singapore team was composed of Malaysia Cup and intermediate squad players.{{cite news |title=Combined squad for Brunei Games |newspaper=The Straits Times |author=Dorai, Joe |page=27 |date=5 March 1986 }} However, the Singapore 2–0 Thailand match is listed by FIFA as a full international. No other match from this tournament is listed as such.
