BANDAR SERI BEGAWAN, Nov 9 — Brunei said they have pulled out of next month’s Suzuki Cup qualifier as the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic left them unable to prepare for the regional tournament.
Brunei had been due to face Timor-Leste on Dec. 1 in a playoff for a place in the group phase of the championship, which is being played in Singapore.“The pandemic has unfortunately had far-reaching effects on our team’s preparations for the tournament,” said Matusin Matasan, the president of Brunei’s football association.
“While all efforts have been put forth to resolve the difficulties, it proved to be too complicated at this late juncture.” Timor-Leste will now play in Group A alongside five-time champions Thailand, hosts Singapore, Myanmar and the Philippines. Defending champions Vietnam have been drawn in Group B with Malaysia, Indonesia, Cambodia and Laos.
