Lance Corporal Muhammad Hariz Danial bin Haji Khallidden, born 1 November 1996, is a Bruneian footballer who plays as a striker for the Royal Brunei Armed Forces Sports Council Football Team (MS ABDB FT) and the Brunei national team.[1]

Club career

A career soldier for the Royal Brunei Armed Forces (RBAF, – ABDB), Hariz started playing for the army's football team MS ABDB FT in the second half of the 2018–19 Brunei Super League. He made his league debut on 4 January 2019 in a 4–1 victory over Najip FC, scoring in the 80th minute.[2] He contributed five goals in nine appearances in his half-season, including winning goals against title rivals Indera SC as well as Kasuka FC,[3] helping the armymen to win the league championship for the fourth consecutive time.[4]

After the discontinued 2020 season due to the COVID-19 pandemic, Hariz led the line for a transitioning MS ABDB FT side in 2021 and scored five goals in as many games, acquiring his first career hat-trick against BAKES FC in a 4–1 victory on 11 July.[5] The league was again abandoned due to the detection of COVID-19 infections inside the country, ending an over 450-day record where Brunei had zero local COVID-19 transmissions stretching from June 2020.[6]

The next year, Hariz and the armymen participated in the 2022 Brunei FA Cup and went all the way to the semi-finals, where they were eliminated 1–3 on aggregate by Kasuka FC.[7]

International career

Hariz received his first callup to the national team for the 2022 World Cup qualification matches against Mongolia in July 2019, alongside nine other uncapped players.[8] He played for Brunei in an exhibition match against the BSL All-Stars on 30 March 2021, which ended in a 1–1 draw.[9] He made his unofficial debut for the Wasps in a 1–3 defeat to Sabah FC at the Track & Field Sports Complex on 6 September 2023.[10] His first international cap came five days later in a 10–0 defeat away to Hong Kong, as a second-half substitute.[11]

In October 2023, Hariz received a call-up for the national team at the 2026 World Cup qualification matches against Indonesia in a two-legged affair.[12] He featured from the start in the first leg at left midfield, directly against Saddil Ramdani and Asnawi Mangkualam and performed admirably, but in the end the Wasps succumbed to a 6–0 defeat.[13] Five days later in the return leg at Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, Hariz only played for half-an-hour as a substitute for Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman where the Garuda ran out winners by repeating the same score from the previous clash.[14]

Hariz made four appearances in as many friendly games for Brunei in 2024, mostly as a substitute, as the Wasps recorded three wins against Vanuatu at the 2024 FIFA Series in March and also Sri Lanka which they played twice in June.[15]
