Adi bin Haji Mohammad Said (born 15 January 1990) is a Bruneian international footballer who plays as a striker for DPMM FC and the Brunei national team.

Before joining DPMM FC in 2012, he played for Majra FC.[1][2]

International career

He was selected for the Brunei squad in the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification,[3] where he scored his first senior international goal against Timor-Leste. He was selected again for the 2014 edition, netting twice. He scored the winning goal in Brunei's first ever victory in World Cup qualification, versus Chinese Taipei in the first leg of the 2018 World Cup qualifying first round for AFC.[4]

Adi also played a starring role in helping the Brunei national under-21 football team win the 2012 edition of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy, a tournament for the national under-21 teams of ASEAN countries. He scored 5 goals, scoring in every game to become joint 2nd top scorer with Indonesia's Andik Vermansyah.[5] In the 2014 tournament, he was picked as one of the 5 permitted overage players and once again became the top scorer with 6 goals, despite being eliminated in the group stage.

At the 2011 SEA Games, Adi was also selected for the Brunei national under-23 football team, where he scored 3 goals in 5 appearances. He captained the same side in 2013, although failing to convert in 4 outings.
