Adi Said

Early career and rise at DPMM FC

Adi joined newly promoted Majra FC in 2007 and played for them in the Brunei Premier League until 2012, when his exploits on the international scene attracted Brunei's sole professional club DPMM FC to sign him for the 2012 S.League season. He scored his first goal for DPMM against Warriors FC on 23 June that year. Adi saw much playing time as a substitute in the following season, but the squad played underwhelmingly and finished in eighth place, costing Vjeran Simunic his job. Adi's new coach Steve Kean in contrast was more reluctant to utilise him, restricting Adi to only 10 appearances in the 2014 S.League. However, he made most of his chances count, scoring in the final of the League Cup, and netting two braces against Hougang United and Woodlands Wellington in an August purple patch. After a quiet 2015, Adi was given starts in all of DPMM's domestic cup matches for the 2016 campaign. He scored with a direct free kick in a 2–1 win over Tampines Rovers in the 2016 Singapore League Cup on 21 July. Adi scored 8 goals in all competitions in a largely disappointing 2017, to finish behind Rafael Ramazotti in the club's goalscoring tally for the year. The following season, Adi started ahead of elder brother and new captain Shahrazen in a new 4-3-3 formation deployed by Brazilian coach Renê Weber. Adi finished the season with 11 goals and 10 assists, making him joint-top assist-maker of the league, the other being Riku Moriyasu of Albirex…

Like his brother Shah Razen Said, Adi became an undisputed starter in the forward position for the Brunei national team at various levels. At the 26th SEA Games, Adi was 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. Adi played a starring role in helping the Brunei under-21s win the 2012 edition of the Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy, a tournament for the national under-21 teams of the ASEAN Football Federation. He scored 5 goals, scoring in every game to become joint top scorer with Indonesia's Andik Vermansyah. 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. Adi was selected for the Brunei squad at the 2012 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification, 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. Despite his irregular club form, Adi was selected for the 2016 AFF Suzuki Cup qualification matches held in Cambodia in October. He scored the first goal against Timor-Leste in Brunei's first group match, which went 2–1 to the Wasps. He also began the scoring in the third game against Laos…

Adi has three elder brothers who have represented Brunei; Shah Razen is the eldest of all, while Amalul and Ahmad Hafiz are former DPMM players. He has five younger brothers: former Majra FC strike partner Abdul Azim, another ex-Majra player Amirul Sabqi, former Menglait FC player Amiruddin Nizam, former MS ABDB striker Abdul Mateen, and Brunei international Hakeme Yazid of DPMM FC.
