Geographic coordinate system

Geographic coordinate system

The geographic coordinate system (GCS) is a spherical or ellipsoidal coordinate system for measuring and communicating positions directly on the Earth as latitude and longitude. It is the simplest, oldest and most widely used of the various spatial reference systems that are in use, and forms the basis for most others. Although latitude and longitude form a coordinate tuple like a cartesian coordinate system, the geographic coordinate system is not cartesian because the measurements are angles and are not on a planar surface.

History

Main articles: Brunei Football Association and Football Federation of Brunei Darussalam

FABD is the successor organisation of the Brunei Football Association (BAFA) that was banned by FIFA and AFC in 2009 for government interference.[3][4][5] At its meeting on May 30, 2011, the Fifa Executive Committee, presided over by president Joseph S. Blatter, resolved to remove the suspensions against the football associations of Bosnia-Herzegovina (FFBH) and Brunei Darussalam.[6]

In July 2021, it rebranded into its current name, omitting the word "National".[7] The association was also previously known as the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD).[8] The decision was made in order to firmly reflect on the association's objective of producing innovative and substantial advancements to increase the sport's viability. Additionally, it will reflect the association's development and progress since its founding in 2011. There was also a new logo introduced.[9]

On 2 March 2016, the AFC has presented the NFABD with the Grassroots Award for Aspiring Member Association at the first AFC Grassroots Conference this week in Kuala Lumpur.[10] As a substitute for the 2020 Brunei Super League, which was canceled on 19 September 2020 after just two matches owing to COVID-19, the 2020 FA Cup scheduled to begin on 1 November 2020 was canceled.[11] Following the recent lessening of lockdown due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the association plans to resume football in the nation on 12 June 2020.[12]

The NFABD plans to build a new Technical Centre and a Mini Grandstand inside of their complex with a budget of US$2.1 million.[13] The first Technical Centre with facilities for football practice and games for the National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam (NFABD) has started construction on 14 June 2021. The B$3.9 million technical center, which is entirely sponsored by the FIFA Forward Development Programme, is anticipated to give young people greater possibilities to hone their footballing abilities.[14] Considering the time needed to adapt to the new standards once the country started to open its activities once more, the FABD opted to stop the 2021 Brunei Super League.[15]
