Lance Corporal (U) Mohamad Hibatur Rahman bin Mohamad (born 1 January 2000) is a Bruneian footballer who plays as a defender for MS ABDB and the Brunei national team.[1]
Club career
[edit]Hibatur began playing league football with Rimba Star FC of the Brunei Premier League in 2017. He scored his first league goal away against BSRC FC in a 3–1 loss on 14 May.[2] He stayed at the club until the end of the 2021 season which was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Brunei.[3]
Now enlisted in the Royal Brunei Air Force, Hibatur joined the football team of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces in the 2023 season under Yusof Matyassin.[4] Initially a central midfielder, Yusof converted Hibatur to a left-sided centre-back in his preferred 3-5-2 formation.[5] Hibatur scored his first goal for the armymen in a 2–0 victory over his previous team Rimba Star on 25 June.[6] The team performed well in the 16-team league and finished in fourth place at the end of the season.[7]
After the departure of first team players such as Martin Haddy Khallidden, Nazry Aiman Azaman and Abdul Hariz Herman to DPMM FC at the start of the 2024–25 season, the armymen found the league more challenging and only managed a mid-table finish.[8] However, in the following 2025 Brunei FA Cup, MS ABDB was able to reach the semi-finals and subsequently win the third place playoff over Kasuka FC where Hibatur scored his team's first goal in a late comeback and later on converted his penalty in the shootout.[8][9]

[edit]Hibatur was part of the Brunei U16 squad that participated in the July 2016 AFF U-16 Youth Championship held in Cambodia, making three appearances all from the bench.[10][11][12]
