Club career

Hakeem began his footballing career at Jerudong FC from 2007 where he played alongside future DPMM FC star Azwan Ali Rahman. [3] The club finished fourth in successive seasons with Hakeem as their first choice centre-back. [4] [5] He also helped Jerudong qualify for the inaugural 2012–13 Brunei Super League by finishing second behind QAF FC in their group at the 2011–12 Brunei National Football League. [6]

Hakeem left Jerudong in 2015 and signed for Najip I-Team a year later for the 2016 season. [7] He played a part in Najip I-Team's fourth place finish in the league and reached the final of that year's FA Cup, losing to league champions MS ABDB in the final by a single goal courtesy of Baharin Hamidon. [8] He scored his first goal for Najip against Kota Ranger FC in a 4–2 victory on 9 April. [9]

In the middle of 2017, Hakeem transferred to Indera SC to replace the departed Hazwan Hamzah. [10] He scored his first goal for Indera against his old club Jerudong FC in a 7–0 win on 16 December of that year. [11] He reached the FA Cup final again on his second attempt and this time emerged victorious against MS PDB after a 2–0 win with goals from Asri Aspar and Zulkhairy Razali. [12] Additionally, he scored the winner in the following Brunei Super Cup match against league champions MS ABDB on 19 October 2018. [13]

Hakeem took over from Khairil Shahme Suhaimi to become captain of Indera at the start of the 2022 season. [14]

International career

Hakeem was called up to the national squad in the away friendly against Laos on 27 March 2022.
