History

Rimba Star was founded in 2008 by current president and manager Yassin bin Haji Mohammad Noor, and entered the district leagues in their formative years. [2] In the 2010 Brunei FA Cup first round, they were drawn against Viva Rangers FC which boasted Shah Razen Said in their ranks and were defeated 3–2. [3]

Rimba Star qualified for the 2011 Brunei Premier League II by beating MS PDB in the qualifying match. [4] However, after it commenced, the league was cancelled later that June as a result of the disbanding of the organisers namely the Football Federation of Brunei Darussalam. [5] Its successor, National Football Association of Brunei Darussalam organised a competition for a new league system, and Rimba Star finished fourth behind Indera SC, MS ABDB and MS PDB in their group. [6] This meant that they were placed in the second tier starting with the 2014 Brunei Premier League. [7]

Rimba Star finished in the bottom half in subsequent campaigns in the Premier League, just steering clear of relegation in some cases. In the 2018–19 season they finished bottom of the league but with the expansion of the Brunei Super League in 2020, they were selected to play in the 16-team league. [8] They have been a member of the Super League ever since.
