Pre-season

edit

The 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season will be the first season to be played over a winter schedule across two years. DPMM played a series of friendlies at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium in which they were finally allowed to use the stadium after the conclusion of renovations since 2021.

On 6 April, DPMM played a friendly match against Brunei Super League club MS ABDB in which the club won 4–1. DPMM than played another pre-season friendly match against China League One club Guangxi Pingguo Haliao at home where new signing Gabriel Gama and Miguel Oliveira scored in the match alongside Azwan Ali Rahman, which ended 3–1.[2]

On 19 April, DPMM along with Singaporean club Balestier Khalsa and Laotian club Young Elephants were invited by Malaysia Super League club Selangor to participate in the 2024 Selangor Asia Challenge pre-season mini tournament on 26–28 April.[3] DPMM registered a 4–0 loss to the hosts and a 3–3 draw against Balestier, which placed them in third for the tournament.[4][5]

On 30 April, a DPMM FC selection played an exhibition game against former English Premier League stars at the imagine Football Fiesta.[6] The game ended 4–2 to the home team.[7]

First half of season (May-Dec 2023)

edit

DPMM started brightly with two wins in as many games in May,[8] but technical difficulties at their Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium home ground forced them to play what was to be the first Singapore Premier League fixture to be held away from Singapore since 2021 at Jalan Besar Stadium instead, against Lion City Sailors which they lost 0–2.[9][10] The same week, they managed to draw 3–3 against the visiting Geylang International after finally managing to play at their home stadium.[11]

On 12 June, DPMM announced that Patrick Flottmann had suffered a ruptured ACL which will keep him away for a significant amount of the season.[12]
