The football tournament at the 1985 Brunei Merdeka Games was held from June 24 to 31 in Bandar Seri Begawan, Brunei.

Teams

[edit]

The standard of the teams is not clear. Brunei and Philippines were probably the full national teams. Singapore is unlikely to have been the national team. Malaysia, Indonesia, and Thailand were definitely not (their full national teams were playing in World Cup qualifiers during this period). Indonesia was represented by a selection from the Perserikatan league.
