Club career

Born to a footballing family, Wafi began training with youth scheme Projek Ikan Pusu ever since he was 5 years old.[2] He attended Maktab Sains as a schoolboy. He was already a youth international by the age of 14, and was even invited to a soccer camp in Munich, Germany courtesy of Allianz two years later.[3]

Wafi began his league career with the Tabuan Muda national youth setup, captaining the under-17 club side in the 2016 Brunei Premier League followed by the 'A' team that played in the 2017-18 Brunei Super League. After a training stint at the Tokyo Institute of Technology in Japan in late 2018,[4] Wafi joined DPMM FC initially as a youth player to compete in the 2019 Brunei Premier League.[5] After the academy side comfortably claimed the league title, Wafi's performances as captain impressed new head coach Adrian Pennock enough to place him in the first team.[6]

Wafi made his Singapore Premier League debut in the 1-7 victory against Balestier Khalsa on 13 April 2019.[7]
