Athletics career
editAt the 2016 Summer Olympics, Fakhri competed for the Bruneian team in the men's 100 metres.[4] He posted a time of 10.92 seconds to progress further from the prelims as one of the eight fastest sprinters of the field, before rounding out the first of eight heats in ninth place with a 10.95, almost half a second shy of his personal best.[5] He also served as Brunei's flag bearer during the parade of nations segment of the opening ceremony.[6][7]
Football career
editFakhri was previously a goal-getter for lesser Bruneian clubs like DST FC and IKLS FC.[8][9] In the second half of the 2018-19 Brunei Super League season, Indera SC signed Fakhri to bolster their striking options, to replace departing Indonesian forward Iner Sontany Putra.[10]
Fakhri scored his first two goals for Indera against Rimba Star FC on 28 February 2020 in a 9–0 win.[11]
