Club career

edit

DPMM

edit

Nazry developed his footballing skills with the DPMM youth teams from 2019 to 2021.[2] He was also registered with the local side that won the 2018–19 Brunei Premier League unbeaten thanks to the goals of Hakeme Yazid Said and Abdul Azizi Ali Rahman.[3][4]

MS ABDB

edit

Nazry joined the football team of the Royal Brunei Armed Forces for the 2023 Brunei Super League and was a regular starter under coach Yusof Matyassin. On 26th May, Nazry scored the winning goal against the then undefeated league leaders Wijaya.[5] He added to his goal tally with the final goal of the game in a 5–0 victory over BAKES on 6 August.[6] MS ABDB FT finished the season in a respectable fourth place out of 16 teams.

Return to DPMM

edit

In March 2024, DPMM announced the signing of Nazry along with several other local talents to the first team for the upcoming 2024–25 Singapore Premier League season.[7] He signed full terms on 8 May and was given the number 21 shirt.[8] He made his professional league debut on 22 June against Geylang International as a substitute in a 3–3 draw at the Hassanal Bolkiah National Stadium, which was the first time DPMM played a Singapore Premier League home fixture in Brunei since the COVID-19 pandemic.[9]

International career

edit

Youth

edit

Nazry was the captain for the Brunei under-15s at the 2019 AFF U-15 Championship in Thailand in July–August.[10] The Young Wasps finished the tournament with one point out of five games, managing a 1–1 draw with Cambodia.[11] A month later, he was Indonesia-bound for the 2020 AFC U-16 Championship qualification group with the hosts, China, the Northern Marianas and Philippines. He led the team to a 5–1 victory against the islanders in the second group game, and finished in fourth place.[12]

The following November, he was promoted to the under-19s participating in the 2020 AFC U-19 Championship qualification matches held in Phnom Penh. He featured from the start in the first game against the Northern Marianas in a 4–3 victory.[13] He made three further appearances, each of them heavy defeats to Thailand, Malaysia and Cambodia.[14][15]

Nazry's next international youth tournament was with the under-23s at the February 2022 AFF U-23 Championship held in Cambodia.[16] Beaten 6–0 by the hosts in the first game,[17] the Young Wasps were unable to recover from the setback despite the heroics of Hakeme Yazid Said who managed to score against Timor-Leste and the Philippines.[18][19] In August 2023, Nazry was called up to the same age group for the 2023 AFF U-23 Championship held in Thailand as well as the 2024 AFC U-23 Asian Cup qualification matches in Jordan the following month. He made a total of seven appearances in the two fruitless campaigns for the Young Wasps.[20]

Nazry was given his first callup to the full international team in October 2023 at the 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifying matches, a two-legged affair against regional powerhouse Indonesia.[21] He was an unused substitute in both games, which finished 0–12 on aggregate.

In March 2024, he travelled to Saudi Arabia with the national team for the 2024 FIFA Series against Bermuda and Vanuatu, but did not see action.[22] He finally made his international debut on 8 June 2024 against Sri Lanka, as a substitute for Faturrahman Embran in a 1–0 victory.[23] He made the starting lineup against the same opposition five days later, the Wasps claiming a second victory against the South Asian nation.[24]

The following September, Nazry was selected for the Wasps competing at the play-offs for the third round of the 2027 AFC Asian Cup qualification in a two-legged tie against Macau.[25] He was given a start in the first leg at Bandar Seri Begawan on the 6th and scored Brunei's second goal in a 3–0 victory.[26] The Wasps eventually won the tie 4–0 on aggregate.[27] Nazry played twice against Timor-Leste at the 2024 ASEAN Championship qualification that took place the following month,[28] but this time Brunei failed to win the tie 0–1 on aggregate, knocking them out of the regional tournament.[29]
