Wafi Aminuddin
Muhammad Wafi bin Aminuddin (born 20 September 2000) is a Bruneian professional footballer who plays as a defender for DPMM and the Brunei national team.

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

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, Wafi joined DPMM FC initially as a youth player to compete in the 2019 Brunei Premier League. 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.

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

Playing domestically in the Brunei leagues since 2020, Wafi played at the 2022 Brunei FA Cup and won the competition on December 4 of that year.

On 19 March 2023 in a 1–3 defeat against Geylang International, Wafi was stretchered off in the second half after an awkward landing, which was later revealed to be an anterior cruciate ligament injury alongside a meniscus tear on his right knee which will rule him out for the rest of the season.
