History edit
AKSE Bersatu was founded in 2012 from the merging of two Brunei-Muara district clubs, namely Persatuan AKSE (Setia Village Community Association) and Setia Bersatu.[2] They were well-established clubs which presence was limited to district level competition.[3] The newly formed team entered the 2012 Brunei FA Cup in the first round where they were eliminated by eventual winners MS ABDB.[4]
They have been members of the Brunei-Muara District League since 2015, reaching a third-place finish in 2018.[5] After two cancelled district league campaigns, they became the winner of the 2022 edition by beating Ar Rawda in the final by 3 goals to nil, essentially winning promotion to the Brunei Super League.[6]
The current main sponsor of the club is HiTune Group of Companies, a property and real estate developer among others.[7]
