Abdul Aziz bin Haji Tamit (born 7 September 1989) is a professional footballer from Brunei who serves as the captain and defender for Kota Ranger FC.
Club career
Abdul Aziz became part of Brunei DPMM FC in 2009 when the team transitioned from the Malaysia Super League to Singapore's S.League. His first appearance was on 10 May 2009 in a 2–0 defeat against Home United. During Brunei's two-year suspension by FIFA, he was loaned out to Indera SC and AM Gunners. Upon his return to DPMM in 2012, he was an important squad member throughout the 2013 and 2014 campaigns but found it challenging to maintain a starting position in 2015 due to competition from foreign players. With the introduction of limits on foreign players in 2016, Abdul Aziz saw increased playing opportunities, though he only featured in six matches before being released.
In 2017, Abdul Aziz joined Kasuka FC, reuniting with assistant coach Sairol Sahari and netting four goals that season. His strong performance led to a recall by DPMM FC in 2018, where under coach Renê Weber he secured a regular starting role. He scored in his return game, contributing to a 4–2 victory over Home United FC, and appeared in 20 matches as DPMM secured third place in the league standings.
For the 2019 season, Abdul Aziz was deregistered to make room for returning player Adi Said, but he was reinstated for the following year, reclaiming jersey number 21. Early in 2023, he moved back to Kasuka FC and helped the club earn the league title that year. In 2024, he transferred to Kota Ranger FC and was named captain for the 2025–26 season. He marked his leadership with a goal during a 3–2 win over Rimba Star on 3 October 2025.
International career
Abdul Aziz represented the Brunei under-21 side once at the 2007 Hassanal Bolkiah Trophy, playing in a 3–1 loss against Myanmar. His debut for the senior national team came during the qualifiers for the 2014 AFF Suzuki Cup, where he played the entire match against Timor-Leste on 12 October, which ended in a 4–2 defeat.
