Faiq Bolkiah: Labeled as a 'Prince' but determined as a pro-footballer | Interview

When you’re introduced both as a ‘footballer’ and a ‘prince’ in the same sentence, it probably raises many eyebrows and turns multiple heads your way.
Attracting just that kind of attention has become routine for Faiq Bolkiah, Chonburi FC’s winger, who happens to be the royal descendant of the Sultan of Brunei Darussalam His Majesty Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah.
The 24-year-old has seen his name published online, click-baiting readers with fanciful stories about his plush lifestyle. From dubbing him the ‘World’s Richest Footballer’ to declaring that he had a net worth of ‘an estimated $20 billion,’ the media narrative has significantly misrepresented the man behind the story.
We’ll give you his side of the story.
Ahead of the 2022/2023 Thai League season, Main Stand International made a trip to Chonburi, in order to hear from the man himself.
Who really is Faiq Bolkiah? What is the true story of this aspiring footballer? Find out with Main Stand International.
