Despite his young age, Faiq has nine caps for the national team, once scored a goal and is the captain of the Brunei team at the 30th SEA Games taking place in the Philippines. One of his hobbies is playing soccer with a pet tiger.

"I played football very early and I always liked to run on the pitch with the ball at my feet," he said in an interview in 2018. "My parents always supported me to make my dream of becoming a player. trained me both physically and mentally during my childhood years, so I can say that they are my role models. "

On November 25, in the match against U22 Vietnam, he entered the field during the first half although he was originally on the reserve list. The match ended with a score of 6-0 in favor of Vietnam.

The night before, he was hospitalized due to an allergy when eating peanuts at a hotel in Manila, causing his lips to swell and tighten his throat.
