2016 DPMM FC season

The 2016 season was DPMM FC's 5th consecutive season in the top flight of Singapore football, the S.League. They were the defending champions after a victorious 2015 campaign. The club also competed in the Singapore Cup and the Singapore League Cup.

This was Steve Kean's third season as head coach of the club. In this particular season, he advised players like Helmi Zambin, Yura Indera Putera Yunos and Najib Tarif to adapt to new playing positions in order to gain more minutes. Changes to the S.League in regards to foreign players' quota meant that the club had to release Boris Raspudic and Joe Gamble.
