History
The Malaysian Armed Forces Football Association (AFFA) was established in 1920, being one of the earliest teams to exist in Malaysia.[4][5][6] The British forces were the first to introduce football competitions in Malaysia by creating the HMS Malaya Cup (now known as the Malaysia Cup), which was contested by states including Singapore in 1921.[7] However, in line with the development of Malaysian football towards the professional era, the team has joined the Liga Semi-Pro which was first introduced in 1989.[8]
Armed Forces had their first major success in the 1997 season, when they won the Malaysia FAM Cup. Domestically, Armed Forces have won the numerous Malaysia football tournaments, besides being 3 times runners-up in the Malaysia Cup, winning the Malaysia Charity Shield and the Malaysian League Division II title in 2012.
New ownership and going privatised
The club changed its name from ATM FA to Armed Forces FC.[9][10][11] In July 2025, the club took part in the Durand Cup in India, under the name of AFFA.[12]
