It was one of the oldest football clubs in Asia, until it was discontinued at the end of the 2019 season after 103 years in existence.

Up until the 2011 season, the club operated a policy of only playing homegrown talent, but ditched this as the game became more professional and foreign players were brought into the team.

Previously, the players would work for the Army during the week and play football on weekends, somewhat different from most clubs who operated on a full-time basis.

In 2011, rebranded Army United signed five Brazilians and surprised all expectations as they topped the TPL in the early weeks of the season, with Leandro Dos Santos scoring regularly.

Daniel Blanco was the most impressive performer as Army flirted with the Top 6 for long periods before eventually finishing in 10th position.

On the way to the final, Army was given a reprieve after they lost a penalty shoot-out to regional league side Trat.
