The latest news on Armed Forces FC centers around the Malaysian Armed Forces Football Association (ATM FA) in the ongoing Durand Cup 2025. The team is set to play against Rangdajied United FC at the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium in Shillong, in a crucial Group E match. Having already lost both prior fixtures—suffering a 6-0 defeat to Shillong Lajong and a 3-1 loss to NorthEast United—the Malaysian Armed Forces are out of contention for the next stage and are now playing for pride[1][5]. Their most recent sign of promise came with a late goal by Muhammad Amir Faisal during the match against NorthEast United[1].
Pre-match analysis suggests Rangdajied United are strong favorites due to the Malaysian side’s poor defensive record, having conceded nine goals in two matches. The fixture is expected to be an open and attacking contest, with both teams looking for redemption, though Rangdajied are considered likely to bounce back with the support of their home crowd[5].
