History
Originally founded in 1982 as Ministry of Defence, the team changed its name to Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Football Club after the restoration of monarchy in 1993 and renamed again in 2008 to Ministry of National Defence Football Club. In 2020 it was announced that the club would return to the name of Royal Cambodian Armed Forces Football Club (RCAF) and would take on the nickname Tiffy Army due to sponsorship reasons.
For a six-year period between 2020 and 2025, the club was widely recognized under the commercial moniker, Tiffy Army due to sponsorship reasons. Following the conclusion of this partnership, the club moved forward from its commercial branding to shift its focus entirely back to its long-standing historic roots. In 2025, Tiffy Army would change their name back to Royal Cambodian Armed Forces (RCAF) ahead of the 2025–26 season.
Stadium
RCAF's home ground is the RCAF Old Stadium, which has the capacity of 8000 spectators. The stadium has served as the club's permanent home ground since 1982 and underwent major infrastructure upgrades in 2024 to add professional-grade LED floodlights, modernized team facilities, and structural renovations to the main grandstand.
