THE STORY SO FAR
The whistle is about to blow on a new campaign, and the Armada FC Reserves are ready for their maiden voyage of the 2025/26 season. With a summer of restructuring, fresh faces in the ranks, and intense pre-season graft behind them, the stage is set for a compelling season opener. There's an electric anticipation around the club as this fresh-look reserve squad prepares to stake its claim in the league.

This is not just another game – this is a statement of intent.

TEAM NEWS
Training intensity has been high following the club’s successful cup exploits last season, and a sense of unity has galvanised the Reserves into a side hungry for progress. Coach Shahid Khan will finalise his starting eleven after the morning warm-up, taking into account both physical sharpness and tactical balance.

TEAM STATS
This game marks the beginning of a new era for Armada FC Reserves. Last season concluded with silverware success, growing belief, and key players stepping up when it mattered most. Now, with a clean slate and a league campaign stretching ahead, all eyes are on how this newly-assembled side will rise to the occasion.

They may be starting from zero, but ambition is already peaking at 100.

OPPOSITION FORM
Bellford Rovers FC endured a difficult campaign last season – with only 3 wins, 3 draws, and a disappointing 12 losses. Their goal difference of -32 and meagre 15 goals scored across the entire season saw them finish second from bottom. But opening fixtures bring unpredictability. While the stats don’t lie, teams can change. Bellford Rovers will be desperate to put their past behind them and show they’re not to be underestimated. Expect a tight defensive structure and counter-attacking urgency – Armada must be alert from the first whistle.

OWNER's THOUGHTS
“There’s a real buzz around the group. They've worked hard in pre-season to build fitness, chemistry, and a winning mindset. This game is about setting our standard early – we respect the opposition, but our focus is on executing our game plan. The boys are ready.”
— Abi, Armada FC Owner
