context_page_description: The Philippine Air Force Football Club is a Filipino association football club whose players are officers, enlisted personnel, and civilians of the Philippine Air Force. The club last competed in the Philippines Football League, the top tier of Filipino club football.
  Founded in 1960, Philippine Air Force has won several trophies including four national championships in the 1980s and 1990s. PAF has also participated in the Asian Club Championship and the Asian Cup Winners' Cup.
  Philippine Air Force were one of the founding members of the United Football League, which was the de facto top flight of Philippine football back then. They won the inaugural UFL Cup in 2009 and went on to win the inaugural season of the UFL in 2010, becoming the first Filipino club to win the double. They won their second UFL title in 2011, and their second UFL cup in the following season. However, the club finished last in the 2013 season and were relegated to Division 2. They failed to earn promotion back to the top flight and eventually withdrew from the UFL after the 2014 season. After years of inactivity, Philippine Air Force joined the short-lived top-flight Philippine Premier League in 2019.
