Admiralty FC came under the limelight in February 2012 when its management announced the appointment of former Woodlands Wellington team manager and Tampines Rovers Director of Operations R. Vengadasalam as their team manager. It also made waves in the local footballing fraternity when it announced that it was interested in joining the S.League in 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://news.asiaone.com/News/Latest%2BNews/Sports/Story/A1Story20120229-330908.html )〕 Following the arrival of Venga, Admiralty swooped for veteran midfielder and ex-Singapore international Mohd Noor Ali to become the team's player-coach. In preparation for the 2012 NFL Division 2 season, Venga also orchestrated the moves for several well-known former S.League players such as like Azhar Baksin, Tan Sio Beng and Shariff Abdul Samat, as well as Jean-Charles Blanpin and Nordine Talhi from Etoile FC following the Stars' decision to pull out from the 2012 S.League. Former Geylang United player Masnashzreen Masturi, the younger brother of Home United's Masrezwan Masturi, also plays for Admiralty FC as a striker. On 30 June 2012, Admiralty FC were crowned champions of the NFL Division 2 2012 season when they beat Jollilads Arsenal FC by a 5–1 scoreline. The victory was also the 12th consecutive win for the Wolves, preserving an unbeaten run for the club since the start of the 2012 NFL Division 2 season. Admiralty made history by becoming the first NFL club to qualify for the League Cup after beating Singapore Recreation Club in the League Cup Playoff Final on 12 May 2013.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.goal.com/en-sg/news/3880/singapore/2013/05/13/3974091/admiralty-fc-grateful-for-chance-to-compete-in-starhub )〕 ==Rivalries== Admiralty FC has a huge rivalry with fellow NFL club Sembawang Sports Club,〔"Sundram stars in Sembawang triumph", The Straits Times, 10 May 1993, Page 30〕 due to the fact that both teams have stemmed from the Sembawang area in northern Singapore. Both teams often locked horns in the NFL Division One in the nineties. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Admiralty FC」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
