Weekend Futbol League Elite

Philippines Football League
Green Archers United formally expressed interest to join the Philippine Premier League (PPL), the intended successor league of the Philippines Football League (PFL) in December 2018[6] Their only match in the short-lived PPL which only had one match day was a 0–3 loss to Kaya–Iloilo on April 27, 2019.[7] The PPL folded when the Philippine Football Federation withdrew its sanction of the league's operators and decided to revive the PFL within the same year.
The club was among the seven teams to participate in the 2019 season of the revived PFL league. They decided to enter the league after withdrawing its plans to do the same for the inaugural season of the PFL in 2017. This is due to a more lenient finance policies imposed in the 2019 season, which allowed freedom for clubs to sign in more sponsors than in previous iterations of the PFL. Green Archers United considered designating the Aboitiz Pitch in Lipa, Batangas, the PFF National Training Centre in Carmona, Cavite, and the Rizal Memorial Stadium as its home venue starting the 2019 PFL season.[8] The Green Archers decided to set the Lipa facility as their home venue, with their 4–0 win over Philippine Air Force on August 4, 2019 as their first official home match.[9]
Green Archers United decided not participate in 2020 season citing unsatisfactory media coverage of the PFL during the 2019 season.[10] Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the team has disbanded.[11]
