The RC Cola–Air Force Raiders were a women's volleyball team owned by ARC Refreshments Corporation. The team competed in the Philippine Super Liga from 2013 to 2016, debuting as the RC Cola Raiders before it partnered with the women's volleyball team of the Philippine Air Force to become the Air Force Raiders.[1]
While the team known as the Raiders competed until 2015, in 2016, the Philippine Army Lady Troopers partnered with ARC to form the RC Cola–Army Troopers.[2]
Both teams were named after RC Cola, which ARC is the licensee of in the Philippines.[3]
