Following their momentous Inter Services trophy win in 2024, their first in 8 years, the Carbon60-sponsored Royal Navy Men’s Football Team unfortunately couldn’t quite retain their title in 2025, eventually losing out to an inspired British Army side in Portsmouth.

Having kicked-off their title defence with an impressive 3-0 win over their Royal Air Force counterparts, the Navy seniors went into the final against the Army full of confidence and only needing a draw to take the Inter Services trophy back home to HMS Temeraire once again.

The Navy dominated the opening exchanges between the teams, however – needing a win to become 2025 champions – the Army side managed to get a grip on the match, and eventually the trophy, winning 3-0 against the pre-championship favourites.

As always, the final – and whole tournament – was played in fantastic spirit, with plenty of quality on show too, and showcased the indomitable fight, togetherness and camaraderie of our incredible Armed Forces.

Congratulations (and commiserations) from Everyone at Carbon60

Carbon60 have been avid supporters, sponsors, and partners of the military for many years, and we are proud to be part of the Inter Services story – in addition to many other military events, celebrations, and occasions.

Win, lose or draw, it is our honour to have our logo afront the shirts worn by the Royal Navy football team, and we would like to congratulate them – and the Army and RAF teams – for another incredible Inter Services championship this year.

Whilst the Navy’s title defence sadly wasn’t meant to be in 2025, we are already looking forward to supporting them in their battle to regain the trophy in 2026.
