RP team to hold one-day clinic in Cebu

By Iste S. Leopoldo

ELEVEN members of the RP national team will be in to Cebu for the 1GOAL: Education for all Football Clinics this Saturday at the University of San Carlos (USC) Montessori Grounds.

“We initiated this free football clinic to create awareness about the 1GOAL advocacy which is to eradicate poverty through education,” said Toni Zuñiga, a volunteer of the Global Xchange (GX) program.

He added the Philippine national team will be flying to Cebu for a one-day free football clinic for young people who wish to learn or to improve their skills.

“There is no limit to the number of participants and as well as the age of the participants and it is open for boys and girls,” Zuniga said. He added he will also try to get people to sign up for this advocacy.

The clinic will be from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. After the clinic, there will also be an exhibition game between the RP team and the GX British and Filipino volunteers.

“Our British volunteers are also football players,” Zuniga said.

He added he has tapped Eleazar Toledo of the Cebu Football Association for help in their one-day clinic.

This is the second time the RP men’s team will play in the Cebu. The team also played a friendly against the Cebu All-Stars in April, 2008.
