Cebu Football - De Los Santos Football enters fourth season

THE De Los Santos Football Cup is set to kick off this Nov . 13 at the San Roque Football Field in Mandaue City.


The two-day tournament is on its fourth season, which aims to attract 80 teams.

“We initiated to have this kind of tournament to develop the grass-root level and develop more tournaments,” Lahug Football Club’s Sheba Castañares said.

He said the tournament used to be called the Lahug Football Festival.

However, since the football field in Lahug was not available, they changed the title to “Delos Santos” because it would be ironic to keep the name when the venue is the San Roque Field in Mandaue City.

The tournament will feature several categories, such as players 6, players 8, players
10, boys 12, boys 14, boys 17, which will be using a 7-aside format while the men’s open, inter-call center and 38 above will be using a 9-aside format.

The registration fee is pegged from P1,000 to P1,500 and the deadline will be this Thursday.

The defending cham-pion in the men’s open is the Don Bosco College (DBC) Alumni Football team. Castañares said they hope the DBC will join the tournament and defend heir title.
