Azkals to train in Baguio

BY NIDA BUENAFE

After a short break, the Philippine football team will be heading for Baguio to start their training in preparation for the second leg of the AFC Challenge Cup playoff match set March 15 in Mongolia.

The Azkals are expected to arrive in Mongolia on February 21.

Coach Hans Michael Weiss said the team needs to train in cooler climate to get used to the weather when they arrived in Mongolia next month.

Earlier, co-team captain Emelio “Chieffy” Caligdong, who scored the Azkals’ first goal in Wednesday’s game against Mongolia, said they might be wearing long-sleeved uniforms and undershirts during the game.
