MANILA, Philippines - The Philippine Azkals may finally find a home in Marikina City once the local government’s proposed rehabilitation of its football field materializes within the year.
Paul Sison, city public information chief, team manager Dan Palami and Mayor Del de Guzman have discussed the proposal before the group fled to Bacolod for their AFC Challenge Cup match with Mongolia.
“Palami said he wants Marikina to be home of the Azkals because of its proximity,” Sison told reporters during a forum held by the Association of Information Officers of Metro Manila (AIMM).
Azkals can use the field for their training and summer clinics, Sison added.
According to Sison, Palami estimated the project cost at P4 million. The money will be used to remove bumps and thick mud brought by typhoon Ondoy two years ago.
Sison expressed hopes that the project will kick off this month. He said the mayor has already approved the project and the only thing needed is the budget.
According to Sison, their city can gain a “celebrity status” once the rehabilitation is over.
“It can also become an instant tourist spot because we are expecting students from all over Metro Manila to come here and watch them play,” he said.

All i can say is if your gonna put money into any rehabilitation, they should study it carefully. Drainage should be improved first and foremost and the hiring of a professional groundskeeper who has knowledge in what the best turf to use and maintain here in the Philippines considering long periods of dry and then extreme wet conditions. They should include that in the budget or else much like a lot of infrastructure in the Philippines, it will deteriorate. Government often plans like that, one time big time expense and they dont put any budget for maintaining it for the future. I just hope they are just not trying to make money out of the popularity of football.
