PFF has accepted to play a charity match against South Korean club Icheon Citizen FC (3 div) on Jan 21 without informing UFL ?
Jan 21 is second week in the new season of UFL.
Will UFL postpone UFL matches that weekend or will they be played ?
Twitter Rick Olivares :" Spoke to UFLs Santi Araneta abt that & they are not giving up the field or will they release their players for that (Kaya & Loyola at least) "
The ufl being an independently run league has finally caught up! This is also why the Philippines' national league or top flight needs to be organized and governed by the national federation, the PFF. So there's no conflict or mess when it comes to things like this and other issues such as being eligible for AFC club competitions.
ReplyDeleteLet's get one thing straight: if PH football is going to develop, a national league is far more important to growth than a mediocre squad of full-time Azkals.
ReplyDeleteIts about time UFL stamp their authority. They always get the backseat everytime ABS-CBN covers the game, remember its their players who are playing.
ReplyDelete^^Hah! They can stamp their supposed authority all they want but as been said, the ufl is competition run by an independent group. If the PFF has planned fixtures for the national team, then the ufl will have to take a backseat.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that though, why can't they just move the matches for that weekend to be midweek fixtures? It's as simple as that really.
Here we go, Club and country argument in the Philippines. Welcome to football people.hahahaha
ReplyDeleteYes, fixtures for UFL is ready now , and two matches on Jan 21 at Rizal . Global Fc are one of the teams playing that day.
ReplyDeletenational team should be prioritized
ReplyDeleteUFL schedule many matches also during Dubai camp in February.
ReplyDeleteNational team should be prioritized because theyre playing a 3rd tier club from Korea? Thats BS!
ReplyDeleteAnd regarding the PFF vs UFL. If it werent for the guys behind the UFL, the philippines wouldnt have had a televised league. PFF can try as much as they like, but they will never be competent enough to do what the UFL is doing. How many times has the PFF tried? Many times, and the leagues keeps on folding up. UFL is here to stay, and the PFF should play along to that.
There are 3 parties involved in this saga, and those are PFF, Palami and UFL. Palami should just make a new club and call it Azkals, coz he is treating the national team like a club.
''NT should be prioritised''. For what? More kicks in the nuts to Filipino Pride?
ReplyDeleteAnyone with a football brain bigger than a grasshopper's knows no nation can leapfrog others who started genuine youth programs years ago.
Let's hear more about domestic development from the national federation and less about 5***** trips to foreign training grounds.
