MEMBERS of Springdale Football Club can heave a sigh of relief after their three-year suspension from all football-related activities was overturned by the Philippine Football Federation Appeals Committee.
“We would like to inform you as per appeals committee, of the PFF ordering the immediate reinstatement of Springdale and its coach Mario Ceniza to play in all sanctioned tournaments of the CFA effective immediately,” Springdale’s Stanley Villacin said in a text message to Sun.Star Cebu.
In an earlier interview with Sun.Star Cebu, Villacin said the ban hampered the club’s effort to recruit players from their school.
Springdale and coach Ceniza were meted a three-year ban by the previous administration of the Cebu Football Association for withdrawing from its marquee event--the Aboitiz Cup – last January. Springdale’s withdrawal was a result of one of their teams getting forfeited in one Aboitiz Cup game.
With the ban overturned, Springdale can join the next edition of the Aboitiz Cup, which will now be under the new administration of the CFA.
