Add the PFF-Smart Club Championship to Global FC's already-stacked schedule this year.
Global will represent the Leyte Football Association, marking the first time they will represent the province in a national competition.
Although Global sees action in the UFL, the club is actually a registered member of Leyte FA headed by club owner Dan Palami.
The People's Club participated in the last two editions of the competition, winning the title in the inaugural season in 2011. Global reached the quarterfinals in the previous edition, where it lost to eventual winners Ceres FC last January.
Global are grouped in Group E for the regional group stage qualifying rounds where they are grouped with Cebu FA's Cebu Queen City United FC and Northern Samar FA's Hijos FC.
Global will face Hijos FC on Saturday in Tacloban, and will meet Cebu Queen City United FC either on October 29 or 30, to determine which team will advance to the final qualifying round.

From Watchmen Daily Journal Sept 30
With the 2013 Smart-PFF Club Championships Group E set to kick off Wednesday, the Leyte Football Association was stripped out of the competition after organizers found violation on the team.
In a communication from PFF, Dick Empirado, chairman of the PFF Competitions Committee and a member of the PFF Board of Governors, wrote that upon the deadline of submission of all club entries participating in this tournament, Leyte FA submitted as its club participant-members and officials from the Global Football Club (Global FC).
On inquiry of the PFF Competitions Department in its official capacity as administrator of the PFF-Smart National Club Championships 2013, the department reported to the PFF Competitions Committee that the Global Football Club (Global FC) is officially registered as a regular member of the National Capital Region Football Association (NCRFA) and not with Leyte FA.
Thus, upon proper inquiry and deliberation of the PFF Competitions Committee, they have concluded that two (2) violations have been clearly committed by Leyte FA. First, by submitting the players and officials and/or the Global FC as its official club entry who is a regular member of the NCRFA and second, no provincial elimination report was submitted that would justify its official representative to the competition.

Latest news is that PFF allow Rufo Sanchez to play in the qualifiers !
ReplyDeletePalami for PFF president na talaga to!!!
ReplyDeletewas previously disqualified? was there actually a ruling on the disqualification?
ReplyDeleteAnd there they go again with their "the people's club" bullshit!!
ReplyDeleteWhat the hell is Rufo doing playing in the PFF Smart Club Championships?
ReplyDeletePersonally, I couldn't give a crap who he plays for. He can play for Global or whoever....in the UFL. But the PFF Smart Club Championships?
That's pathetic. Global is a club who doesn't develop homegrown players.
Shut up shut up please.palami is the best. He gave us hope and love for football. I believe in azkals because of imports. I love africa not filipino but filipino americans are ok
DeleteWTF!
DeleteHe gave us foreign based players and the three stooges. Thats all!
This is pure bullshit! First they were ruled out, and now theyre in again. WTF! Only in the Philippines. I bet Palami had something to do with this. Palami Football Federation!
Without palami, filipino football will still be kicking rocks and wont have any jersey or stay in the slums like the majority do
DeletePDAF yan ... PALAMI DAN AZKALS FOOTBALL
DeleteWe love palami. Palami saved pinoy football. Please naturaluze africans from the poorest regions and replace all the useless pinoys. Thank you for giving us a dream and feeling of pride coz we are #1 in asean.
ReplyDeleteU shud be grateful to plmi coz filipinos dont even knw how to kick a football. They just play darts and cards
ReplyDeleteMasyado mo namang Dino Dyos si Palami , hindi siya ang nag establish ng Football sa Pilipinas. He did not even discovered the Azkals , he was just at the proper place and time when they won a place in the Suzuki cup which started it all. We owe it to the players and not Dan Palami. It was the late Marie Martinez that started the Azkal Team before , it was just named by Dan when they won , and the media had gone wild because of this. Please Go back to your history of football in the Philippines (50 or 100 years ago) mayado mo namang nilalait ang Pilipino Football players. Baka ikaw lang ang Pilipinong hindi marunong sumipa ng football , na nakatira sa slums , at walang suot na shirt at nag totong-its. Mas mabuti kaya gawin mo na lang Dart Board ang mukha mo para may pakinabang ka sa sports.
DeleteMga kurakot kasi yan dati na natanggal na! Wala kasi ginawa kundi binubulsa lahat. Selos nalang ngayun.
ReplyDeleteeh sino ngayon ang nagbubulsa ng limpak limpak na salapi ... at sino ngayon ang kumukarakot ng pera .... tanungin mo yan sa Boss mo . Marami na ang nakakakaalam , ikaw lang ang tanga.
Deleteano ang pag seselosan nila ?
Deleteang pangungurakot o ang pag bubulsa ng pera.
Am I the only one who feels a bit sorry for CQCU here and is tired of bashing on Palami? Granted I will always hate Global, but it's the same arguments over and over again. Why Global can participate in this competition although they are part of thr UFL is beyond me.
ReplyDeleteThe sudden appearance of Global in the PFF National Club Championship despite the fact that the regional qualifiers for the Visayas concluded last October 6 will surely generate resentment and anger among the other provincial participants.
ReplyDeleteThere are talks that certain quarters are already vehemently protesting the decision of PFF and are threatening to pull out from the competition ---and rightly so.
Didn’t Global emerge as winners of the 1st PFF-Smart National Club Championship representing the NCR? Will we see Global in the near future representing a Mindanao Provincial Association? LOL!
Palami once again showing he is able to abuse his power.
ReplyDeleteSick and tired of people saying this fat guy is the saviour of football.
He is doing more damage then good.
This is a very sensitive matter, from what i kow CQCU and Global are sister teams, owners are very good friends, there should have been delicadeza before a decision was made, NCR should have been the right FA that Global should qualify, ironically NCR didnt send a representative, I wonder why.... PFF let them go through NCR instead, to save your faces since you've already declared Cebu as the representative of the Visayas.. Tsk tsk
ReplyDeleteGlobal and Laos FC are sister teams. Laos is the club that is actually based in Leyte, while Global plays for the NCR.
DeleteOh and thr NCR will probably send it's representatives via thr next UFL Cup, just like last year.
DeletePalami ang galing mo dumiskarte! Nag iba naman ang address ng Global FC naging Visayas team na naman sila para makapaglaro at manalo ng wlang kahirap hirap at pang akit sa mga sponsors na lalong dumikit at magbigay sa kanya dahil "convincing" ang team palaging Tsampiyon at sikaaaaaT!!!!
ReplyDeleteThe big loss of the Philippine National Futsal Team was due to Palami's greed for power and control. He recently literally fired the former National Futsal Team Manager for unknown reasons and appointed his buddy Mel Macasaquit, owner and CEO of the Azkals Sports Bar. What are the credentials of Macasaet aside from being a fan of the Azkals and Global-----NONE thus the humiliating results.
ReplyDeleteEven the nickname of the Philippine National Men’s Team “AZKALS” is a trademark registered under the name of Palami and not the PFF. Where in the world does this happen. He treats everything in football including the national teams like his own property.
Now we have this controversy regarding Global FC eligibility. The two eligibility requirements are a club must be a member of its provincial association and that the provincial association must conduct its own provincial eliminations to determine their representative and a report complete Tournament Report must be submitted which should include results and list of participants. Granted that Global is a member of Leyte what Tournament Report did Leyte submit when Leyte did not conduct any provincial elimination round wherein Global participated? Here in Leyte if you ask around people will tell you that no such tournament was conducted even the players of Global will not be able to give you any detail on such a tournament. Surely if Palami submitted a report it can’t be anything else but fabricated.
You are absolutely right ...
DeleteMel Macasaquet is one of the many money maker of Dan Palami... his name was only put there so that the funds will not be traced to be going to his pocket and the people form PFF. Mr. Macasaquet does not even heard of futsal and does not even know a shit about the game.
Mel is a close friend of Palami and Ace Bright, and Mel also has a sports agency together with Ace Bright. It would be ignorant to say that he doesnt know shit about the game. I know for a fact that Mel knows pretty much what futsal is, but this doesnt really change the fact that he is not qualified for this kind of job. He is a young man who has his pockets full of money, or his parents, and he is benefitting of the sudden rise of the popularity which the azkals has gained the last couple of years.
DeleteAzkals is a trademark, and together with that comes the money.
What is clear here is that the PFF should put their feet down and do something about Palamis involvements. But who are they to say no to a man who has given them basically everything they have wished for?
Mel started to have an interest in futsal because of Misagh Bahadoran who is one of his talents and a player of Global ... he coined the name Muzang and started promoting the players of his so called national team "philippine Muzang" headed by Dan Palami way back before it was officially submitted in PSC-POC. He said it was just a Club but their tweets says otherwise. The national teams committee and the managers committee of PFF placed Mel in the position and changed the old managers , the coaches and got some of the players that was recruited and trained by the former management.
DeleteFor the involvement of Mr. Dan Palami , PFF should have stopped Dans reign a long time ago. now he has all the players under his marketing and management contract , PFF cannot move without giving him the royalty. He practically monopolized the national team players, by heading the national teams committee (in almost all division) so that PFF cannot move and stop him.
Basically , PFF cannot do anything to stop him , but to say that is because he had given PFF everything they wished for is something I cannot fathom , maybe PFF had given everything to Mr. Palami that is why he is in this position. Mr. Palami did not discover the Azkals , it was a PFF old management and president that did it and the name came from the players themselves. And now he is claiming it . Even if we change the president of PFF Azkals will be coined to Mr. Palami and his marketing arm owning them . Di ba dapat PFF has the exclusive right for the national team and the Name Azkal hindi si Dan and his marketing / management group.
Kulelat lahat ng Youth teams natin na nag represent this year for AFC and AFF (maliban nlng sa U19 Teen Azkals dahil ayaw ibigay ni Carranza ang managerial position sa mga tao ni Palami) because Dan Palami changes all their managers and coaching staffs..
ReplyDeleteU13- last place
U16- 2nd to the last due to changes in team manager and coaching staff
U23 - disapprove by POC due to lack of exposure (Brian Reid of Global FC was the new head coach )
Only the head of POC dares to challenge that fat guy.
DeletePOC need to rein back PFF.
Afterall PFF is a national organization not fatlami pte ltd.
There are many sports that have been delivering result in PSC-POC. They would not even bother with the arrogant attitude of PFF that thinks and feels they are the most popular sports in the Philippines because of the AZKALS. The sponsors will soon see the whole picture that they investing in the wrong field and going to the wrong pocket.
Deletehindi naman wrong field. kasi okay naman talaga maginvest sa football, wrong pocket i agree..
DeleteMahirap makuha ang isang local homegrown player na makalaro sa national team kung hindi ito dumaan sa Global FC. 'Monopolized" is the right word to described palami's handling of Philippine Football domestic or internationally.
ReplyDeleteMag Board of Governors mag revolt naman kayo kung may natitira pang konsensya sa inyo!!!
as usual, ang daming keyboard experts dito. always having an opinion on things na wala namang alam sa mga nangyayari. no wonder this blog has degenarated into a hate campaign against pff or palami instead of giving constructive criticisms that is supposed to help philippine football. pitiful, to say the least.
ReplyDeleteAnonymous30 October 2013 02:19 blogspot ito kaya lahat pwede pag comment dito. Bakit ikat hindi ka ba keyboard expert? Ang alam nyo lng kasi ay ka Palami na side mag research ka para may alam at hindi lahat ng comments dito FYI is destructive criticism meron ding constructive criticism. Opinion ng bawat tawa ang nandito hindi ito hate campaign dahil ang pamagat sa taas ay ang pag bunyi kay Palami at GlobalFC. basahin mo muna at analyse ng konti bago ka mag post ng iyong comments.
ReplyDeleteKung ikaw isa kang matinong license coach at marami ka nang seminars at courses na nasalihan maganda ba sa paninngin mo ang 23-0 ? Mga superstar at foreigners ang pinalaro mo mostly members ng national team against homegrown players na baguhan sa tournament instead na bench ang palalaruin which directly means wlang alam si Palami kung paano ang isang team ma develop at paano ito mag improve.
ReplyDeleteLalaro ba ang CQCU at Global sa PFF Smart Championship....... Ano nagyari sa protesta ng CQCU sa PFF? parang hindi ata matutuloy ang laro nila.
ReplyDeleteI was an applicant at APT, palami's company. I don't think they need Futsal to earn. apt earns billions I guess. For Futsal, I don't think mel macasaquit is even interested. Bahadoran said macasaquit is just there to help. Temporary lang Yata. that doesn't mean he doesn't understand shit about futsal. he knows the sport. last thing i heard, they started doing Futsal clinics for kids with bahadoran in malls. He's more focused on his sports agency that handles a lot of players like schrock, Caligdong and a lot of Pba players. I read from bob Guerrero, he works for an airline as a pilot. The former Futsal manager was essi, the pure Iranian guy who puts only Iranians in the national team. Iran team tayo? who ever takes the position sana naman Pinoy. macasaquit is doing his job. Palami did many things for Philippine football. he never claimed he owns football in the Philippines. he is an asset to this industry.
ReplyDeleteKaya salamat sayo Palami salami! mabuhay ka!
Fuck Global FC. They don't develop football. They buy football. Grabe bumili ng mga players but still... LOOOONG BALLS. Not very nice to watch. Just saying ;)
ReplyDeleteI'm from Manila but i'm a ceres fc fan. Starting to like them since they first appeared on television. Galing! They play real football. Unlike most clubs sa ufl like Global. pfffffffffft
