UFL teams disperse to provinces to form PH Football League

By Jack Biantan


THE much awaited Philippines Football League (PFL) is now starting to form as teams from the United Football League (UFL) have started to adopt cities where they could be based.
Although the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has not confirmed anything yet, my sources have confirmed that top teams, Global FC, Loyola Meralco Sparks, Ceres FC and Stallions FC have already found cities to host them.
Global FC is reportedly going to make Cebu as its home city. Global FC owner Dan Palami, and Cebu Football Association president and construction magnate Ricky Dakay are joining forces to form a super team for Cebu. Newly appointed coach John Burridge has even gone to Cebu to check their official home field, the University of San Carlos stadium in Talamban and the Cebu City Sports Center.
The Loyola Meralco Sparks FC is reportedly making Taguig City as their home city and the Emperador Stadium in Mckinley Hill, at the The Fort as their home field. The LMSFC is the glamour club in the UFL having the Younghusband brothers James and Phil in its line-up.
The Bacolod based Ceres FC of the Yanson family is reportedly moving to Davao City but Bacolod City will not be left without a club as one of the Yanson brothers is building another club to represent Bacolod City or the Island of Negros.
The Stallions FC of Ernie Nierras is also reportedly joining the PFL and have arranged to make Binan Laguna as their home town. Binan has a first class football stadium and the Stallions have already started using the stadium as their practice venue.
Cagayan de Oro is one of the cities mentioned in the Nielsen Company study where a possible PFL team could be located. However, no CdO teams or clubs have been formed as of the moment.
Among the factors considered are existing infrastructures, accessibility, capacity of fans to pay, the existence of sponsors, and fan appreciation of the sport.
Cities considered to host a PFL team are Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Marikina, Sta. Maria Bulacan, Bocaue Bulacan, Laguna, Cebu City, Bacolod City, Iloilo City, Davao City, Cagayan de Oro City, and Zamboanga City.
The PFF is targeting six teams in the first season of the PFL and five clubs from Davao, Bacolod, Cebu, Bacolod, Binan are already getting ready to join. How about Kaya FC, Globe Green Archers FC, Pasargad FC and Laos FC? Are they jumping ship too?

      Stallions laguna na. Iloilo may bago team si robles at araneta na puro ilonggo players. Humahanap lang sila partners tulad ng Ceres at Global na lumipat at nakipagugnay sa Davao at Cebu kahit taga Negris at Leyte sila. Abangan.

      Ano naman po ang masama sa grassroots program ng Iloilo FA? Iba po direction namin kumpara sa iba. Bilang board of directors nagpapasalamat kami kay jr robles sa lahat ng mga tournament at courses na binigay niya galing sa sariling bulsa.

    i wonder why Kaya won't just get Cubao as their home. there should be at least 1 field near the area? they can be the Cubao Kaya FC. the ultras can chant like this:

    "Puso ko'y nakalaan sa banderang itim at dilaw...
    Kaaaaayah! Kaaaaayah!
    Nandito sa Kubaw"

    :D :D :D

    PFL is coming.I hope ilocos to field their own club. May bagong stadium sila na jampacked ang crowd na nag support sa azkals friendly vs visiting A-league club at ilokanos full support sa futbol unlike anti Lnb burial black protestors na instead na nasa bulacan ay nasa kalye ng NCR bukas.

    Bakit kaya pupunta ng DAvao ang CeresFC? Yung logo nila nakita ko is Ceres Negros FC ang nakalagay, parang may hindi tama kasi sa Negros talaga nagsimula ang Ceres name na yan at taga doon ang may ari.

    Ugh really?! Loyola get the Fort? Then I hope Kaya get RMS because they have to stay in Metro Manila! Anywhere else would be a betrayal to their fans!

    It's already bad enough that Ceres is moving to Davao although they have a good stadium and fanbase in Bacolod.

      Loyola should stay in QC (although stadium wise, that might be an issue). And it should be Kaya in Taguig or Makati.

      If the archers enter, they'll most likely get the RMS. It would only make sense. Although simple logic never seems to be applied locally and that now is true with the national league if these reports are true.

    Sino naman gaganahan sumali sa paligang ito? Laki ng gastos sa mga teams. Wala naman nanunuod sa tv at sa stadium dito sa manila. Nilampasan n ng volleyball ang football. Bulok kasi mga nagpapatakbo ng football dito sa atin. Media puro sipsip pa kay palami. Kaya wala improvement kasi wala nag criticize.
