Subic Bay to host Luzon beach football joust

By Carlo Lorenzo J. Datu

SUBIC FREEPORT, April 22 (PIA) -- Hundreds of football players and enthusiasts will troop to Subic Bay on May 12 for the Luzon Beach Soccer Eliminations at the Lighthouse Marina Resort beachfront area.

Eight men's and eight women's team are set to battle it out for the right to represent the island at the National Beach Football title late this year.

"(We have) been organizing the Luzon Beach Football Eliminations in Subic since 2000 and we consider (Subic Bay) our home already," said Beach Football Association of the Philippines secretary-general Rea Villa.

Raul Marcelo, deputy administrator for tourism of the Subic Bay Metropolitan Authority (SBMA) welcomes the decision of the BFAP to hold its tournament in the area.

"Subic Bay is now a top destination for national tournaments. And football, with all its variants namely association football, futsal and beach football, are one of the sports that we want here," Marcelo said.

Supported by the Subic Bay's Lighthouse Marina Resort, the tournament will also feature the Lighthouse Amihan Football Club (LAFC), Subic Bay's official team.

The LAFC copped the silver in the 2011 edition of the tournament, and if at full strength, is expected to do well in the tournament.

"The participants, mostly Manila-based teams, find it convenient to travel to Subic to play beach soccer because of improved roads, secured venue, great shopping outlets and a lot of other activities that they could do after the tournament” Villa shared.

This year, BFAP would adopt the international beach football rules to align the tournament with the international rules and standards.

BFAP was founded by Dr. Ahmed 'Mike" Athab who used to be the University of the Philippines Women's Football Varsity Coach and is the current Beach Football Committee Head of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF).

The Philippines participated in the 2006, 2008 and 2013 World Cup Beach Football Asian Qualifiers and is planning to prepare for the Asian Beach Games 2014 and the next World Cup Qualifier in 2015.

Villa added that BFAP partnered with the Lighthouse Marina Resort because of its excellent facilities and amenities. "Its scenic view and ideal location makes it a perfect place to conduct the tournament Subic," she added.

Aside from the Lighthouse resort, the tournament is supported by Human Nature. (WLB/CLJD-PIA 3)

Mama Sita's reigns in national beach football

Reigning Luzon regional champion Mama Sita’s extended its reign in beach football as it edged recent United Football League (UFL) and NCR champion Philippine Air Force, 3-2, in the national finals at Casa Pilar in Boracay last weekend.

Air Force opened the scoring in the fourth minute courtesy of Winnie Subere but Mama Sita’s Harold Lorenzo quickly retaliated to tie the count.

A penalty kick by Mama Sita’s Vicente Rosell early in the third period made it 2-1 for Mama Sita’s then he followed it up with another goal to give Mama Sita’s a 3-1 lead.

Subere scored another goal to push Air Force within at 2-3 but both teams failed to score in the remaining minutes, enabling Mama Sita’s to take the crown.

“We are happy that beach football is gaining a lot of popularity now and the Philippine Sports Commission will continue to support this sport in whatever way we can,” said PSC commissioner Chito Loyzaga.

The PSC presented the event together with the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) and the BFAP which has recently announced that Lt. Gen Oscar Rabeno (ret.) of the Philippine Air Force is now the honorary chairman of BFAP.

Meanwhile Mayor John Yap, owner of event venue Casa Pilar has offered the resort as a permanent home for beach football in Boracay both for the Visayas regional tournament and the 2012 national championship later this year.

FOUR powerhouse teams representing the country’s different regions see action in the National Beach Football Championship this Saturday in the island paradise of Boracay.

Newly-crowned United Football League champion Philippine Air Force, representing the National Capital Region, leads the cast of competing squads that also include Luzon champion Mama Sita’s FC, The Boracay Dragons, carrying the colors of Visayas; and the Davao All-Stars for Mindanao.

The Jan. 14 event is the culminating tournament of the Beach Football Association of the Philippines’ year-round national series.

The BFAP is also eyeing the Beach Football World Cup qualifying tournament later this year.

"We are confident this event will create a big impact on the sport, one of the fastest-growing in the country now, and to promote further the development of beach football," said Athab in the public service program backed by Smart, Shakey’s, and Pagcor.

He was accompanied by Philippine Football Federation president Nonong Araneta and Philippine Sports Commission marketing chief Albert Almendralejo, who represented Commissioner Chito Loyzaga.

"Through this event, hopefully, we’ll have more players for beach football," added Araneta. "We hope to create more tournaments here in the Philippines, and participate more internationally."

Athab also said the BFAP plans to put up a venue for the sport in Manila and introduce it in the elementary and high school levels.

The PSC, according to Almendralejo, is supporting both the tournament and the national pool for beach football.

"We wholeheartedly support the growth of beach football," he said. "Our athletes have shown remarkable performances in the sport and we’re looking into developing their potential to compete on the international scale."

Medellin to host beach soccer

By Edri K. Aznar


SIX teams from Cebu City will be competing in Mayor Rick’s Invitational Beach Soccer this Saturday at the Kawit Beach in Medellin, an activity that will increase the locals’ awareness of the ever-growing sport of football.

University of San Carlos and Saint Theresa’s College will be fielding two teams each along with San Roque FC, Jivas Regal and Cebu State College of Science and Technology in the one-day beach football tournament.

The event is part of the activities in the town’s fiesta and organizers are hoping that it will also help raise awareness for the sport in the town.

“We are still introducing the football program there,” Joel Deen, one of the organizers, told Sun.Star Cebu yesterday.

The tournament, which will start at 8 a.m., will follow a single round-robin format, wherein the top two teams will battle in the championship round.

Aside from the beach football event, Deen also said the Cebu Football Association will be conducting a seminar for school teachers on May 3. Eleazar Toledo of the CFA will head the seminar targeted for elementary and high school students.

The town has also made a push to increase the popularity of the sport as the town’s mayor, Rick Ramirez, has started building full-sized pitches near schools.
