THE biggest football tournament in Cebu, the 16th Aboitiz Football Cup, 
won’t be kicking off this Sunday.

“The opening ceremony of the 16th Aboitiz Football Cup originally 
scheduled for Nov. 10  will be moved to a later date. 
This was the consensus reached by the Aboitiz Foundation 

and the Cebu Football Association (CFA) in view of the ongoing relief
 operations for the earthquake victims of Bohol and Cebu. 
The Aboitiz Foundation is involved in relief operations 

and the CFA supports the drive to help the victims recover quickly,” 
wrote CFA in an official statement yesterday.

“Both the Aboitiz Foundation and CFA deem it proper that out 
of delicadeza and the 

need to provide assistance to Bohol, the date of the opening of 
Cebu’s premier football tournament be moved. The new date will be
 announced next week.”

A total of 154 teams, clubs and schools have signed up in 14 different 
divisions for 

the annual football meet.

One of the highlights of the opening match this Sunday was 
supposed to be the exhibition match between elite United Football 
League clubs—Loyola Meralco Sparks FC and Green 
Archers United FC

Azkals included by mistake

By Peter Atencio

Because of a snafu in communication between the two countries, organizers in Myanmar have included the Philippine Azkals’ under-23 men’s football team in the draw of lots of the 27th Southeast Asian Games men’s football tournament.

Chef de mission Jeff Tamayo said this after finding out about the results of the draw in Naypyitaw.

The inclusion of the Philippines in the draw has generated varied reactions from fans online and through social media and twitter.

“Nag-update na kami sa kanila na hindi kasali ang Philippines sa men’s football. But, their response has been slow when it comes to integrating information from participating countries,” remarked Tamayo.

The Azkals have been drawn with defending champions Malaysia in Group A. Also in the same bracket are Vietnam, Brunei and Laos

But according to organizers in a report published in Goal.com, the Azkals have been included in the initial list of participants by number.

Host Myanmar has been drawn into Group ,B together with Thailand, Indonesia, Timor Leste and Cambodia.

Philippine Football Federation president Mariano “Nonong” Araneta learned of the draw and the confusion regarding the Azkals’ non-participation yesterday.

Philippine Air force walked out of its United Football Cup match against Stallion Sta. Lucia on Tuesday night at the Emperador Stadium.

Air Force abandoned the match at the 36th minute after four of its players were each slapped with a red card after an altercation at the 21st minute. Stallion also had one player ejected from the match with a red card.

With the development, Stallion earned its third victory to lead Group C with nine points, formalizing its entry into the knockout stages. Air Force also made it to the next round after finishing third in the bracket with six points.

In the other Group C match, Agila FC edged Cebu Queen City United with a 1-nil victory.

Wanyou Vagbe scored at the ninth minute to give Agila its lone goal of the match. The squad still has a chance of making it to the next round if it becomes the best fourth-placed squad among the groups.

Only the top three teams from each group earn automatic tickets to the Round of 16.

The loss put Cebu Queen City behind Stallion in the group with seven points.
