FAR Eastern University looks to continue its fine run, while Ateneo tries to do better after being held to a scoreless draw as the Tamaraws and Blue Booters collide on Wednesday in the UAAP Season 77 men's football tournament at the FEU Diliman pitch. Kickoff is at 3 p.m. National University and La Salle collide in the curtain raiser at 1 p.m., with the winner staying in the Top Four. Both matches will be aired live on ABS-CBN Sports+Action Channel 23. The UP Fighting Maroons have 13 points, two clear of Ateneo. FEU is level with the NU Bulldogs in third spot with 10 points, although the Tamaraws are ahead on goal difference. In the season’s most lopsided match, FEU whipped Adamson University, 9-1, on Sunday, with Eric Giganto, back from a one-match ban, drilling in four goals to hike his league-best total to eight. On the same day, the Eagles battled to a goalless draw with fierce rival Green Booters as they failed to join UP for the lead. Aside from Giganto, the back-to-back seeking Tamaraws have been solid this season behind reigning MVP Paolo Bugas, Nicolas Ferrer, Arnel Amita and Jess Melliza. Carlo Liay's return from injury last season has boosted Ateneo, which won the championship in 2013, and coach JP Merida is also drawing big games from Emilio Acosta, Julian Roxas, Jin Daniel Montemayor and Jeremiah Rocha. With Sunday’s 3-1 win over University of Santo Tomas, NU moved a point ahead of La Salle, which is running fifth with nine points. Paolo Salenga, who netted four goals this season, will be the main man for the Bulldogs, while the Green Booters will bank on ace striker Gelo Diamante.

Azkals open year with China ‘friendly’
By Cedelf P. Tupas
The Philippine Azkals return to action in March during the year’s first Fifa international window with a showdown with China lined up.
Philippine Football Federation general secretary Ed Gastanes confirmed that China has invited the Azkals for a friendly although the venue has yet to be decided.
Gastanes, who along with PFF president Nonong Araneta attended the Asian Football Confederation Congress in Sydney last week, said the PFF is pushing for a March 25 game with the Chinese.
“It could be in Beijing or Shanghai,” Gastanes said of the match which would mark the first time the two countries will meet in recent years.
The PFF official said they are still hoping to schedule another match for the Azkals after the duel with China, which is currently in action in the AFC Asian Cup in Australia.
The Azkals missed out on the Asian Cup after losing to Palestine in the AFC Challenge Cup finals last year in the Maldives before posting another semifinal finish in the AFF Suzuki Cup in December.
It will be another busy year for the Azkals as they also start their 2018 World Cup Qualifying campaign in June, the same month the Under-23 team participates in the Southeast Asian Games in Singapore.

Azkals expect busy year with WC qualifier
By Olmin Leyba
MANILA, Philippines - Philippine Azkals coach Thomas Dooley looks forward to staying at the helm and calling the shots for the Pinoy booters as they set forth to bigger battles this year, particularly the all-important 2018 Fifa World Cup Asian qualifiers.
“The whole year will be very exciting and very important for us because of the World Cup qualification (tournament),” Dooley, who has agreed to a two-year extension with the Azkals, said in the radio program “The Football Connection” on dzSR over the weekend.
The Azkals will compete in the second round of this year’s Asian qualifiers, where eight groups of five nations each will play round-robin, home-and-away matches. The group winners and the four best second-placers will advance to the next year’s third round along the higher-seeded nations.
“We’ll have eight games and we have to finish first or second in our group to continue (to the next round of the qualifiers) and that’s the key for us this year,” said Dooley, who steered Phl XI to a runner-up finish in the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup and a third semifinal stint in the Asean Football Federation Suzuki Cup on his first year at the helm in 2014.
The draw for the World Cup qualifiers will be held in April with the first set of second-round matches slated June 11 and 16. Succeeding pairs of matches will be staged September, October and November.
Phl XI is guaranteed four home matches in this campaign and Dooley hopes more Pinoy crowd support will come in.
“We hope fans will go to see the games live. It (crowd support) is very important in football. You could see the difference when we played in Thailand (Suzuki Cup semis). In two days, they actually sold out 60,000 tickets and that made it very, very difficult for us to play there. When we had our semifinal at home and we played in front of 7,000, there’s no pressure for them,” said Dooley.

UFL: Football Never Stops!
By Michael Angelo S. Murillo
STARTING OUT as a semi-professional tournament in 2009, the United Football League (UFL) evolved into a thriving league in five years and has since become part and parcel of why the sport of football is now better appreciated in the country. -
A league based in the National Capital Region and governed by the Football Alliance and the United Football Clubs Association, the UFL has become the premier football league in the Philippines in such short a time, with proponents and observers expecting better things yet to come.
Aimed at reviving, and eventually sustaining, the Filipinos’ interest in football, the UFL has two divisions -- Division 1 and 2.
The league operates on a system of promotion and relegation instituted only in 2013. Under the system, the top two teams from Division 2 have a chance of being promoted to Division 1, relegating the bottom two for the latter division.
Currently, the league has 10 Division 1 teams and 11 in Division 2.
Division 1 teams are Global FC, Loyola Meralco Sparks, Kaya FC, Stallion FC, Green Archers United FC, Pachanga Diliman FC, Philippine Army-GTI FC, Team Socceroo, Ceres-La Salle, and Manila Jeepney FC -- the latter two being newly promoted teams.
Through the years, the UFL has introduced new formats, schedules, and tournaments to make the league fresh as well as to keep development of football in the country going.
“The UFL wants to make sure that we provide our clubs with quality tournaments the whole year round. As we proudly say it here in the UFL: ‘Football Never Stops!’” Rely San Agustin, UFL general manager, said in an e-mail interview with BusinessWorld.
BUSY YEAR
Mr. San Agustin said the year 2014 has been a busy one for the UFL, highlighted by a packed schedule for the season.
“It was a very busy year for the league. We staged four tournaments in 2014. We had the 1. UFL League. 2. UFL Youth League. 3. FA Charity Cup and 4. FA League Cup. You can even add in the UFL Cup which was held during the latter part of 2013,” he said.
The UFL League kicked things off in January with nine teams in Division 1 and 12 teams in Division 2.
The tournament saw Global FC, Loyola, and Kaya FC tightly contesting the title. In the end, however, it was Global who emerged victorious as it defeated Loyola in the finals.
Global’s title conquest leveled it with Philippine Air Force (now playing in Division 2) with two league titles so far. Stallion has one under its belt.
Ceres, meanwhile, bagged the title in Division 2.
Global continued its top form in the FA Charity Cup, the annual knockout competition of the league, in July, as it defeated Kaya FC, 3-1.
In the first-ever FA League Cup, which took place from September to November, Global barged anew to the finals but was stopped by the newly promoted Ceres-La Salle FC in the finals, 2-1.
The UFL Youth League, meanwhile, is the league’s way of “hitting all levels of the football spectrum,” Mr. San Agustin said.
The tournament, which took place from April to June, featured boys under-9 (Xavier School FC -- Champion), under-11 (Loyola Meralco Sparks A), under-13 (Pachanga Diliman B), under-15 (Agila MSA), under-17 (Kaya FC), and under-19 (Pachanga Diliman) divisions.
Under-17 girls champion is Green Archers United.
Given the kind of year the league has had in 2014, Mr. San Agustin could not help but be amazed at how far the UFL has gone since opening shop half a decade ago.
“It has gone a long way indeed. From playing in small venues and even school fields, the league has now established itself as the current premier football league in the Philippines,” he said.
“The quality of football has risen to a whole new level. Foreign players are now bringing their talents to Manila. The competition has become more intense. Participating clubs are now operating like real professional clubs. Our local players are playing now at top level. The UFL has contributed in part to this development. We created the possibility and here we are today,” Mr. San Agustin, himself a former UFL player, added.
And the “high level of play” in the league right now also stands out for Ryan Fenix, InterAKTV’s resident football analyst who has been covering the UFL.
“The quality of play in the league has also risen. There was a time when weekend warriors could play in Division 1. Nowadays, it is extremely difficult for those not full-time players, or at least those who don’t train four times a week, to make the grade in Division 1,” Mr. Fenix said in a separate interview with BusinessWorld.
He also highlighted the league’s major television deal with AKTV/TV5 in 2011 -- reportedly valued at P150 million spread over five years -- as a major accomplishment for the UFL, since it “has given the league more exposure to not just the watching audience but also nationwide.”
MOVER
But apart from developing its knees as a league and building its brand, the UFL has become a steady partner in the renewed development of football in the country, which was for the longest time overshadowed by basketball, the most popular sport in the Philippines.
“The UFL provides all aspiring football players in the country a chance to fulfill their dreams of playing professional football. Just as basketball has the Philippine Basketball Association, Philippine football now has the UFL,” Mr. San Agustin said.
He added, “Gone are the days that a player’s career ends with college football. Now, there is a continuation of this path to footballing greatness. To play at a professional club level and opening doors to achieve national team status.”
Mr. Fenix agreed, saying “The UFL has given young players a platform to pursue their footballing dreams after graduation. It may not yet be able to match the salaries of those in the PBA, but it is growing year on year.”
He also emphasized that it is not only the players who are benefiting from the UFL but other people in the local football community as well.
“You have to throw in the people around football as well -- referees, match commissioners, ball kids, and staff from TV,” Mr. Fenix said.
“The UFL is a blessing also to Philippine football because it gave rise to a league in Metro Manila where players can play,” Edwin B. Gastanes, general secretary of the Philippine Football Federation, said in an interview with BusinessWorld.
“It’s not the national league but it has a character of having teams and clubs coming from all over nationwide. It’s the top league we have right now,” added Mr. Gastanes, who reiterated the local federation’s support for the league.
The UFL has also been partly credited for the success of the Philippine men’s national football team, or the “Azkals,” which is ranked 128th in the world, the highest-ranked team in Southeast Asia.
And this is something the UFL is proud of, Mr. San Agustin said.
“If you are to look at the current national team lineup, [as an] example in the [recent] ASEAN Football Federation Suzuki Cup, 18 out of the 21 players [came] from the UFL. This is a big achievement for the organization. We can proudly say that the UFL has provided our players the highest level of competition in order for them to compete internationally. And we will make sure that we continue to live up to this vision,” he said.
Grand plans are in store for the UFL in 2015, Mr. San Agustin said, including taking the games to the provinces.
“We are now in the works of staging our first UFL match in the province.
We will also be staging a UFL All-Star weekend in May. Even an Iloilo-Negros Occidental All-Star match is brewing. 2015 promises to be an exciting season…” he said.
Mr. Fenix also trumpeted a bullish tone for the UFL moving forward, saying, “… [If] handled and marketed properly, the UFL can reach the popularity of other sports. Better attendance and awareness from the public are certainly things I would like to see.”
And as much as things are looking for the UFL, the same goes for Philippine football, according to Mr. San Agustin.
“We will continue to rise in the Asian ranks for sure. Our local players will continue to excel and more kids will be playing football. And the UFL will be here to support them all the way,” he said. -

PFF draws tough buildup for SEAG-bound Azkals U-22
MANILA, Philippines - After missing the action in the last Southeast Asian Games, the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) said it is prepared to send a “competitive team” to this year’s SEAG in Singapore.
PFF president Nonong Araneta said a training program for the Under-22 team is being lined up in the buildup for the June 5-16 SEA Games.
“Our U-22 team will first compete in the AFC U-23 Championship qualification this March and then naka-set na ang training (training has been set) because this will hopefully, if we’re allowed to join the SEA Games, will be the same team we’ll send to the SEA Games,” Araneta said in the TV program “The Score” on ABS-CBN Sports+Action.
He stressed that the federation is serious in sending the U-22 side, which is expected to be bannered by Azkals stalwarts who meet the age limit of 23, like Amani Aguinaldo and Daisuke Sato.
“If we prepare right, we’ll have a competitive team. I can’t promise the gold medal but I promise that I will prepare them the best way I can. We should consider that,” he said.
The PFF couldn’t field an entry in the 2013 edition of the SEAG after failing to get the go-signal from the Philippine Olympic Committee.
For the Singapore joust, however, the Olympic body is more receptive to the PFF’s bid to enter the competition.
“Gusto namin sila isama. Maganda ang showing nila ngayon (We want football in the Philippine delegation, they have a good record now),” chef de mission Julian Camacho told The STAR.
Araneta said participating in the biennial SEA Games is part of long-term efforts to gear up the youngsters for bigger tournaments in the future.
“We’re already exposing them because they need exposure. Take for example Thailand that won the Suzuki Cup. This was their team for the SEA Games. In-expose na nila sa (they sent them first to the) SEA Games (2013), lumaban sila sa (then they competed in the) Asian Cup (qualifiers) before they went to the Suzuki Cup,” Araneta said. – Olmin Leyba
“Actually, iyung pag-join namn is not just to win, but you have to have something in the end in mind; ano ba ng gusto natin (What do we target in the end)? We just don’t join the SEA Games just to get the gold medal but also for exposure of the team (for future competitions like what Thailand is doing),” he added.
