NCRFA's summer youth football tiff kicks off

MANILA, Philippines – The National Capital Region Football Association (NCRFA) has launched its Summer Youth League at the British School Manila over the weekend.

Now on its third year, the tournament will host 2,000 players from various football clubs all over Metro Manila. Teams from Rizal, Olongapo, Tanauan, Laguna and some other provincial teams have been invited as well.

With the support of Makati Football Club, NCRFA is able to build a youth tournament that is for all the kids, giving everyone a chance to play as well as to promote the game.

“It is essential for the NCRFA youth football league that team registration goes for free unlike other leagues who charge a premium, so it won’t exclude any child or team from joining,” said SeLu Lozano, Makati Football Club CEO and NCRFA summer youth league founder and organizer.

All uniforms are provided for all players and officials while food will be given every match day.

The tournament has a noble cause, as the league will collect football shoes to donate to the kids who are not fortunate enough to have the right gears for football. 

Over 2,000 kids have benefitted from this effort of creating a very inclusive tournament, with different stake holders and parents rallying together for the love of the game.
