From: Karlo Sacamos
THE grand plan to form a national football league in the country has started rolling as the Philippine Football Federation has finally issued the requirements for applicants to be eligible to join.
The PFF on Tuesday briefed prospective clubs and owners on the club licensing regulations that have been crafted, signaling the start of acceptance of applicants for the premier league, set to be known as the Philippines Football League that’s expected to kick off in the middle of March.
The regulations, crafted with the help of Fifa (International Football Federation) and AFC (Asian Football Confederation), and approved by the PFF board of governors, enumerate the sporting, financial, legal, infrastructure, and the personnel and the administrative criteria required to take part in the league.
“The most important thing is we should know the clubs that can comply with the club licensing regulations even if it’s just seventy percent of the licensing regulations that can form part of the league later on,” PFF president Nonong Araneta said in the press conference after the briefing.
AFC regulations require a minimum of six clubs for a competition to run and be qualified as a national league.
The PFF explained to potential club owners the Fifa, AFC, and PFF-commissioned Nielsen marketing study that identified 14 cities as home bases for teams, namely: Manila, Makati, Quezon City, Marikina, Pampanga, Sta. Maria, Bulacan, and Laguna from Luzon; Cebu, Bacolod, and Iloilo from Visayas, Davao, Cagayan de Oro, and Zamboanga in Mindanao.
