Let's play Futsal!!!
THE Cebu football family just got a bit bigger with its newest member, the Metrosports Badminton Club.
You read it right, one of the city’s biggest Badminton Club wants to diversify its sports and is planning to offer futsal or indoor football.
According to Cebu Football Association (CebuFA) President Jonathan Maximo, he was contacted by Chip Tolentino of MBC regarding their plans to offer futsal.
“I told them that there are a lot of players who are very eager to play,” Maximo said.
Maximo was also consulted by the company regarding the dimensions of a futsal court and how to put up the lines.
“I just gave them dimensions and how to put the line according to Fifa standards,” said Maximo, who went to MBC to oversee the painting of the court.
Maximo and Metrosports is also planning a one day tournament for kids and media in July 30 to introduce the sport.
“We can’t include the adults yet because they are apprehensive about the lights getting hit though they are planning to put screens on them,” he said.
Meanwhile Bright Academy coach Eleazar Toledo welcomed the move of Metrosports and is willing to field a team if they organize a tournament.
“Basta di lang kaayo mahal,” he said.
That sentiment is also echoed by Maximo, “I told them not to put up rates like in Manila where they play P1,500 per hour,”
