CebuFA plans local football show
IF PLANS push through, Cebuanos may have something the rest of the country doesn't - a football show.
The Cebu Football Association is planning to put up a football show in the city together with Dexter Araquel, a producer of the only football show in the country, "Soccer Showdown," which closed down a few months ago.
"We are planning to put it up within this year so we can feature our local tournaments and players," CebuFA president Jonathan Maximo said.
Maximo is currently canvassing at the local channels on how much it would cost to air a weekly one-hour show. According to Maximo, the CebuFA will provide the technical management and tournaments while Araquel will provide the production outfit.
"Hopefully, it will materialize and we could get sponsors for the show," Maximo said.
The soccer show would be the next big step for the CebuFA as it brings football to one of the bigger stage - broadcast media - and they can now attract more sponsors.
"We can also feature our coming league, not just the highlights but we could also have player interviews and statistics," Maximo said.
The proposed football show is just the latest in a string of good news for local football fans.
Aside from the coming Aboitiz Men's League, which will have two divisions, Cebu has also been chosen to host one of three Center For Football Excellence in the country, headed by noted coach Mario Ceniza.
The CebuFA is also planning to bid for the hosting rights of the Asean Football Federation Youth Football Festival in the middle of next year.
