Mizuno holds two-day tourney in Ayala
CEBU football just got another backer--sports apparel giant Mizuno.
The Japanese company, through its exclusive distributor Mint Sports Shop, will organize the two-day Mizuno Football Fiesta Cebu at the Sacred Heart School-Jesuit field in Ayala on Aug. 26 and 27.
Interested teams may contact Melissa or Dickson at 346-3967 between 10 a.m. to 9 p.m. during Mondays to Thursdays and between 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. the rest of the week.
They will hold competition for the Players 6 up to the Men's 36-above age groups and will also not charge any registration fee for the public schools.
"This is our way of keeping kids off the streets," said Mint Sports' Dr. Wendell Villacin during yesterday's press conference at their shop at the Banilad Town Center.
Tournament director Neil Montesclaros expects at least 60 teams to sign up for the event, which charges P500 registration fee for the P6 to the Boys 17 and P1000 for the Men's and Women's Open.
Aside from traditional youth powerhouses Paref-Springdale, Don Bosco College and Cebu International School, the organizers have also invited teams outside Cebu to join the event.
"The Manila United Football Club will be coming over and there is also a team from Tanjay," said Villacin.
Some 10 teams from Paref Springdale will also be fielded in the event, while the parents of the players will not be left behind as they will be playing for the Dads United team.
The Mizuno football festival will be the third tournament this August in Cebu after the Aboitiz Boys 18 Under Cup and the San Roque Football Fiesta.
