Protest stops new CFA board from taking post


(This report by Cheska D. Geli came out in Sun.Star Cebu on June 3)
THE newly-elected officers of the Cebu Football Association (CFA) will still have to wait before they officially start their term of office.


An election protest was submitted to the Philippine Football Federation (PFF), forcing the national governing body for football to hold the recognition of the new set of officers.



PFF said in its communication letter to the CFA dated May 28 that they are forced to refer the matter to the membership committee headed by Atty. Anlu Carpio and legal committee head Atty. Edwin Gastanes.


PFF however, did not specify the basis of the protest other than it is “election-related” and also did not mention who filed the protest.


The letter became PFF’s reply after the CFA board sent them the list of the newly-elected board of directors.


“Tungod ani kay dili pa mi ma-recognize. Gusto na unta mi mag turnover to check the financial aspect of the organization,” Glen Quisido.


“For now, we have to wait for the findings of the PFF committee regarding the election,” said Quisido.


But while waiting for the decision, they will continue to plan for their upcoming projects.


As of now, the new board is working on their plan to host a UFL match and an exhibition game against European teams.


"Pero gusto jud namo na kaning activities kay naay blessings sa PFF," said Quisido.

The failed U23 experiment

THE only positive thing that we can take in that loss against Timor Leste was that the U23 squad looked good in blue. And Ebong, too. The Blue-Haired fanatic whose voice we all heard on TV was fantastic. The team? The result? To be perfectly blunt it was a scrappy game from a scrappy team that seemed to treat the SEAG as a vacation, or a chance to gain more Twitter followers. (Yey, I can tweet the team apology first!) Going into the match, almost every fan who paid attention knew that we needed to win. Unfortunately, it seemed the players were operating on a different mindset.

A Pinoy played for Real Madrid? (updated)

Image
HERE'S an interesting photo submitted by Asian Football Confederation women's committee member Cristina Ramos. Its taken at the Santiago Bernabeu Stadium and shows a gallery of the great players who played for Real Madrid. And guess where one of them is from? Jaron Genota said the only information he has managed to gather is that the player's name is Teus. I hope to get more information on this guy in the next few months. Ms. Ramos, who was also in the organizing committee of the Fifa U17 and U20 women's world cup, said the picture was part of Real Madrid's exhibit on the universality of their players. From Ms. Ramos, "Mike, the photo of the Filipino player was part of the display entitled "The Universality of our Players" in the Real Madrid museum in Bernabeu. It's funny that they acknowledged him but did not name him. Only those from countries which participated in the World Cup were named."
