Team Philippines Holds Out

With the latest draw against Syria, the Azkals of the Team Philippines hold on to second place in the group. National Coach Taka has expressed some disappointment with the recent result but he still enjoys both the confidence and support of the country's managers. As the remaining matches play out, we hope to see the National Team earn a spot in the next stage of the road to the World Cup, whether as outright group leaders, should Oman falter, or as one of the top second places finishers (after a playoff with similarly placed nations from different groups).



We hope and we toil, that is the best we can do.

Who's It Going To Be?

With the first official international matches already scheduled for this Saturday, the search for the next National Coach for Team Philippines intensifies!


As of press time, only one nominee has accepted and affirmed his candidacy, Taka of Green Archers. MAAP, Iloilo Hellcats and Iloilo YodePuga FC have also been nominated but have not confirmed yet (reports have stated that Iloilo YodePuga FC is currently in Boracay! ). Binmaley Fisher, former and best performing NC responsible for the 3rd place FITA World Cup finish of the National Team back in Season 6, has also expressed his intention to run for NC.

Things are definitely getting more interesting as whoever takes on the job has a very short time to prepare for the NTQ match against Syria on Sunday (Saturday, Manila Time). Judging from the quality of the nominees (who all come from the First Division, Ang Liga), we have definitely better than good chances this season! We will keep you updated as new reports come in.

New Philippine Team Coach

With current National Coach (NC), Josh of Blue Wave FC, set on laying down the manager's clipboard for the National Team (NT)this season, the search for the new grand architect for Team Philippines has recently started. It really came as no surprise since Josh had expressed his intentions earlier but the recent season start up may have delayed this much needed process as Philippine managers tweaked stadium facilities to accommodate increased fan bases.
Earlier on, Kimberly Federico of MAAP had suggested that Taka of Green Archers, newcomer to the Philippine League's first division, Ang Liga, might be a potential candidate. No comment was released by Taka, however. A second possible candidate may be RBD of Ang Liga powerhouse Iloilo YodePuga FC, as JC Rosario of Binmaley Fisher mentioned recently. As of press time today, no response from RBD was available yet.

As nobody has concretely stated their plans to run for NC, it seems that the search must continue. It's arguably a difficult role to fulfill but one that represents both national pride and personal achievement for the brave soul willing to take on the challenge. More news as they become available.
