🏆 CHAMPIONS. THIRD RUNNER-UP. AND A TICKET TO BALI. 🇵🇭🇮🇩
What a weekend for CIFA! 💙⚽
The CIFA U17 squad battled their way to the CHAMPIONSHIP, while our CIFA U14 team finished a strong 3rd Runner-Up at the New Clark City Football Festival, held last August 29–30 at NCC, Capas, Tarlac.
But behind these medals are stories that don't always make it to the final score.
The weekend was anything but easy.
With the southwest monsoon (Habagat) bringing heavy rains, our players, coaches, and families still made the commitment to be there. Wet fields, pouring rain, difficult travel, tired bodies — none of it made the decision to play any easier.
Yet they showed up.
Parents made the trip. Coaches stood on the sidelines. Players put on their boots and stepped onto the field, despite the weather.
Because sometimes, commitment means showing up when conditions aren't perfect.
And that's what makes this achievement even more meaningful.
Every sprint, every tackle, every save, every goal, every instruction from the sidelines — all of it was backed by the sacrifices made by the people who believe in these young players.
And now, the hard work has opened another door.
