Five years may pass, but the pain of losing Kieth will never fade. Yet through every game, every young athlete, and every dream inspired by football, his legacy continues to live on.

Seeing the 5th Kieth Absalon Friendly Cup featured by FEU Advocate is deeply meaningful for our family. FEU was not just a school to Kieth it was where he grew as an athlete, a leader, and a person.

This tournament is a reminder that Kieth’s story will never be forgotten. His passion, kindness, and love for the game continue to inspire so many young athletes to keep dreaming and keep fighting.

As we bring this tournament to FEU Diliman, we continue to honor his legacy and our advocacy for peace, justice, and hope through sports.

Thank you to everyone who continues to remember Kieth Absalon. His life may have been taken too soon, but his impact will live on forever.

For the past four years, the Kieth Absalon Friendly Cup has been held in Masbate — Kieth’s hometown. Ahead of its fifth edition on June 27 to 28, the movement will grace the FEU-D pitch for the first time, paying homage to the late Tamaraw booter and his second home.
