The delegation left Thursday morning, April 6, to get ready with over 150 players competing girls and boys in the 7–15-year-old divisions.

The participation will mark Makati FC’s seventh year of competing in the Asia’s premier youth football championship.

Makati FC is out to win the overall champion “Paul Parker” Trophy this year for the second time and the first since in 2018.

The JSSL Singapore Professional Academy 7s showcases the young talent of over 450 teams across 17 countries. Among the young athletes competing are talented kids from provinces nationwide who were selected to join the prestigious club to reinforce the teams.

Makati FC has played a very important role in developing young football athletes in Philippines since 1976, as Tomas Lozano, a former Real Madrid FC player, pioneered youth football in the country.
