The first Philippine National League
Philippines is about to make history with the launch of Philippine Football League (PFL) in March or April 2017.
As reported on Philter news on 7th January, nine teams are set to kick start the maiden campaign with Global, Ceres, Stallion, Loyola Meralco Sparks, Kaya, Green Archers United and JP Voltes and (New update) the Davao Aguilar FC.
The excitement is unbelievable! The beauty of having a National League is going viral among the game lovers I have met.
With the League about to kick-start, there are a couple of things that may not be very clear to some club owners, players, and fans.
.There are 9 teams that have shown interest and almost ready to go. Nine is an odd number. Does it mean one team will always have to be on a stand by during match weeks? How will it work?
Will there be second division league as it was in the time of UFL? Some believe to maintain competitiveness in the League second division would be eminent. As clubs are fighting to be champion and to qualify for the AFC competition, the bottom teams should also be fighting to avoid relegation.
Is there salary cap in PFL for local and international players? UFL had problems especially in the 2016 season because of lack of sufficient salary caps that will allow local players in particular to see football as their primary job and stay competitive and focused in the game. Some teams in UFL 2016 abandoned their matches because they found it difficult to make up a team in some occasions as players had to go to their other work and finally dropped out of the league when matches was moved to day time.
Will there be cup competition? It is very important in every country that has a professional league that the cup goes on also during the league season. This gives chances to the non-league clubs or lower division clubs to also participate in the competition with a chance to play against top tier clubs and to expose their players.
How will the youth league look like since we now have a National League? Will it be regional? Will non-league clubs that can fulfill youth team requirements be allowed to participate? What are the age groups that will participate in the PFL youth league?
This new league (PFL} is already having an impact in terms of stadium development and I look forward to seeing more great things that it is going to give to the Philippine football and the value it is going to add to the National team and country in general.
Even if all the questions may not have an answer this season for football enthusiasts, I’m confident that Philippines and (PFF) is in the right path of establishing something great with the introduction of Philippine Football League (PFL).

The English striker Louis Clark announced his transfer from Kaya FC Philippines to Tampines Rovers FC Singapore on Instagram
Louis Clark who has been a great figure in Kaya
FC since joining the club in 2014 from Cobram Victory FC of
Australia took to Instagram to announce his transfer from
Kaya FC to Tampines Rovers FC of Singapore. “Happy to say I will be playing in
Singapore next season with @tampinesroversfc”
Photo credited to Louis
In the post he expressed his joy and excitement
to play in S. League and AFC competitions in the coming season. “- cant wait to
play in the S.League AFC Champions League qualifiers & AFC Cup”
He also expressed his sincere gratitude to Kaya
FC and the fans for the unforgettable experience. “Have to say a huge thank you
to everyone involved with @kayafc for the past 2 years it has been a
unbelievable experience that I will never forget.”
Louis has had a successful spell with Kaya FC winning
the 2015 UFL Cup, Golden Boot with 10 goals in
the 2014 FA League Cup and a successful outing with Kaya FC in their
maiden participation in the AFC Cup.
The forward will surely be missed in Kaya FC not
only as a player but as a coach who was one of the brains behind Kaya Academy
since joining the club in 2014.
With his announcement, Louis has been another
big profile player from the UFL to join S. League following Mark Hartmann transfer from Global FC to Geylang International in June 2016.

Picture credit to Manchester United facebook page!
Three first half goals put Manchester United back into the winning ways with Paul Labile Pogba scoring a stunner while Zlatan Ibrahimovic had a brace in the 3:1 win of Swansea City Football Club in the Premier Leaguer as Jose Mourinho was watching from the stands at the Liberty Stadium!
With performance such as that from #Pogba, there is no doubt why Manchester United paid that much for their man.
Zlatan received his fifth yellow card of the season meaning he will be watching from the stand in the game against Arsenal FC after the international break.
Swansea City struggled to find their feet through out the game but managed to pull one back in the 69th minutes when Sigurdsson delivered a free-kick into the area and Van Der Horn nodded the ball home from 10 yards.

Manchester United beaten 2:1 away to Fenerbahce in the Europa League!
In a match that Manchester United fans were looking for answer to the game against Burnley in the Premier League, United left people with further questions as Wayne Rooney’s late long range thunderbolt strike was not enough to safe United from Moussa Sow’s second-minute overhead kick and a second-half Jeremain Lens free kick that handed the home side a desired 2:1 win.
With all the attacking options in Rashford, Martial, and Rooney capable of running down their opponents on the pitch when at their best, you would have thought there will be many goals but things went wrong early and Manchester United failed.
The best chance for United came in the 21 minutes as Martial found Rooney in the box but his first touch was not good enough to convert the chance and injury rocked the team again with Paul Pogba forced out of the game after a challenge from Josef de Souza in the 29 minutes and was replaced by Ibrahimovic who was left on the bench from the start of the game.
United’s made further attacking changes by bringing in Mata and Henrikh Mkhitaryan but could not create chances to score and it was more difficult to cope at the back with two left-backs playing at centre-back.
Had the Fenerbahce’s Emmanuel Emenike converted his clear chance following his 68th-minute introduction, the score line would have been different but De Gea that was not at his best in the game made his best save of the 90.th minutes.
One thing to take to Manchester in the match is the fact that Wayne Rooney was back on score sheet.
As United continues their struggles to get the right rhythm against a well-organized defense, it has left some people with questions if Manchester United is in crisis? Are they lacking creativity to break tight defense? Or, has the game advanced beyond Mourinho’s Philosophy, tactics and style? These are questions to be answered as the season progresses.
