Defending champion and host Negros Occidental heads the eight-team cast that will vie for the National Men's Open Football Championships slated April 24-29 at the Panaad pitch in Bacolod City.
The other teams that qualified for the tournament are last year's losing finalist National Capital Region, Masbate and Baguio from Luzon and North Cotabato, Cagayan de Oro-Misamis Oriental and Davao from Mindanao.
Powerhouse Iloilo, which was eliminated by Negros in the
semifinals last year, is the other Visayan team in the competition,
after it defeated Cebu and Negros Oriental in the all-Visayas qualifying
stage in Barotac Nuevo over the weekend.
