PFF officials: RP Teams competitive enough
BY CEDELF TUPAS
Officials of the Philippine Football Federation are adamant that the men and women’s football teams earn a place in the RP delegation to the 2007 Southeast Asian Games in Thailand.
Appearing at the PSA Forum in Manila, football officials, led by President Juan Miguel Romualdez, said the teams are strong medal prospects for the biennial meet set this December.
“With the squad that we have, we see no reason why we can’t bring home a medal from the SEA Games, given a chance to join the event,” Marlon Maro, coach of the women’s team that finished fourth in 2005, said.

Bacolod Rep.

In a separate interview, Philippine Sports Commissioner Richie Garcia said there are about 350 athletes who have made the grade for the SEA Games, based on the criteria set by the SEAG task force. Some athletes are still campaigning abroad in a bid to clinch a slot in the biennial meet. |
