The “Teen Azkals” is looking for young talent to join their ranks! The NCR selection will be held on July 7 and 8, 2012 at UP Diliman. Provincial selections will be held on August 4-12, 2012 at San Carlos City, Negros Occidental football grounds.
With the future of Philippine football in their hands – or rather, feet, the Teen Azkals is comprised of members no older than 15 years old. Under the leadership of their head coach Tomasito Glenn Ramos and manager Alvin Carranza, the group has grown to include members from all over the country.
The youth programme is supported by the Phililppine Football Federation (PFF). Founded in 1907, the organization has governed the sport in the Philippines for more than a century.
Thanks to the Philippine Azkals, soccer or “association football” has gained a lot of traction in the Philippines. The existence of the Teen Azkals secure the future of the sport in the country. In time, perhaps the Philippines may win its first FIFA title and join the ranks of the international football elites.
