CFA @Carmeltown Football Cup 2019

I created this video two weeks courtesy of the parents who have been very supportive about CFA's blog. I've been holding back in posting and sharing this video because I wanted to have the official results of the 6th Carmeltown Football Cup.

But I couldn't wait any longer. So here it is, a compilation of photos and videos of the Cavite Football Academy  Teams  for Carmeltown Football Cup:

Rehash: UAAP 81 Football Ateneo Crowned Kings, La Salle Crowned as Queens

Here's a throwback, although it's not Thursday.

In the UAAP Season 81 Women's Football Finals, at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium, De La Salle University completed a three-peat women's football championship with a 2-0 win over Far Eastern University.

It was a battle between the two most winning women's soccer programs, as each university boasted ten women's soccer championships.

In the Men's division, Ateneo de Manila University does a comeback as they defeated De La Salle University 2-1 to reclaim the throne and be the Kings of Football for UAAP Season 81.

What do we know about scholastic football in our country?
