"Football has truly arrived in the Philippines with the conception of the Football Alliance. By bringing the United Football League — which has been running for the past eight years — to a higher and more professional standard, footballers around the country now have a venue where they can strive to showcase their talent, creativity and skill. With 16 teams, two tightly contested divisions, and glory waiting to be snatched, the UFL is ready to display all the reasons why football is the most widely followed and played sport throughout the world. For those who were privileged enough to catch the inaugural match of the UFL-LBC Cup unfold last year, it is not surprising if this year's opening games draw high expectations and immense anticipation. In the previous two-month-long tournament, where the Philippine Air Force F.C. squad was crowned champion in an all-AFP final, spectators were treated to a plethora of razor-thin matches brimming with passion and teamwork."
