Team Socceroo Football Club (TSFC) was a professional football club based in Metro Manila, Philippines. It first joined the United Football League as Team Socceroo through its second division in 2012. From the 2014-2015 season, the TSFC played in the Division 1 of the United Football League, the country's top premiere football league after topping Division 2 in the 2013 season.
In 2015, it changed its name into Sigla F.C. and was to play at the UFL under the new name starting the 2016 season but ultimately withdrew from the league.
History
Foundation and early years
It was founded by the Reyes brothers led by Wool Reyes. These brothers formed a team together with their friends and old teammates from PAREF Southridge School to continue playing the beloved game they were deeply passionate about. Since then, the team has been joining football tournaments and festivals.
Wool Reyes (deceased[1] ) played for and helped found the club in 2005 with some friends.
The TSFC later opened its first football camp. In 2010, TSFC Camp was launched at Corinthian’s Village football field in Quezon City. After a successful football camp, on the following year, TSFC opened two more football camps in San Lorenzo Village football field in Makati City and Tahanan Village football field in Parañaque. TSFC plans to open more football camps around Metro Manila.
United Football League
In the third quarter of 2011, TSFC competed in the United Football League (UFL) Cup and finished 12th out of 28 teams. With an impressive performance in the UFL Cup, good team management, and being one of the few football clubs with many supporters, TSFC earned a spot in the 2nd Division of the United Football League, the country's top premier football league.
In 2015, the name of the club was changed to Sigla Football Club, the name which the club was supposed to compete under for the 2016 United Football League.
