NOFA Luzon Cup sa Tarlac “Football para sa lahat”

Labing-anim na koponan kabilang na ang Mindanao champion Bukidnon Football Association ang lalarga sa 1st Negros Occidental Football Association (NOFA) Luzon Cup sa Nob. 21-24 sa Jose V. Yap Sports and Recreational Park sa San Jose, Tarlac. Sinuportahan ng Philippine Sports Commission (PSC) ang programa ng Negros Occidental Football Association (NOFA) at ang Central Luzon Football Association (CLFA) upang maidaos ang Luzon Cup, ang football tournament para sa batang Under-12 years old.

Bilang guest of honor sa paglulunsad ng event, sinabi ni PSC Chair Ramirez na siyento porsiyento ang suporta ng sports associations sa mga events at activities para sa ikauunlad ng sports lalo na sa naturang rehiyon. Nanawagan din si Ramirez sa mga pribadong sektor na tulungan at i-promote ang programa ng mga bata sa naturang sports.

Tatawaging ‘Football Para sa Lahat” ang event, ayon kay NOFA President Ricky Yanson katuwang ang iba pang football associations para mapaunlad ang toneo ng mga batang footballers na hinugot mula sa iba’t ibang panig ng bansa. “Our dream, through ‘Football Para sa Lahat’ is to support more tournaments and activities for all age groups,” ani Yanson.

“Unlike in Negros Occidental, football is not marketed enough in Luzon; that is what we want to address with the help of NOFA and our other partners.... With the Luzon Cup, we hope to extend the love for football and development opportunities for students in both the private and public schools,” ayon kay Central Luzon FA Secgen. Ed Flaminiano na palalakasin din ang football sa Gitnang Luzon.“NOFA is known to have organized games, to produce excellent players who have represented the country in international competions. CLFA is fortunate is to have been selected as one of the recipients of NOFA’s program,” ayon kay Flaminiano.
