2 teams to join PFL

Two new teams are on the verge of joining the Philippine Football League (PFL) in its fifth season in May.

PFL commissioner Coco Torre confirmed that Loyola FC and Laos FC are currently in the process of working on their license to operate as a team and compete in the country’s top-flight football league this year.

“Two teams have already sent their letter of intention — Loyola and Laos. Actually, Laos is already fixing its licensure requirements,” Torre said.

“We have also scheduled a meeting with Loyola next week. Of course, we want to have a longer commitment.”

Loyola FC is no longer considered as a new face in the local circuit after competing in the United Football League (UFL) in the past.

In fact, it is one of the founding clubs of the PFL in 2017, but left the league the following year.

Laos FC, on the other hand, is also no stranger to local football as it saw action in the UFL Division 2 in 2015.

But due to the success of the bubble season at the Philippine Football Center in Carmona, Cavite last October, the league drew significant attention from sponsors and potential team owners.

Last year, the PFL welcomed the application of Maharlika Manila FC of former national team star Anton del Rosario as well as the Azkals Development Team of noted football manager Dan Palami.

With the looming participation of the Loyola FC and Laos FC, Torres said he sees a major boost to their stability as one of the professional leagues in the country.

“What’s great is that even during this pandemic, we still see progress and interest from many teams. We will be seeing a very stable and growing league,” Torre said.

“We have to be patient in adding teams because we are still in this time of uncertainty.”
