DAVAO CITY—Nabunturan FC completed the 16-team cast for the men’s draw in the PFC Cup Winners

Four teams are in the waitlist and will be taking the spot of any team that backs out. These are PNP

schedule. They are on the wings just in case there will be some slots vacated,” said local organizer Neil
Bravo.
