PFC Cup Futsal Final stage on Sunday at NCCC Mall

DAVAO CITY—It has all come down to this. The top eight squads in the men’s division and the best four teams in the women’s side—all for one coveted title and a spot to the National Finals.

With this, the stage is set for the knockout phase of the exciting PFC Cup Winners Cup Futsal-Davao Leg on Sunday at the NCCC Mall Activity Area here where the action is expected to be fierce.

The quarterfinal stage begins with an interesting battle between two sister squads but for sure, there will be no love from the opening whistle between Group A top qualifier Metro TMS and Group C no. 2 S and G Ventures as they seek for the first ticket to the semis. The other match-ups will pit surprise package Lupon United, the topnotcher in Group C, against Group D no. 2 Philippine Rabbies, Group B top qualifier Hooligans against Group D no. 2 Black Knights, and Group D no.1 Malita FC against Group B no. 2 Alia Orange FC.

The survivors of the quarterfinals advance to the semifinals where the winners eventually clash in the winner-take-all finals of the tournament organized by the Philippine Futsal Clubs in cooperation with Bravetower Promotions, City Government of Davao, Phoenix Petroleum, Sun Cellular, NCCC Mall and Futsal de Davao.

In the women’s division, Solido FC-B takes on Black Knights in the first semifinals while its sister team Solido FC-Team A face a veteran-laden DDS squad in the other semifinals setto.

The men’s and women’s champion will earn the right to represent Davao in the National Finals on November 26 in Manila where a spot to the international Futsal tournament in Belgium await the national champs.

Also at stake are the individual prizes for the Phoenix MVP award, Sun Cellular Best Goalkeeper and Frenzy Best Defender for both men’s and women’s divisions. PFC President Rex Velasquez will be joining special guest Atty. Raymond Zorilla of Phoenix Petroleum in the awarding ceremonies with City Sports Development division chief Cholo Elegino and DFA President Edward “Chaya” Lam.
