Philippine football goes bubble.
The stage is set for the Philippines Football League (PFL) as its season kicks off in a bubble setting on October 24 at the PFF National Training Center in Carmona, Cavite.
PFL commissioner Coco Torre met with the clubs on Thursday, October 8, to discuss the league competition and the bubble setup which will be subject to the approval of the Inter-Agency Task Force (IATF).
While the league waits for the IATF green light, Torre already laid out the competition format for the season which will feature a single round-robin scheme followed by a finals series.
Teams will play 5 matches each, with the top 4 teams advancing to the championship round.
To minimize the risk of the coronavirus, the PFL is setting up a bubble at the Seda Nuvali in Sta Rosa, Laguna, for the duration of the tournament.
All PFL clubs and match officials will be staying inside the bubble and will only be allowed to leave the premises for training and matches in Carmona.
Mendiola FC faces the Azkals Development Team in the season opener, while Stallion Laguna tangles with Kaya FC-Iloilo in the second game.
Newcomer Maharlika Manila FC and United City FC square off the next day.
As it finalizes its protocols for approval of the Games and Amusements Board and the Department of Health, the PFL closes in on a broadcast deal that will allow fans to watch the matches live on different platforms. – Rappler.com
