Cebu Football News: Sinulog Football Cup adds 2 divisions

ORGANIZERS of the Sinulog Football Festival weren’t expecting much when they decided to hold their event this weekend but got surprised after getting a lot of inquiries from interested Cebu football teams.

Organizer Francis Ramirez admitted the 1st Sinulog Football Festival is just a test event, and whether it will be held next year or not will depend on this year’s success.

“This was just a test, but a lot of Cebu Football teams have inquired about the event,” Ramirez said in an interview with Sun.Star Cebu.

The two divisions added are the Ladies Open and Inter BPO Men’s categories. The other divisions are the Players 8 and 10, Boys 12, 14 and 17, Girls 17, Men’s Open and 38 and above.

“A lot of teams said they want to join, especially in the Ladies Open, that’s why we added new divisions,” he said.

The Ladies Open division has six Cebu Football teams.
