While the limelight falls on clubs such as United City and newcomer Maharlika, Kaya-Iloilo FC is quietly whipping itself into shape in anticipation of the opening of the 2020 Philippines Football Leag

ue season, hopefully in the latter part of the year.

With Cebuano coach Oliver Colina calling the shots, the team was running second in Group H of the ASEAN Zone of the 2020 AFC Cup when the tournament was scrapped by the Asian Football Confederation, the continent’s soccer body, last September 10 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He said his team has enjoyed returning to actual workouts, starting at the PFF national training center in Carmona town, Cavite, before moving over to the Blue Pitch in Makati, the second workout venue recently approved by the Games and Amusements Board for PFL clubs.

Given the long layoff, however, he was aware that “that the season will be condensed so we need a few more live bodies.” Looking forward to the league kickoff, the Kaya GM said that while there were clubs that looked strong on paper “this does not necessarily translate on the field.”He sees the Azkals Developmental Team as a darkhorse and “very competitive because they have guys playing outside of the Philippines who want to prove themselves here,” while Maharlika “is a mixture of youth and experienced players,” including ex-Kaya-Iloilo mainstay Del Rosario.
