YOUNG footballers from Koronadal City are out to seize the biggest moment yet in their budding careers as they see action in the JSSL 7’s 2024 Tournament set March 28 to 31 in Singapore.
Getting the rare opportunity to fly the country’s colors, 12 players comprise the Koronadal City Football Club (KCFC) that will show its wares against over 400 teams across 17 nations in the 7-aside football tilt considered Asia’s largest youth tournament.
The players have been toughened by years of playing together in various events in the region — not to mention the camaraderie they have forged and enhanced since becoming teammates and friends in 2013.
Marco Jaime Lorico, Ferlan Carl Mahusay, Skylar Eris Wagas, Holden Isaiah Dormitorio, Josef Adeien Tagolino, Harry Kenzo Ho and Zoie Kieffer Moreno are part of the crew to be handled by Ricardo Pusoc Jr. and team manager Edelyn Bayona in the under-11 category.
Completing the team are Chaz Dumanig, Eezekiel Cielo Luis Lecena, Chrisdom Lou Pelaez, Rainer Albert Suganob and John Daniel Capitan.
While playing in such a world-class event that boasts top-notch competition is already an achievement, KCFC is looking to turn heads and compete in the best way possible to instill a winning culture among its young and aspiring players.
KCFC is the proud owner of 18 titles in 21 tournaments so far.
