Cebu: ‘Bring football to grassroots’

by Oscar C. Pineda

WITH the Akzals’ popular feats, a proposal to include football in the Provincial Government’s grassroots program came up, while Gov. Gwen Garcia said she will study it.

The proposal was inspired by the success in volleyball, which was introduced in the Province’s grassroots sports program years ago.


The Gov. Gwen Garcia Unity Volleyball (GUV) Cup, Capitol’s volleyball grassroots program, is now recognized nationwide, with the recent victory of Catmon volleyball girls team in the recent Palarong Pambansa for the third time. Cebu Football Association (CFA) is now proposing a Governors’ Cup for football.
