11th Sinulog Football Cup draws over 160 teams

THE 11th Sinulog Football Cup was held at the Dynamic Herb-Borromeo Sports Complex at the South Road Properties from Jan. 21 to 22. Over 160 teams have signed up for the weekend tournament to compete for the top spot in their respective categories.

Age brackets as young as under seven to professional-level teams wowed roaring fans and football enthusiasts with each team’s athleticism.

The Cebu Football Engineers reigned in the Men’s Professional division and Cebu Urduja B in the Women’s Open. In the Mix Under-7 division, Cebu United FC won the championship and Don Bosco Magone in Boys under-19 category. At the end of the weekend, thirteen champions in the available brackets of the Sinulog Cup brought home the gold.
