“There is so much un-tapped potential in the football-business in the Philippines, that we felt like it is time to bring all the key stakeholders together in one room, and to discuss the state of the game, and how we can develop the sport in the Philippines,” pahayag ni Eric M. Gottschalk, CEO ng MMC Sportz Asia Inc.
“The inauguration of the professional football league in 2017 and the recent international successes of both the men’s and the women’s national football teams should be a springboard for the sport to finally take off in a basketball dominated country. But we noticed that the key stakeholders are still adapting a “wait-and-see” approach,” aniya.
“Private investment is needed in sports infrastructure, retailers need to offer a wider range of equipment options to the participants, and the media needs to make football a regular news feature. We are proud to launch this first get-together of the “Who is Who” in Philippines football with the overall aim to listen and learn about the vision for football in the country from a professional point of view, delivered by our partners from the AFC, PFF, PFL, La Liga, and supported by research and analytics from Dentsu, and SMG Insight. We are excited to bring this event to Manila, and hoping for it to impact the development of football in the Philippines, and for it to become a regular feature on the annual sports events calendar.”
“The Business of Football - Philippines, is timely, since it gathers all the relevant stakeholders in Philippine football in one venue. It is high time we get our act together, and elevate the level of the sport, in time for the upcoming Asian Cup 2019. Wherein the country, and the Philippine Azkals will have the opportunity to make a mark, and create history in the international football scene,” pahayag naman ni Philippine Azkals Team Manager Dan Palami.
