All roads lead to the Ayala Alabang Country Club in
Muntinlupa when Alaska Milk holds the biggest and most eagerly awaited football
tournament in the country the 2014 Alaska Football Cup this weekend, Nov. 29
and 30.
Football players of all ages, from as young as six
years old, participate in this annual event organized by Alaska Milk.
The annual Alaska Football Cup is the one football
tournament that young players from all over the country look forward to every
year.
Teams representing schools and football clubs from all
over the Philippines including Masbate, Baguio, Negros Occidental, Cebu, Davao,
Palawan, Legaspi, Laguna, Batangas, Bukidnon, Zambales, Pampanga, Tarlac,
Ilocos, Bicol, Romblon, Davao Sur, Compostela Valley, Quezon, Cavite, Albay,
Pangasinan, Bacolod, Iloilo, Mindoro and Metro Manila will participate.
The annual football event, which started in 1995,
holds its 19th edition this year with over 300 teams of more than 4,500 players
competing in the different categories. The two-day event will be played over
more than 750 seven-a-side games, in 30 football fields, and officiated by over
120 game officials.
The Alaska Football Cup is one of the country's most
successful grassroots development program in football.
Alaska believes that sports play an important role in
instilling the value of determination, discipline, hard work, team work and
sportsmanship among the youth. Sports help them achieve the “winning form”
which is Alaska's goal for the children.
The National Nutrition Survey of the Food and
Nutrition Research Institute (FNRI) revealed issues on health that are best
addressed by adopting an active healthy lifestyle and by regular consumption of
nutritious food such as milk. Programs such as the Football Cup reinforces Alaska Milk's thrust in promoting a healthy lifestyle not just by drinking milk
but also by engaging regularly in physical activities such as football. Alaska
seeks to engage all Filipinos, especially the youth, in sports.
It is in line with Alaska Milk’s program and dream to
be part of the lives of more children in the Philippines and encourage these
young champions to embrace a healthy and active lifestyle through football.
The tournament develops the athletic skills of
participants to the fullest because they compete against athletes of the same
age as well as physical and mental development.
Alaska does not just sell milk products. It promotes
community development and nation building by nurturing positive values of
teamwork, cooperation and fair play through sports activities like the 2014
Alaska Football Cup. Alaska promotes a healthy lifestyle, especially among
children, through regular sports activities and proper nutrition.
Watch the best young football players from all over
the Philippines this weekend as they compete in various categories. Admission
is free.
