The team that tapped the services of Davaoenos Anthony Elorde, a member of Southshield FC, and Liam Quaile of Crocs FC, had a decent showing in the elimination round, but they fell in the knockout stage.
The team reached the semifinals but fell to Singapore Sports School 1-2.
Despite failing to get the coveted championship, the team is still pleased with their performance in the tournament, considered Asia’s Premier Youth Football competition, showcasing the young talent of over 450 teams across 17 countries.
Elorde, who plays as a defender, played well in the tournament alongside Quaile.
Elorde was trained under one of the top coaches in Davao City, Roland "Balot" Manabit, a former soccer varsity of the University of Mindanao. (Romeo Braceros, Jr.)
