Despite the effort of Global Cebu FC’s management to bring the match to the Cebu City Sports Complex (CCSC), the PFL board had the final say and decided to hold the football event at Panaad Stadium in accordance to the PFL Tournament Regulations.
Global Cebu assured that it is ready to play wherever as it abides with the PFL board’s decision.
Omid Nazari of Ceres Negros FC expressed his readiness to play against his former club.
Last year, Nazari was able to help Global Cebu FC in the finals of the United Football League (UFL).
“I feel ready now,” he said. “The team feels ready so it is going to be fun.”
The kickoff of the inaugural final is at 6 p.m.
