Defending champions Leylam FC will open the Final 8 round with a game against the Don Bosco Football Club while runner-up ERCO will take on the University of San Jose-Recoletos.
Another quarterfinal match pits the Rising Sun and the Avengers, who advanced to the quarterfinals with an 8-0 blanking of Carmelitos last Friday night at the Paref Springdale football field.
The remaining semifinals slot will be contested between 5-time Cesafi champions University of San Carlos and Samba.
Meanwhile, the scheduled finals and fight for third in the Under 11 Mix category was rescheduled to March 10 as well as the semifinals match between Ateneo A and Pomeroy in the U15 Boys.
