CEBU CITY, Philippines— The Central Visayas Football Association (CVFA) will compete in Group A of the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) U19 Boys National Championship 2024 Division 1 on Tuesday, May 21, at the Dynamic Herb-Borromeo Sports Complex in this city.
As the host, CVFA will face three top football associations from Visayas and Mindanao in three scheduled matches.
Despite falling short in last year’s national championships held in Cebu being the organizer of the tournament, CVFA aims to redeem itself and become the top team in Group A.
They will play against Panay Football Association (PFA), Camiguin-Misamis Oriental Regional Football Association (CMORFA), and Zamboanga del Norte Dipolog FA (ZANDIFA) in the group stage.
CVFA will face CMORFA in the opening match on Tuesday at 3 p.m.
Their second match will be against ZANDIFA on Thursday, May 23, at 7 p.m.
CVFA’s last scheduled game is a rematch against the Ilonggo booters of the PFA. To recall, PFA handed them a heartbreaking 1-2 defeat in last year’s national championships.
