With more than 1000 participants from various football clubs across the island of Panay, the two-day event was led by Globe Sports Ambassador and Ilonggo National Football Team player "Azkal" Chieffy Caligdong.

Globe Football Para Sa Bayan is a grassroots program for the youth from underprivileged communities and serves as an inclusive platform for socially advantaged and less advantaged teams to interact and work together. It also gathers key movers in the football scene such as the Green Archers United where Caligdong plays as a left winger.

It is the second time for Globe to conduct the sports activity in Iloilo (last year it was held in Barotac Nuevo) and it followed the Metro Manila kick off last month. Earlier, Caligdong also conducted a football clicnic for 40 students of Hacienda Conchita Elementary School in San Dionisio, Iloilo as part of Globe's Classroom on the Go project.

Compared to other football tournaments where organizers charge anywhere from P3,000-P5,000 per team, all 35 community football teams will be supported by Globe via free inclusion into the tournament. Through this, underprivileged players are given access to high-level competition and opportunities to network and to get scouted by private schools and teams for possible scholarships.

Globe Football Para Sa Bayan is a year-round football campaign of the giant telecommunications company to bring the program around the country to impact nation-building in a big way. Football is just the first step in Globe sports advocacy as the company continues to develop various sports programs for its CSR communities.
