MANILA, Philippines—Three Filipino-Europeans are arriving on January 15 to try out for the Philippine National Football Team called the Azkals that will play Mongolia in a home-and-away series in the Asian Football Confederation Challenge Cup in February.
The Philippine Daily Inquirer has received information that the players are Mark Drinkuth, Patrick Hergert and Mark McMahon.
They were among several promising Fil-foreigners who met with Azkals team manager Dan Palami in Frankfurt where Palami was scheduled to meet with officials of the German Football Federation in an effort to seek the association's help in boosting football in the Philippines.
Outstanding midfielder Dennis Cagara whose mother is a Filipina nurse and father a Nigerian has reportedly expressed interest in playing for the Philippines but according to an Inquirer source, Cagara might not be able to because Danish professionals "can't have dual citizenships."
The source told the Inquirer that another player Jerry Lucena was not there "but he was represented by Dennis Cagara and he said he is willing to play for the Azkals."

I think Cagara's father is filipino not Nigerian and her mom is Danish not a filipina nurse. Sometime reporter gets confused about infos, this mite be their first time covering futbol news. After a while they should get everything right. Im not complaining, at least they cover the sport now.

^^ LOL. our journalists should get familiar with these players and they must do their research before publishing an article.... it can mislead our readers who wants to know more about future Azkals' players.
