Hi my name is Ash and I am 21 years old I'm am Welsh and currently play semi-pro in Wales. My girlfriend of 2 years is Filipina and she will be going back to Manila for the whole of 2014 and she wants me to go with her. So what I want to know is if I do decide to go and live with her in Manila next year will I be able to live on the salary I would get as a UFL player if I make one of the teams? And is the league a professional or semi-professional league? Does anyone know how much players are making in the UFL this year? Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Ash.

Hello and welcome, Ash! If you have asked Wiking, one of our trusty members who refers people to the UFL, it will depend largely if you would be paid a decent amount playing in the UFL, as the league is still by-and-large semi-pro. Surprisingly some of these foreign players had to compensate their lower-than-average salary playing for a UFL club by taking up other things, like modelling or putting up businesses. I would like to refer you to Manila Nomads FC, the oldest club side in the country which is largely composed of European expats, particularly British. They pay well but I think it may not be enough for you to live in Manila. Good thing your girlfriend's with you.

Many foreigners have moved to the Philippines to play in the UFL. If you are from Europe, and you are good enough, you will be paid professional wages. Although it is still by and large a semi pro league, the top teams(which have corporate backing) tend to pay foreigners(incl. some Brits) who make it through their trials, decent money. Otherwise, they wouldn't come. You just need to convince a club you are good enough. Of course, if you already have a decent job there, you can also join your fellow Brits at the Nomads FC, to help supplement your income and have fun at the same time.
