Palami is the men's team manager and is only responsible for the men's team, not for the youth teams. AFF U18 Championship: Vietnam 5 Philippines 0. so far: 3 loses, -15GDs As a proud Filipino, I refuse to let Araneta and the PFF make our youngsters the "Piñatas" in Southeast Asian football. We are better than that. I respectfully nominate Dan Palami to manage the Philippine Youth teams. Maybe he can bring the magic of 2010 into the grassroots youth program and get us out of this mess. Is this finally going to happen on 2018?

Yes, Finally he will manage our National Youth team after years of getting embarassing losses from various youth tournaments from the previous years, with him on board I believe we're going to select only deserving players to represent our country in AFC,AFF age groups competition.

Our youth simply need to follow the rule of thumb: If you're not at least 6'3 by the time you are 12, then you play football or other sports where standing below six feet is not a disadvantage. If you're equal and above that, then you play basketball or other sports where standing above six feet is an advantage. If I had kids, I'll gladly present them a football when they first start walking. Basketball will only be considered if they grow to at least 6'3. However, by the time they reach 12 and they (parents) realize that their children are physically not meant for basketball greatness; they have already developed skills, I.Q, and even habits are more inclined with basketball than football. Sure they can always switch to playing football. But footballers who started kicking and dribbling (using their feet) during their young age will always have the advantage over someone who just shifted to football in high school. Besides, if both mother and father are not six footers, how can they expect their child to grow as six-footers? Kahit uminom pa ng Sustagen at Enfagrow ang bata kung pandak ang mga magulang Malabo maging six-footer ang bata. That's why they should just encourage children (who will not obviously grow as six-footers) to play football while they're still young. Is it also going to happen in 2018: that Filipinos finally concede to the brutal fact that global basketball greatness is not meant for us, and that Filipinos should once and for all should focus it time and limited financial resource in football?

We are hosting the FIBA 3x3 World Cup later this year and the FIBA World Cup in 2023 (alongside Japan and Indonesia). I don't think this is going away anytime soon.

basketball is never going away. its a cultural thing. the PFF should start little city/region youth leagues that play regularly to promote the sport and none of those 3-day festivals.

Basketball is not going away.
Football is not going away either. The difference is in the growth potential. Football has plenty of upside, has the potential of pervading all of the country, whereas it's difficult to imagine basketball growing a whole lot more from where it is now.

Apparently with help from international football bodies like FIFA and the AFC, the PFF has been blessed with the biggest budget(outside of basketball) among the various NSA's in the Philippines. Part of that was spent making our national teams competitive by recruiting players from abroad which by itself is commendable(if grassroots development locally is also addressed as well) by helping raise the profile of the sport which would hopefully attract investors. The PFF has also taken on the responsibility of setting up a professional football league, the PFL, which is a necessary ingredient in any aspiring competitive national football association. However, just like the mismanaged and disastrous Suzuki Cup, they seem to have botched the financial end of it, with no national television contract and a failure to attract investors and sponsors to help sustain the league. If not addressed in time the PFL might end up having the same fate as previous PFF attempts of setting up a professional leagues in the past folding after only a few seasons. With all its faults being mostly a regional based league, the UFL which was run by business minded managers with a passion for football, who knew how to run a business and sustain it, did a better job of keeping professional football alive than any other attempts before and since. A part of the PFF budget which FIFA mandated, was also used to help field national age group level teams which unfortunately (especially when it comes to the boy's age group teams) were not as successful in AFF or AFC tournaments. I personally am in favor of using mostly homegrown talent in the national youth teams. However it is not enough to just field a bunch of boys with little preparation, inadequate scouting and lacking experience in international events. Those other factors have to be addressed. Even when those are taken into account, our local boys tend to be at a disadvantage internationally because of the lack of development at the grassroots level compared to their counterparts in other countries. From what I have seen, what seems to be missing in the PFF's program for grassroots development are first and foremost national age group tournaments to uncover and develop young talent and to provide a competitive environment for club and players to aspire to, and secondly the formation of academies(which would need input from scholastic, private sector and professional clubs) where those talents can be developed on a day to day basis. Unless the PFF address those missing elements(the Coke for Goal national age group tournaments in the past would be a good start), we will mostly be unable to catch up with our counterparts in Asia without help from our diaspora. Aside from football, this seems to be a common theme in other sports as well in the Philippines. Here is a recent article I read about tennis and Philta(national tennis fed) that echo the situation in football and other sports. It is not exactly the same, as a lot of progress has been made in football(which has been recognized even by FIFA, the AFC and other FA's abroad) not only at the national team level but also professionally, but the grassroots component has to be addressed if we want this progress to be sustained long term. www.spin.ph/tennis/opinion/bench_warmer/tennis-anyone-"What they’ve done is to master their hold on the association, building up their profile by relying on the occasional successes of overseas-based Filipinos Cecil Mamiit, Ruben Gonzales, Treat Huey, and a very few others. What they haven’t done is to provide a coherent development program to build a strong tennis base. That task has fallen on businessmen Jean Henri Lhuillier and Bobby Castro, whose sponsorship of nationwide age-group tournaments has become the country’s de facto tennis program, organized and financed by private enterprise." Well, Philta is not alone in taking this easy route. Nearly every local sports association — from cycling, judo, gymnastics, football, athletics, and basketball — taps foreign talent to satiate the country’s medal appetite. It is easier, after all, than scouring the country for raw talent, developing it, and running with it to the international arena."

Perhaps it would help if basketball tournaments are reduced in number. Beside helping players to recover and do other stuff it could highlight other sports to show their stuff. It is not healthy for a nation to concentrate on one sport specially if the natural physique does not fit the popular sport.
The presence of fil-foreign and foreigners in football is a must. They increase the level of play and make the game more interesting. The clubs however must promote their sport in the schools at all levels by providing free tickets to those who would like to watch. Perhaps identifying the team with a school would also help as it would promote more interest and competition.
Also each PFL team must have an academy supported by FIFA/PFF which may be based in the school I mentioned earlier. Perhaps they can have their own mini tournament.

Maor Rozen 4 hrs · Jerez De La Frontera, Spain
Our deepest wishes of success to the new Head of the Youth Development in the PFF!
We, all of us that look for the best development of the football in the PH, hope that the work of the Japanese Technician will last at least 5 years in order to finally finding a Pinoy style taking advantage of the characteristics of the kids and young talents of the future. Otherwise, the improvement of the football in the country will continue navigating the turbulent waters of expensive frustrations. So be it!
Mabuhay!

Post by Uruguayan Coach Maor Rozen(used to coach in the Philippines) on the new head of youth development in the Philippines. He didn't name the Japanese coach though and there has been no announcement from the PFF so far. He is right though about making a long term plan. The PFF usually just makes short term solutions, but had totally forgotten about youth team development except for some 3 day regional festivals that don't accomplish much as the players have no incentive to keep on playing after that. It is their responsibility to hold at least national age group youth club team competitions like they had in the past, but even that has fallen by the wayside.

Not much info about this guy except that he was in the coaching staff of the Chinese Taipei NT in 2017. His last match with CT was in the 5-0 loss to Bahrain. JFA is doing a good job in 'influencing' emerging FAs that is helping the grassroots programs, much like how the Germans do in Africa.

Global Cebu FC started their match against Thanh hoa FC with a line-up that includes Del Rosario(21),Bugas(23),Gadia(22),Dizon(24) Casambre (19) and off-the bench Jordan Jarvis (19) but only played a couple of minutes.
Looking forward seeing Chima Uzoka getting his 1st AFC Cup apperance for Global Cebu.
Global Cebu seems to be a bit deeper in terms of talent of the bench compared to last year with the arrivals of players from FCMM, Angeles from Kaya, Uzoka and Marasigan from Ilocos United and Jordan Jarvis from Davao Aguilas.

The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has appointed Mr. Reiji Hirata as Head of Youth Football Development for the next two years. Coach Hirata was nominated by the Japan Football Association (JFA) upon a request from the Philippine Football Federation. Mr. Hirata holds a JFA ‘A’ Coaching License, which is equivalent to an AFC ‘A’ Coaching License. Prior to his appointment by PFF, the 42-year-old football coach has worked closely with the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA) Technical Department and served as interim head coach of the Chinese Taipei National Team as well as head coach of Chinese Taipei Boys Under-13 and Under-15 teams. Mr. Hirata is expected to help strengthen the youth football development programs in the country. In addition, Mr. Hirata will work closely with the PFF Technical Department in formulating policies for establishment and accreditation of football academies and centers of excellence as well as in the adoption of the Youth Football Training Manual. “This country has a population of 100 million with an average age of 23. People here take great care of their family, love festivals, and football has been very popular recently. This diversity is a strength that we can expand on. Working together with the PFF President Mr. Araneta and everyone involved, I will do my best to develop the youth and help football in the Philippines moving forward,” said Hirata in a statement released in the JFA website. “We thank the Japan Football Association for sending Mr. Reiji Hirata to serve as the PFF Head of Youth Development,” said PFF president Mariano Araneta. “We look forward to working with Mr. Hirata in improving the performance of the Philippine National Youth Teams and enhancing a formal youth football development plan.” pff.org.ph/2018/02/13/pff-appoints-reiji-hirata-head-youth-development/
