The Philippines Football Federation (PFF) just approved the provisional license of Maharlika Football Club and will be the newest squad to join in the upcoming Philippines Football League season.
Maharlika FC’s inclusion in the tournament was announced and confirmed by the PFF club licensing first instance body (FIB) on Tuesday.
Maharlika will be joining the talented pool of Kaya FC-Iloilo, Mendiola FC 1991, Stallion Laguna FC, United City FC, and the Azkals Development Team.
After PFF’s go signal regarding Maharlika’s tournament participation, both the PFF and the PFL required the players and the coaching staff to undergo swab testing for them to start their practice.
Maharlika will be managed and owned by former Philippine Azkals member, Anton del Rosario and is yet to announce his coaching staff and player pool.
Meanwhile, Global FC has been slapped by the PFL with a 90-day suspension and can’t participate in any football tournament until their unsettled debts are arranged.
