Foundation University will send a team for the national tryouts for the Philippine Girls’ Under-16 Futsal team in Bacolod City next week.
Dr. Aparicio Mequi, director of the university’s Institute of Youth Sports for Peace, said the football players from Siaton, Anthony’s and Foundation University will be sent to Bacolod City at the university’s expense to join the national tryouts at the Panaad Stadium on August 20-21.
The girls were selected in a two-day tryout over the weekend at Foundation University.
Mequi said university president Dr. Mira Sinco has expressed her full support to this program.”Sending them to Bacolod will be an opportunity for the girls to realize a dream of a lifetime,” he said.
Apart from the Foundation University team, Negros Oriental will also be represented by a selection from the Negros Oriental Football Association (NORFA) in the national tryouts.
