MANILA, Philippines -- The new owners of United City FC -- formerly Ceres-Negros FC -- are determined to build on the history that the club has made in Philippine football.
An ownership group, represented by Eric Gottschalk of MMC Sportz Asia, took over the management of the team from Leo Rey Yanson, who established the club in 2012.
Ceres-Negros had been a dominant force in Philippine football, having won the Philippines Football League for the past three seasons while also representing the country in the AFC Cup. He acknowledged that there are risks in taking on the ownership and management of a club, especially in the midst of a global pandemic."If we are not confident, if we are not bullish around it, we would not get involved," he said. "We are very confident that there's a future in football in the Philippines.""We are not here to play football for the next three months. The end goal is a five- to 10-year plan," he explained.
