The United City Football Club – formerly the home of Filipino stars like Stephan Schrock and naturalized player Bienvenido Marañon – withdraws from the Philippines Football League in the middle of a promising 2022-2023 season.
MANILA, Philippines – The United City Football Club broke its silence after a stretch of inactivity on Thursday, February 16, announcing that it is withdrawing from the Philippines Football League due to financial issues involving its Singapore-based investor Riau Capital Live .
“UCFC had signed a major agreement with RCL, a Singapore based real estate & sports investment entity in mid 2021, which the same company finally defaulted under in October 2022,” its statement read. Caught in the middle of the team’s predicament, the PFL and the Philippine Football Federation begrudgingly accepted its withdrawal and look to address what happens with its past and future games.
“We hope that the club and its management are able to bounce back from this predicament,” added PFF president Mariano Araneta.
