We’re kicking off our super league on February 16,” Anton said. “We’re trying to be like the MPBL of football. We have ten teams across the NCR,” he added. Borromeo expressed how exciting 7’s matches can get and what he likes about it.“It’s exciting, fast-paced, there’s no break. It’s end to end action and the scoreline is usually big,” he said. “It’s not like normal 90 minutes (of football),” Borromeo added. Custodio said 7’s add a “modern twist” to football. “It makes it a bit more fun, especially for the kids. It encourages you to just keep going.”The 7’s Football League is set to begin February 16, 2025.
