MANILA – The football fever is at a record high this June not only because of the 2014 FIFA World Cup, but also because of the annual adobo Cup, which is now on its 7th year.
This year, adobo magazine‘s annual 5-a-side football tourney will be held on June 28, 2014 at the Gatorade-Chelsea FC Blue Pitch at Circuit Makati, and Draft Night will be held on June 18, 2014 at Skinny Mike’s in Bonifacio Global City.
Supporting this year’s tournament is Globe Telecom, whose corporate football team is coached by Green Archers United left winger and Azkals midfielder Chieffy Caligdong.

Caligdong is also the program director for Globe’s CSR program, “Football Para sa Bayan,” which was launched in 2013 and has reached out to almost 6,000 kids to date by providing education kits to encourage the children to stay motivated in their studies as their interest in football grows.
“Being part of an esteemed industry-wide tourney like the adobo Cup is the perfect avenue for promoting a healthy and active lifestyle to our Ka-Globe employees while serving a Globe of Good,” said Roki Ferrer, director of corporate brand management & shared services at Globe.
“By participating in the adobo Cup, Globe also showcases the holistic nature of our employees – that excellence and fun in the workplace is also extended in the pitch,” Ferrer said.
As in previous years, the adobo Cup will benefit FutKal Philippines, a non-profit organization that aims to promote football in the Philippines at the grassroots level. This year, proceeds from the game will go to Field of Hope, an initiative of FutKal Philippines that aims to help rebuild the lives of Typhoon Haiyan survivors through football.
Teams of 15 to 17 members may register on or before the draft night. Registration is at P4,000 per team. For more information, contact Kriss Luciano at 09178044053 or visit the adobo Football Cup Facebook page.
The adobo Cup 7 is presented by adobo magazine in cooperation with Globe Telecom, Gatorade, St. Luke’s Medical Center, Executive Decisions, WYD Productions, and Chelsea FC.
