Mixed Open Division

11 team slots 7-a-side · 5+2 ratio

Format & Ratio Rules

  • Matches are 7-a-side, following a 5+2 player ratio:
    • A maximum of five (5) male players and two (2) female players are permitted on the pitch.
    • If only one female player is available, the team may compete with six (6) players — 5 male plus 1 female.
    • If no female players are available, the team will not be allowed to play.

Tournament Format

  • League phase / Swiss model: 2 groups of 4 teams (Groups A and B) and 1 group of 3 teams (Group C).
  • Win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, loss = 0.
  • Score multipliers account for the uneven group sizes: Groups A and B use a 4x multiplier, Group C a 3x multiplier.
  • All 11 teams are ranked on a single table.
  • A tie on the standings is decided by goal difference, then goals for, then head-to-head result, then fair play record, then a penalty shoot-out.

Knockout Stage

  • Ranking into knockouts: 1st–4th go to Division 1, 5th–8th to Division 2, 9th–11th to Division 3.
  • Divisions 1 and 2: semi-finals, 3rd-place match and championship.
  • Division 3: single round robin.
  • A tie in the knockout stages goes straight to a penalty shoot-out: 3 kickers (2 male, 1 female) who were on the pitch at full time, in an order chosen by the team. If still level after 3 kickers each, sudden death until a winner is decided.

Player Eligibility

  • Players who currently play or have previously played in the PFL, Ang Liga, Copa Paulino, or any previous or future iterations of these competitions — as well as current or former Philippine national football or futsal team players — are ineligible to participate.

Women's Division

4 team slots 7-a-side

Tournament Format

  • Single round robin. Win = 3 points, draw = 1 point, loss = 0.
  • All 4 teams are ranked on a single table.
  • A tie on the standings is decided by goal difference, then goals for, then head-to-head result, then fair play record, then a penalty shoot-out.

Knockout Stage

  • After the round robin, the top four go into the knockout stage.
  • Semi-final 1: 1st v 4th. Semi-final 2: 2nd v 3rd.
  • The semi-final losers play the Battle for 3rd; the winners play the Grand Final.
  • A tie in the knockout stages or Grand Final goes straight to a penalty shoot-out: 3 kickers who were on the pitch at full time, in an order chosen by the team. If still level after 3 kickers each, sudden death until a winner is decided.

Player Eligibility

  • Only players who have represented the Philippine national football or futsal team within the past four (4) years are ineligible to participate.
  • Players with UAAP/NCAA experience and/or who have previously played in the WFL, Ang Liga, or any previous or future iterations of these competitions must be at least two (2) years removed from their collegiate/national team playing careers.

  • Grand Finals: two halves of 10 minutes each.

Injury, Stoppage & Substitution

  • No stoppage or injury time is added.
  • The referee may briefly stop play so medical personnel can safely assess a player.
  • A player needing on-field medical attention must leave the field within 30 seconds and may be substituted immediately. They may re-enter once cleared.

Squad & Registration

  • Registration fee per team is PHP 8,000.
  • Each team must register a minimum of 10 players and a maximum of 15 players.

Player Eligibility — All Divisions

  • Only Filipino citizens may take part.

Line-Up Submission & Verification

  • Teams must submit their line-up on or before October 28 (Wednesday), 6:00 PM. Captains submit theirs through the Messenger group chat and coordinate directly with the NAFC reps there.
  • Every player must also register individually — see the top of this page.
  • Team captains can contest the line-ups of other teams from October 28 until October 31, 2:00 PM.
  • After the contention period, all team line-ups are locked and no changes will be allowed.
  • If a team is found during the contention period to have listed an ineligible player, that player will not be allowed to participate. The team may replace the player with one who is eligible.

Sanction If a team is found to have played an ineligible player after the contention period, every game that player appeared in is automatically deemed a 0–3 loss, and the team is disqualified from the tournament.
