MANILA, Philippines — Air Force Phoenix looks to extend its reign against a Loyola Meralco side seeking to establish itself as a force in the United Football League.
Unbeaten in their run to the finals, the Airmen and Sparks collide for the UFL Cup at 4 p.m. Saturday at the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila.
Global and Kaya-Cignal meet in the battle for third place—the first of two matches that will be aired live by AKTV on IBC 13.
The Airmen are in familiar territory, having won the league early this year after finishing second in the Cup competition to Global FC.
Air Force has actually won two of the three titles dangled in the UFL since the league started in 2009.
