What Went Down in the MFL Multisport 2024
The Manila Flag Football League hosted a football tripleheader on April 27 at Club United through their first-ever MFL Multisport 2024.
The 12-hour tournament was nothing short of a resounding success where 300 athletes celebrated their version of football – Football (soccer), Rugby Football, and Flag Football.
“Unity and support” as MFL’s Chief Operating Officer, Zara Carbonell-Near had shared were the founding values of MFL, and their Multisport Tournament was a testament to that.
Three (3) communities united on one football field, with overflowing support from MFL. Every athlete received an MFL Kit upon entry that contained MFL athlete shirts, towels, a drawstring bag for cleats, and more prizes from their brand partners.
Throughout the tournament, athletes were supported with unlimited water refills from Kooler, Electrolyte refuel from Pocari Sweat, unlimited sunscreen from Anessa, and 100% pure L-carnitine from LeGARDE.
And yes, MFL lives up to its reputation for turning 12-hour intense sporting events into a party! With Jade’s Temple on the field, athletes were treated to an unlimited supply of craft beer, great music, and a superb tournament set-up.
Athletes traveled all the way to Manila from as far as the United States, Japan, Thailand, Malaysia, and Singapore to be a part of the much-anticipated tournament.
The MFL Multisport 2024 concluded with winners across the three fields. On the touch rugby pitch, Manila’s own Manila Haribons emerged victorious, conquering the field and claiming the championship title. The Manila Monsoons secured a respectable third-place finish, while the Pirates walked away with silver.
Over on the football field, Valentia FC dominated the competition, earning the coveted MFL Champions’ trophy. Pro-fit FC and Anessa FC trailed closely behind, securing third and second place, respectively.
The flag football competition offered another exciting chapter, with international teams battling it out for bragging rights. The USA’s Hidden Village squad displayed impressive skills and emerged as Champions yet again, securing a back-to-back championship finish for their team. Malaysia’s KL Panthers secured a commendable second-place finish, while the Philippines’ Sinag Pilipinas rounded out the podium in third.
The MFL Multisport event was a resounding success, fostering camaraderie and competition amongst various football disciplines. With its international appeal and diverse range of competition, the MFL has established itself as a major player in the Philippine sporting landscape, and we eagerly anticipate what future MFL events will bring.
