Football superstar David Beckham goes to Tacloban
Remember when Phil Younghusband asked David Beckham to exchange jerseys after the game? The football star is back...
CEBU - Football legend and former LA Galaxy midfielder David Beckham arrived at Cebu-Mactan International Airport via Hong Kong at 11 a.m. Thursday on board Cathay Pacific flight CX 931.
Airport sources said that Beckham, together with seven other passengers from Unicef, will board a Dornier 228-200 aircraft flight UNO-117H to depart from Cebu at 12 noon and arrive at Daniel Z. Romualdez Airport in Tacloban City at 12:30 p.m.
Beckham, who has been the Unicef Ambassador since 2005, visits the Philippines for the second time to oversee relief efforts of the UN agency focused on children in typhoon-ravaged areas in Tacloban. He was here in December 2011 when his former team LA Galaxy played an exhibition game with the Philippine national men’s football team on December 3 at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium.
Celebrity couple Beckham and his wife, former Spice Girl Victoria, raised funds for typhoon survivors and personally donated 20 boxes of clothes to the British Red Cross.

Clubs heed PFF call for Azkals
The Philippine Football Federation (PFF) has requested the UFL teams to lend their players to the Azkals, who are now coached by American Tom Dooley.
UFL President Randy Roxas thanked the teams for their cooperation. “The clubs have no objections to the PFF’s request that national team players be released for national team practice sessions twice a week starting this February,” Roxas said. “The league will also work with the PFF in terms of the proposed schedule for training camps abroad prior to the Challenge Cup.”
Roxas congratulated Dooley on his appointment and reiterated UFL’s support for the Azkals.
“The UFL remains committed in its support of the PFF and the Azkals. Our objectives in terms of football development are aligned and we fully recognize that a successful performance of the men’s national team in the AFC Challenge Cup will lead to faster growth of the sport in the country,” Roxas said.
The fifth edition of the AFC Challenge Cup is set from May 19 to 30 in the Maldives. The winner will qualify for the 2015 AFC Asian Cup to be hosted by Australia.
Dooley, who played twice for the United States in the World Cup in 1994 and in 1998, was appointed as the Azkals’s new coach last week.
Dooley also served as assistant to US men’s national team Head Coach Jurgen Klinsmann and was also involved in the country’s U-20 side.
