He added the Philippine national team will be flying to Cebu for a one-day free football clinic for young people who wish to learn or to improve their skills.

�There is no limit to the number of participants and as well as the age of the participants and it is open for boys and girls,� Zuniga said. He added he will also try to get people to sign up for this advocacy.

The clinic will be from 10 a.m. until 3 p.m. After the clinic, there will also be an exhibition game between the RP team and the GX British and Filipino volunteers.

�Our British volunteers are also football players,� Zuniga said.
