Four companies owned by tycoon Manny V. Pangilinan will be linking up with teams for the National Club Football Championship slated late this year.
Smart Sports head Patrick Gregorio said Meralco, Maynilad, Smart and Cignal TV have signified their intention to sponsor a team each in the tournament.
Smart will be partnering with Kaya FC, the club team of Azkals skipper Aly Borromeo and Anton del Rosario.
Kaya plays in the United Football League, which will have two slots in the national tournament. The top two finishers in the UFL will gain berths to the finals, along with the top two teams from Luzon, Mindanao and Visayas.
Gregorio said they are also discussing possible sponsorship for a team from Negros Occidental with NOFA president Charlie Cojuangco.
For Maynilad, Gregorio said they might sponsor a team based in Alabang or Para�aque.
