City of Smile lady booters crowned at Cebu tiff

The Mundial de Futbol title holder Buglas Filipinas proved its pure Negrense prowess after the ball found the back of the net at the top corner on the 7th minute from a direct free kick at the defending third, delivered by Renee Gavriel Lomugdang against Makati Football Club, Metro Manila 1 – 0 final score last August 17, 2024 at the Cebu City Sports Complex, grabbing the 18th Season Visayas gold medal with trophy and MVP trophy for Yannah Marie Amar.

Snafu

During the group stage team standing is 2-1-0 but almost failed to qualify for semi-finals after an “honest mistake” of organizer’s referee was revealed. The Girls Born 2008 was scheduled for semi-finals on their Official Facebook page against Cebu United but the emcee announced Makati FC instead. The team management also confirmed another “Honest Mistake” and LOC amended their meta post later.
