PCF Formalizes New Soccer Team with PanDeportes
PCF is registering a new soccer team with PanDeportes which is the Panama Sports Authority (Instituto Panameno de Deportes). Operating as a ‘persona juridica’ (legal entity) The new club will be called: FUTBOL CLUB – PCF’ or FC-PCF The team is being formed as a ‘selectivo’ team which is by invitation only. The best players from around the area including Panama City will be invited to participate. The focus of the team will be on ‘EXCELLENCE, ACHEIVEMENT AND PROFESSIONALISM’ both on and off the field. PCF is working with each player personally to further develop attitudes and values which support a successful life.
The team will participate in the DISTRICT LEAGUE OF CHAME in the sub 23 category. 16 teams participate in this league and compete for 3 slots to advance to the provincial tournament in PANAMA OESTE. (Western Panama). The best teams from this tournament, then advance to the COPA ROMMEL FERNANDEZ held in La Chorrera Moquita stadium each year. The winner of the COPA ROMMEL then advances and qualifies to play the next season as a professional team in Division II.
FC-PCF will fully develop teams in all age groups in the area from sub 13 and on up to sub 23. Our ultimate goal is to find quality players of all ages, in the interior of Panama who have little opportunity or resources, sponsor them and bring them in to a central facility for 4 days a week where they focus on education, values, teamwork and soccer practice. They then go back home 2 days a week to spend with family. 1 day a week is game day!
