Finally, the 3rd CAFA Youth Football League ended successfully. It was in 2007 when the 1st edition was launched purposely to increase the awareness of the Caviteños and the people nearby about the sports and the association called Cavite Football Association (CAFA). Today, teams from nearby provinces participate in every edition after the 1st edition. Significantly, the teams coming from within the province itself and the number of players increased drastically. The dramatic metamorphoses of CAFA have something to do with the support of each member teams and the tireless efforts of the founding triumvirate; Coaches Angie Servillon, Ravelo Saluria, and Segundo Saluria, Jr. They are the forces behind the scene, who with their unparalleled commitment to the sports has catapulted CAFA into its new heights.
To fully develop the sport in the province, CAFA Mancom planned for an annual program that will penetrate down to the grassroots level. CAFA Cup, Youth Football League, Women’s Football League, UPHR-Molino Cup, CAFA Festival, Futsal and beach Soccer, these tournaments are part of the pipeline to improve the skills of each and every player, coaches, and referees. Remarkable improvement have been observed, CAFA teams win invitational tournaments outside of Cavite, CAFA players recruited as guest players to other teams, and referees asked to officiate to tournaments from nearby provinces. These are quite an achievement for a relatively new association.
In sustaining the growth of Cavite Football, CAFA needs more help from every individual and the leadership of CAFA is very thankful to supporters who in their small and big ways have contributed to the success of the program. The challenge for now is its sustainability. While the youth and the community have benefited to the programs of CAFA tremendously, CAFA needs more support system. It is then appealed to every sports enthusiast to share their blessings to the organization in order for CAFA to serve more tournaments in Cavite. Corporate Sponsors like Herbalife, Nokia, and RBR Law Firm have started the bandwagon hoping that more people and companies would help CAFA achieve its mission, vision, and goals.
In the spirit of football, CAFA will always be at the service of Cavite Youth. Someday, Cavite will produce players who will serve the national team, or even produce professional players playing in popular professional leagues... it will only happen if you and I will join hands to promote and develop football in Cavite... and lasty, lets create more Salurias and Servillons...for people like them creates the change in every youths life....
