Ang Liga (transl. The League) is an inter-collegiate football tournament based in the Philippines. It serves as a pre-season tourney for competing football varsity teams from the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), UAAP and other similar collegiate leagues, before the regular football tournaments begin within the second semester of the academic year.[1]
Ang Liga, was founded in 2003 by Philippine Football Federation (PFF) Technical Director and Philippines national football team assistant coach Jose Ariston Caslib and Marlon Maro, who served as the head coach of the Philippines national under-23 football team.[2] Ariel Serrantes is the league commissioner.[3]
The league changed the tournament format in 2015. 12 collegiate teams were placed under the first division and divided into two groups for the elimination round, while the remaining 7 teams played in the second division. The top four teams from the two groups moved on in the knock-out quarterfinals, while the top four teams of the second division advanced into the semifinals.[2]
The 14th season of the Ang Liga commenced on July 9, 2016, with the majority of the games played at the Football Field of the San Beda College, Manila. It is currently being organized by Karl Francis M. Tan, Patrick Maramara and Paolo Del Rosario.
