Last Saturday may have been raining cats and dogs but it surely did not stopped the families, friends, and supporters of the Teen Azkals Men's U19 squad on its press conference held at OneA Sports Bar, Antipolo before the team flies to Australia for the Kanga Cup 2013, July 7-12.
The players of the Teen Azkals Men's Under 19 squad led by Team Manager Alvin Carranza, Asst. Team Manager Ramon Manuel, together with Coaches Marlon Maro, Tomasito Glenn Hilig and Noel Marcaida.
The Kanga Cup—held annually in Canberra, Australia—is the largest International Youth Football Tournament in the Southern Hemisphere that proudly unites the youth of the world through football and is sanctioned by the Football Federation Australia and the Asian Football Confederation.
The press conference was graced by CFC Teen Azkals U19 Team Manager Alvin Carranza, Asst. Team Manager Ramon Manuel, together with Coaches Marlon Maro, Tomasito Glenn Hilig and Noel Marcaida.
The Philippines' 1977 Football superstar Bert Honasan shared an inspiring message to the squad, raising the team's moral, to always trust their team and coaches, and to never let their guard down with great focus until they've reached and play for SEA games and the Olympics.

Also showing support and his inspiring experiences is Philippine National Football Team Azkals' Co-captain Chieffy Caligdong. He reminded the team to always keep grounded and value integrity, and most importantly to never let foreign players intimidate them, "Show them what you got and fight as a Filipino." he added.
