TWO DIVISIONS are set to greet football enthusiasts featuring G-string clad booters as the second, one-of-a kind Goshen Land G-String Football Cup kicks off on March 9 at the Melvin Jones and Athletic Bowl football fields.
The one day tournament will see players from 5 years old to seniors slug it out in two football fields simultaneously.
The event is co-sponsored by the City Mayor’s Office and will also have a regular division.
Three categories will be played in the G-String Division which includes the elementary, high school and open in a 7-a-side play.
The regular division will see the 5 aside 7-under and 9-under, the 11-under,13-under,15-under and ladies open which is a seven a side game while the men’s open in the regular division will be played in an eleven –a-side set-up.
Various local teams and teams from outside of the city are expected to participate in the tournament.
Five hundred fifty five players and 84 teams joined the first G-String tournament two years ago which was played during a rainy July that saw players splashing, diving, tackling and sliding in the muddy Melvin Jones football field.
The tournament was unprecedented anywhere else in the world which made it a natural local tourism booster for the Baguio community.
Registration for this year’s Goshen Land G-String Tournament is ongoing. G-string division teams are required to bring their own G-Strings, upper football jerseys, shin guards, tube socks and football shoes.
Regular division teams are also required to come in their complete football gears.
For the 7-under to 15-under categories, coaches are required to submit certified, photocopied copies of the birth certificates of their official list of players. Last day of registration is on March 5.
