Watch Philippine Azkals vs Madrid CF Game

The Philippine Azkals will go up against Spain’s 3rd division football team Internacional de Madrid C.F. this 2012 for a “practice game” at the same time a fund-raiser for the benefit of Bagyong Sendong victims in Northern Mindanao. The proceeds from the charity match will be allocated for all projects aimed at providing health assistance and other forms of aid to the victims of the calamity.

The game will be held at the Rizal Memorial Football Stadium in Manila on January 7th at 4:00 p.m.

Tickets for the Philippine Azkals vs Internacional de Madrid C.F match, the cheapest reportedly priced at P100, can be availed from Ticketworld outlets starting January 2nd.

The Philippine Azkals will be joined by a selection of players from the United Football League in the upcoming game. I do hope that we can watch the live stream telecast over Philippine TV such as AKTV IBC13 or Studio 23.
