Leisure developer Landco successfully completed the 1st Tribeca Football Festival, which it organized in partnership with Chelsea FC Soccer School Philippines, the school operated by famed Philippine National Football Team superstars Phil and James Younghusband, and joint venture partner, ATR KimEng Land, Inc.

The 1st Tribeca Football Festival was held last April 21st at the 7-Aside Football Field of the Tribeca Private Residences. It featured some 500 football enthusiasts, including 24 children’s’ football teams from various schools and football clubs. The games took place on the 7-Aside Football Field from 8 am till 5 pm. Tribeca is also the home of the Chelsea FC Soccer School Philippines.

According to Landco VP for Sales Albert Villa-real, the successful event as a two-fold benefit: 1) It contributes to the growth of football as a sport in the Philippines; and 2) It generates interest in Tribeca Private Residences as a place that is not only safe for children but also conducive to a healthy, active lifestyle.


“When we first conceived of this event, we wanted to see how much support it would get. Well, it has been very successful. So many people became interested and participated in the games. With this development, we are surely considering holding more events like this,” he revealed.

The games at the football festival were divided into several categories according to the participants’ ages: 12-years-old-and-under; 10-and under; 8-and under; and 6-and under. Winning teams from each category received trophies and medals for 3rd, 2nd, and 1st Place.

The Younghusband brothers, together with officials of Landco Pacific Corporation, the developer behind Tribeca Private Residences, awarded the winners. According to Villareal however, the main attraction for the young participants was not only the trophies and medals but the chance to be with their idols Phil and James.

Team A from Loyola Meralco Sparks FC emerged as champion in the 12-years-old-and-under Category of the first ever Tribeca Football Festival held last April 21st at the 7-Aside Football Field of the Tribeca Private Residences.

Other winning teams in the other categories include: (12-and under) Schwarz FC, 1st Place; LMS FC Team B; (10-and under) LMS-B, Champion; LMS-A, 1st Place; LMS-B, 2nd Place; (8-and under) Corinthian FC, Champion; RAYA FC, 1st Place; CFCSSPH, 2nd Place; (6-and under) CFC, Champion; MUFC, 1st Place; RAYA FC, 2nd Place.

“Through the presence of Chelsea FC and our 7-Aside Football Field, Tribeca Private Residences provides a safe environment for our budding football players to learn their skills and develop sportsmanship. We are proud that, even in this humble way, we are able to help in the development of football in the country.


“Phil and James are very passionate about teaching football to Filipino kids. They want to sow the seeds, so to speak, in creating the next generation of top Filipino football players. We at Landco share that passion not only to contribute to football but also to provide the best living and leisure experience to our clients,” said Alfred Xerez-Burgos III, President and CEO, Landco Pacific Corp.
