First-Ever ArthaCup Scores Big with Sustainability, Community, and Competition

7月 7, 2025

ARTHACUP 2025 marked its successful first run, uniting almost 1,000 people, including young athletes, proud families, and the community, for a day of football, fun, and camaraderie. The football action unfolded on the well-kept grounds of the DLSU Laguna Campus Football Field and Track Oval, where teams battled it out rain or shine. The players’ energy, dedication, and display of sportsmanship truly brought the pitch alive.

Organized by the Azkals Development Academy (ADA) and proudly supported by the country’s foremost green developer ARTHALAND, ArthaCup 2025 drew 476 players from 37 participating teams. Teams fought hard for the top spots, and champions and runners-up were awarded trophies and medals.

In the Under-7 (U7) division, Kaya FC emerged as champions, and Lingap Leads claimed the 1st runner-up position while Perpetual FC secured 2nd runner-up honors. The MVP award went to Malec Gutierrez. The Under-9 (U9) category saw ADA Bacolod crowned champions, with PSA taking the 1st runner-up spot and ADA Manila finishing as 2nd runner-up. Rey Mark Dela Cruz was recognized as MVP. In the Under-11 (U11) division, ADA Blue claimed the top prize, edging out ADA Bacolod, who took 1st runner-up, and PSA, who finished 2nd runner-up. The MVP honor was awarded to Alonzo Victoria. In the Under-13 (U13) division, PSA took home the championship while Rektikano finished 1st runner-up and Fuerza FC 2nd runner-up. Kobe Andrei Bona was named MVP. Finally, in the Under-15 (U15) group, Kaya lifted the championship trophy with ADA Manila as 1st runner-up and ADA Bacolod earning 2nd runner-up honors. The MVP award went to Dan Vicera.

“It’s incredible to witness how sport can unite people,” said the Academy Director, Stephan Schrock. “ArthaCup 2025 was about more than competition – it was about passion, sportsmanship, and building bonds in our community. On behalf of ADA, I want to thank ARTHALAND for supporting football and giving kids a platform to grow, learn, and shine.”

After the games, the community gathered next door at The Pavilion in Sevina Park, one of the country’s most sustainable and thoughtfully planned neighborhoods, for the awarding ceremonies and festivities. Smiles, cheers, and spirited energy filled the air as families enjoyed good food and great company amid Sevina Park’s lush green spaces.

Sevina Park is an 8.1-hectare mixed-use community with sustainability and well-being at its core. Designed to reduce carbon emissions, improve air quality, and lower utility costs, it creates a healthier, happier lifestyle for its residents. It is the first development in Southeast Asia to earn a LEED® Platinum certification in both Neighborhood Development and Homes categories, alongside a 5-star BERDE rating from Building for Ecologically Responsive Design Excellence. With 60% of the estate dedicated to green and open spaces, residents can easily connect with nature and community through leisurely strolls or bike rides, playful moments at the playground and pool, or harvesting fresh produce from the Potager Garden.

A vibrant marketplace of Southern vendors, including PureNectar Company, Inc., South Chix, Mister Lemon, Mommies Kitchen, Cafe Rajan, Cafe Agapita, and Sazanami, added flavor to the event. These merchants helped create an experience far beyond the game, making the day memorable for everyone. ArthaCup 2025 would not have been possible without the incredible support of the DLSU Laguna Campus. Their top-notch facilities and warm welcome created the ideal setting for a day filled with energy, teamwork, and lasting memories.
