MANILA, Philippines – Neymar Jr.'s unique football tournament, "Five," returned to Sparta Philippines for another round of exciting matches last Saturday, with over a dozen teams squaring off in the Qualifier B event.

Just four squads advanced to the Finals, scheduled for next week: Manila Tala, Strafford FC, Baggie FC, and Naxional.

Leading the way for Baggie FC was former Philippine Azkals skipper Chieffy Caligdong, who said he enjoyed the experience.

"It's challenging, and I really enjoyed the game," said Caligdong. "It was my first time playing street soccer."

Caligdong will get the chance to face off against one of his former teammates, Anton del Rosario, in the Finals. Del Rosario's squad qualified last week.

Neymar Jr.'s "Five" is the Brazilian forward's signature football tournament, which pits five-a-side teams in head-to-head 10-minute matches – with a twist. Every time one team scores, the opposing team loses a player, making games fast, technical, and tactical.

Aside from Baggie FC, also emerging triumphant last weekend was the team of Daniel Matsunaga, Naxional South American Diner, which represents a popular Brazilian bistro.

"It's football, I have loved it since I was a kid, and I always find time to play," said Matsunaga. "It's exciting to have these kinds of tournaments in the Philippines."

Eight teams have now advanced to the Finals: Naxional, Baggie FC, Strafford FC, and Manila Tala from Qualifier A, and UNdeground, El Retiro, Kidzania, and Laro from Qualifier A.

The Finals will be held on Saturday, March 4, also at Sparta Philippines in Mandaluyong.
