The Philippines to Host the A5 Nations Tournament in July 2009

Written by: Matthew Cullen

The Philippine Rugby Football Union has won the rights to host the Div. 3 Asian 5 Nations Men’s Rugby Union Football Tournament which will be held in Manila this coming June 30th – July 5th 2009.

Members of the Asian 5 Nations committee and the IRB recently visited the Philippines to supervise the Division 2 of the Asian Rugby Football Union U-20’s tournament and were suitably impressed with the playing venues, accommodation and professionalism displayed by the PRFU. Consequently the Philippines entered a bid to host the prestigious Asian 5 Nations Division 3 tournament and were successful in winning the rights to host.

During next years tournament the Philippines will come up against three formidable opponents in Indonesia, Guam and Iran. Both Indonesia and Iran won their 2008 regional tournaments with the Philippines beating Guam in their recent regional tournament. There are a number of exciting prospects that are associated with hosting the Asian 5 Nations tournament here in Manila and these include:

The winning team receives promotion to the Division 2 Asian 5 Nations Tournament in 2010.
Raising awareness and promoting the development of Rugby Union in the Philippines.
Promotional and sponsorship opportunities to advertise at the Asian Regional Level.
Display of new world class venues and playing facilities at the University of Makati.
Recognition from ARFU and the IRB that the Philippines is a country that can promote, develop and host Rugby Football Union Tournaments at the International level.
Creating opportunities for all Filipino citizens to play and learn the sport of Rugby Football Union.
Provide an opportunity for the Philippine National Men’s Team to display their talents on home soil in front of a home crowd.
Establishing standards that are accepted by the Asian 5 Nations committee and providing a unique opportunity to develop the sport of Rugby Football Union throughout the Philippines.
