The 2013-14 United Football League Season will be one step closer to being ready, as the scheduled UFL Cup Draw is set to take place on this afternoon at Taguig.
27 teams are looking to attempt to prevent Ernie Nierras and Stallion FC from retaining their title, which is expected to commence in mid-October. Included in those 27 teams are guest teams who are not yet officially part of either Div I or II of the UFL, like the reigning PFF-SMART Club National champions Ceres-La Salle, returning surprise team General Trias International FC and newcomers Manila Jeepney FC.
The competition has two phases: the Group Stage and the Knockout rounds. The Group Stage will have the 28 participating teams sorted into seven groups of four teams, with a single round robin matches to take place. The teams have been tiered into four levels, based on their finish in the United Football League last season.
The top two teams of each group, and the two best third place teams of the Group Stage will then tangle in a single elimination knockout phase to eventually determine who will be hoisting the UFL Cup crown.
The 28 participating teams in their respective tiers are as follows:
Tier I: Stallion FC, Global FC, Loyola Meralco Sparks FC, Kaya FC, Pachanga Diliman FC, Green Archers United FC, PSG FC (a.k.a Pasargad)
Tier II: Nomads FC, Philippine Army FC, Philippine Air Force FC, Team Socceroo FC, Union Internacional-Manila, Forza FC, Agila FC
Tier III: Laos FC, Philippine Navy FC, Cimarron FC, Manila All-Japan FC, Dolphins United FC, Cebu Queen City United FC, Ceres-La Salle FC
Tier IV: Blue Guards FC, Bright Star FC, General Trias International FC, Manila Hurricanes FC, Manila Jeepney FC, Manila Tala FC, Mendiola FC 1991
