The Philippine Football Federation has terminated its agreement with the organizers of the Philippine Football League last Friday.

The decision came following the withdrawal of two licensed clubs, Global Makati and Stallion Laguna.

PFF officials said they are taking steps to ensure the continuation of the 2019 national league season.

The national federation awarded the right to operate the national league to Philippine Premier League management headed by its commissioner Bernie Sumayao.

The federation has already notified Triple CH Holdings Co. Ltd., through its chairman Bernard Sumayao, and the current five licensed clubs, namely Ceres Negros FC, Kaya FC-Iloilo, Stallion Laguna FC, Global Cebu FC, and Green Archers United FC, about its decision.

The league reverts to its official name, Philippines Football League.

Games are scheduled in the middle of May 2019.

The PFF assured the football community that the league will continue its deliberate strides to be a successful national league.

The winners of the league will be eligible for nomination by PFF to compete in Asian Football Confederation competitions in 2020 and the years to come.

Seven teams led by Ceres-Negros FC are supposed to be taking part in the inaugural season of the tournament.

Sumayao said the participants will join both the League Competition and Paulino Alcantara Cup.
