Notably, this year introduces a new sustainability dimension with the Wasteless Campaign in collaboration with Coca-Cola Beverages Philippines, Inc. (CCBPI), promoting the "Tapon to Ipon: Basta Klaro, Panalo!"

This campaign encourages the recycling of clear PET plastic bottles at designated drop-off points, aligning with Aboitiz’s commitment to environmental stewardship.

During the first day of the tournament, Makati Football Club (MFC) Cebu delivered a dominant 12-0 win against Don Bosco FC-A, setting the tone for an exciting season.

The season will culminate in a special exhibition match in February 2025 in Cebu, where the champion teams from the Players 16 and 18 Boys categories in each region will face off, celebrating the spirit of sportsmanship and unity.

With the return of the AFC to Cebu after a four-year break, and its nationwide expansion, Season 24 promises to inspire a new generation of athletes who are champions of both football and environmental stewardship.

This expansion became a reality with the tournament taking place simultaneously in Luzon and Visayas, held at the newly inaugurated Aboitiz Pitch in Lipa, Batangas and Cebu, respectively.
