[3] The Coke Go For Goal was introduced by FIFA in Asia four years earlier in Hong Kong, and its iteration in the Philippines followed the West German government's football development program which prematurely ended in 1981.
[4] Several future Philippine national team players credited the program for giving them their first competitive football experience including Yanti Bersales, Roel Gener, Eduard Sacapaño, Kim Relucio, and Emelio Caligdong.
The program also known as "Kasibulan 6-12" was oriented on the development of football players aged 6 to 12 years old and also included the conduct of seminars, courses, clinics, and camps for instructors.
Adad initiated the program in cooperation of Bernd Fischer, a consultant from the German Football Association and had government support from the then-Department of Education, Culture and Sports as a working partner.
