Leyte Football Club Teams to Compete in Norway Cup 2026 with Funding from Robinsons Land

The Leyte Association of Organized Sports Football Club will send its boys' and girls' teams to the Norway Cup 2026 in Oslo from July 25 to August 1. Both squads will compete in the Under-19 category with 16 players each, accompanied by a head coach, assistant coach, goalkeeping coach, physiotherapist, and doctor.

Robinsons Land Corporation is covering the costs of uniforms, equipment, venues, training, and travel expenses.

The company operates malls and hotels in Tacloban City and maintains a longstanding presence in Leyte. It established the Robinsons Sports and Leisure division to support such initiatives. “Our work with LAOS FC reflects the kind of initiatives we want RSL to support: efforts built with care, purpose, and a clear focus on giving young Filipinos access to training, competition, and experiences that help them grow on and off the field,” said Ramon Rivero, Robinsons Land chief strategist and general manager of Robinsons Sports and Leisure.

Many LAOS FC players attend Ateneo de Manila University, the University of Santo Tomas, Miriam College High School, and the University of the East. The Norway Cup is described as the world’s largest youth soccer tournament. Robinsons Land is also developing the eight-story Helios Pickleball Center in Bridgetowne, Pasig, which will include tournament-grade courts, shops, and dining areas.

“Robinsons Sports and Leisure reflects how we see the next evolution of community-building,” said Mybelle V. Aragon-GoBio, president and CEO of Robinsons Land, in a press release.
