Yanson throwing hat in PFF polls
MANILA, Philippines — Football godfather Ricky Yanson batted for the development of football at the grassroots level as he declared his intention to run for president when the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) holds its election of officers on Nov. 29.
“Developing football at the grassroots level is the way to go if we want to have a successful program,” said Yanson, president of the Negros Occidental Football Association.
A total of 29 football associations all over the country will gather during the polls to elect their president, vice president and board of governors. Football associations from Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao will have five representatives each in the PFF board.
Yanson has been in talks with current PFF president Mariano “Nonong” Araneta, who had shared to Yanson that he opted not to seek another term and instead run for vice president.
“I hope that with sir Nonong running for vice president, we will have a good partnership,” said Yanson. “He was the one who encouraged me to run as PFF president.”
