Collegiate stars get Azkals call-up for Taiwan tilt

MANILA, Philippines—Some collegiate football stars have received call-ups to the men's national football team ahead of the four-nation Chinese-Taipei Football Association (CTFA) International Tournament on December 1 to 5 in Taipei.

The Philippines will play against host Chinese-Taipei, Laos, and Timor Lester. All of the tier 1, "A" matches will be held at Municipal Stadium in the capital city.

Ateneo star Jarvey Gayoso has been called up to suit up for the men's national team that will play in a Chinese-Taipei tournament that starts on Saturday. Josh Albelda, ABS-CBN Sports.
