On Monday, July 13, 2026, American Corner Iloilo (ACI) kicked off the AC Iloilo Football Friendship Tournament 2026 at the Henry Luce III Library, American Corner Iloilo under the theme FREEDOM250. The opening day set a powerful foundation for cross-regional sports development, highlighted by warm welcomes from CPU President Rev. Dr. Ernest Howard B. Dagohoy and a celebrated partnership address by Dr. Ma. Cynthia T. Peleña (Director of CPU Libraries and ACI) alongside Ms. Maria Cristeta R. Llacuna (Director of the MMSU Library System and AC Batac).
The event immediately shifted from ceremony to strategy with a dynamic "Meet the Experts" panel discussion, serving as the perfect launchpad for grassroots football and futsal dialogue. Seasoned professionals Mr. Michael Kevin Goco (FIFA Master Alumni), Engr. Marc Hermel G. Agriam (CPU Sports Director), Dr. James Paul T. Madigal (MMSU Futsal Coach), and Dr. Robert A. Salvador (MMSU Football Coach) engaged in an active forum with student-athletes, local clubs like Iloilo United FC, Cabatuan, and AlleyKicks, and partners from AC Batac—sparking vital conversations on athletic management and sports science just before the tournament matches officially take the field.
