STEPHAN Schrock seeks glory once again in the Philippine Football League (PFL) presented by Qatar Airways with his new club.
And while the name is different, the players are mostly the same ones he seeks to lead United City to an impressive debut as the 2020 season unfolds in the league’s bubble.
Schrock is one of 16 United City players who joined the club following the transfer of ownership from Ceres-Negros FC.
Despite being part of a new team, Schrock said the will to win another title, even if it is a short schedule, remains the same.

With Schrock at the helm and with businessman-athlete Leo Rey Yanson as the club’s owner, the Busmen won three league crowns. In 2019, Ceres took home a gold double when she also claimed the Paulino Alcantara Cup.
Since then, a group of foreign investors has taken over ownership and management and renamed it United City FC.
The club debuts with a match against Maharlika Manila on Sunday at 8:30 p.m.
“Everyone happy, healthy and fit. It was difficult for them to be mentally fresh, but the guys did not lose motivation and discipline during the run, “said Schrock.

Schrock also thanked the Philippine Soccer Federation and the PFL led by Commissioner Coco Torre.
“Hats off to the PFF, the league and the commissioner in working toward the fulfillment of this event. This is lighting up local football, which is why we give credit to the PFF, the PFL and the people behind it, ”he said.
