Filipino clubs Ceres Negros FC and Global FC will begin their respective group campaigns in the Asian Football Confederation (AFC) Cup as they face separate foes today. Despite being booted out of contention in the top club football competition in the continent, Global FC wants to prove its worth in the tournament for developing football nations. “The AFC Champions League was a perfect combination. We had two matches there, so it was a good preparation for us,” said Global FC skipper Misagh Bahadoran in a news conference on Monday. “Our coach is already fixing the problems that we have in terms of positioning and spacing of players so now we can play in a better way here in the AFC Cup,” he added.
