How registration works
Four steps, and you never have to enter the same information twice. Save as you go — close the page after practice and everything is waiting when you come back.
- 1
Create your representative account
Enter your email. We send you a password and the link to your portal. Add your contact details and a photo of your ID.
- 2
Register your team
Team name, club or school, and the division you are entering. One team per division — a club can still enter several divisions.
- 3
Pay to reserve the slot
Transfer the ₱20,000 non-refundable down payment by bank transfer no later than Nov 4, 2026, and upload the receipt to send your registration. A team cannot be submitted without it. DBF verifies it, usually within a working day. The ₱20,000 balance is due Nov 18, 2026.
- 4
Build your roster
Add up to 12 players with their documents and submit by Nov 18, 2026. We confirm when your team is tournament ready.
What you need to have ready
Player documents, photos and details make up your team gallery. All of it is due with your lineup by Nov 18, 2026.
For the team
- Team name and the club or school it represents
- Official address of the club or school
- Head coach, assistant coach and team manager names

- Height, weight, school and playing position
- A clear 2x2 photo on a white background
- PSA-issued certificate of live birth. A late-registered birth may be accepted if it was registered within a year of the date of birth and is backed by a baptismal or equivalent certificate, or elementary or secondary school records
- Signed waiver on the DBF template, signed by the player and their natural or adoptive father or mother, or legal guardian, with that parent's or guardian's ID and three specimen signatures
An adoptive father or mother is one whose adoption of the player went through judicial or administrative proceedings. A legal guardian is one appointed by a competent court.
The age rule
Divisions go by year of birth — each one is open to players born in its year or later. Younger players can play up into an older division. Older players cannot play down.
The portal checks every birth date as you add a player, so an over-age entry cannot reach your roster.
Juanmigborn 11 August 2014
Plays 12U, and may play up in 13U, 14U, 16U or 18U.
Johnnyborn 12 November 2013
Cannot play 12U, which is for players born 2014 or later. Plays 13U or older.
If you are unsure which division a player belongs in, use the checker on this page before you add them to your roster.
