Meet Wilbert Latoy, currently balling for Hageby IF a Div. 5 Östergötland Östra(East) team, and here is his story. Wilbert, like any footballer worth his salt has always been driven to play for their National Team. Not knowing about the Azkals until a few months ago, he has now made it his new goal to play for the national team, but to do this, he knows he has to show what he's got in the growing local league, the UFL. He harbors no doubts that if given a chance he can succeed and in the process receive an invitation to the national team. But first things first!

A little history: Wilbert, or Berto to his friends, hails from Leyte. He has been playing football since he could remember. As a preteen until he was 17 yo he was in the youth team of Sweden's IF Sylvia then in the Superettan, the 2nd highest league in Sweden. Having quit football for two years, his fortuitous return to his home city for work  and his love for the game saw him play football again. From then until now his boots constantly see the pitch, this time for Hageby IF. Quite recently, Berto informed me that a scout from IK Sleipner a Div. 1 Södra(South) team offered him a contract to train with the team but unfortunately it was neither long enough nor good enough to justify another team move, plus his goal to play in the UFL was what was in his crosshair now.

Berto suffered a somewhat serious setback earlier in the year when he had a foot injury, but he has assured me that he is now fit and has started to play with his team again. When he arrives in the Philippines he says he would be 100%. Oh and see the pic below, he'll be bringing in a team mate who wants to tryout for the UFL, this one plays in a higher league than he does. Ladies it might be one of these guys!

So UFL teams who are wanting to upgrade your team for the Cup or the next season, Berto and friend will be in country by late August. At this time, two Division 1 teams are interested in giving Berto and friend a tryout. All other teams whether Div 1 or 2 are welcome to give him a tryout too. If interested and you are a UFL team rep, please email me or leave a comment below for your contact info(I will not post it/confidential).

The Caveat: I AM NOT AN AGENT, I neither charge a fee or demand anything from these guys or the team(a signed team jersey would be great though)! So what are you waiting for? Give Berto and friend a tryout!
