Far Eastern University wrapped up its elimination round campaign in the most low-maintenance way possible, as Forza’s default handed the Lady Tamaraws a walkover in the PFF Futsaliga presented by the Philippine Sports Commission.
The result at the House of Futsal in Philsports Arena was inconsequential in terms of FEU’s standing, as they had already secured the top spot. Still, it capped an unbeaten run in the women’s division, further solidifying them as the clear favorites heading into the Cup semifinals.
Beach Hut FC kept the pressure on with a 3-1 victory over Azzurri, finishing the elimination round in second place and firmly staying in contention. Samantha Toledo starred in the win, as her late brace proved decisive and earned her the Bootcamp Player of the Match award. Her match-winning performance capped a strong campaign for Beach Hut, who now carry genuine semifinal ambitions into May 10.
Azkals Development Club also secured their Cup semifinal berth with a composed 4-1 win over the University of Makati, highlighted by national team standout Shai del Campo, who delivered a brace. Del Campo’s performance reinforced her quality at this level and underlined ADC’s attacking firepower heading into the knockout stage.
The most gripping match of the Women’s Division match day came in the clash between Enderun Colleges and Philippine Women’s University, a tense 4-3 encounter that had everything. Enderun needed the win to secure their Cup semifinal slot, and captain Kry Palangpangan delivered, setting the tone with a crucial second-half brace that put her side in control.
Enderun held on to claim their fourth win of the elimination round and book the final ticket to the Cup semifinals. PWU, despite a spirited performance from El Tolentino, will now shift their focus to the Plate race.
The Women’s Division Cup semifinal pairings are set: FEU vs. Enderun Colleges, and ADC vs. Beach Hut. FEU, ADC, and Beach Hut maintained their 1-2-3 positions in the final standings, while Enderun’s clutch win over PWU completed the semifinal bracket.

The men’s match day produced its share of standout moments, beginning with Enderun Colleges’ authoritative 7-3 dismantling of Philippine Women’s University, a result that secured second place for the Titans and a Cup semifinal berth.
Leading the charge was Theo Appiah, who delivered a hat-trick performance that was as clinical as it was decisive. Appiah’s output anchored a dominant Enderun display, with the Titans carrying strong momentum into the semifinals.
The afternoon’s most dramatic match came in the clash between Tondo and ADC, a fiercely contested encounter that ended in a 3-3 draw.
Both sides pushed relentlessly in search of a winner that never came, but it was Tondo’s MJ Libre who delivered the most memorable moment—scoring a last-gasp equalizer that earned him the Bootcamp Player of the Match award.
For ADC, the draw was enough. They closed the elimination round unbeaten and at the top of the Men’s Division table, entering the semifinals as the team everyone must beat.
PUP Radicals also finished the elimination round in emphatic fashion, routing Sporting QC, 12-1, in a ruthless display. Sean Edison Micarte led the scoring barrage for the Radicals, who ended their campaign on a high note and now turn their attention to the Plate semifinals.
The most consequential result of the men’s division match day, however, was the University of Asia and the Pacific’s 6-2 victory over UMak. The Dragons needed the win to leapfrog Tondo FC—who were held to a draw by ADC—and secure the final Cup semifinal ticket.
In a key subplot, goalkeeper Carlos Tiu stood out in UA&P’s balanced attacking performance, delivering an impact that went beyond his defensive duties. UA&P now faces ADC in the Cup semifinals.
The men’s division Cup semifinals are set: ADC vs. UA&P, and Enderun Colleges vs. PWU—a rematch that promises even greater intensity.
The Cup and Plate semifinals of both the women’s and men’s divisions are scheduled for May 10 at Philsports Arena, with matches beginning at 8:00 AM. Fans are encouraged to arrive early to catch the next chapter of the PFF Futsaliga 2026 season.
