Cebu FC Embarks on Critical Thailand Campaign in Asean Club Championship
Cebu Football Club (FC) is set to compete in Thailand over the next two weeks as part of its ongoing participation in the 2025-2026 Asean Club Championship Shopee Cup. This international tournament features top clubs from across Southeast Asia, and Cebu FC's matches are crucial for their progression in the competition.
Upcoming Fixtures Against Thai Opponents
The Gentle Giants will first face BG Pathum United on Wednesday, January 28, 2026, at the Pathum Thani Stadium in Pathum Thani. Following this encounter, the team will travel to Buriram to take on Buriram United at the Buriram Stadium the subsequent week. These back-to-back away games present a significant challenge for Cebu FC as they navigate the group stage.
Desperate Search for First Victory in Shopee Cup
After a winless performance last year, Cebu FC is still seeking its inaugural triumph in the Shopee Cup. In their most recent match on December 3, they managed a 1-1 draw against Selangor FC, securing their first point in Group A. However, with their current standing, the team is in dire need of a win to maintain any hope of advancing beyond the group stage.
Current Group A Standings and Implications
Cebu FC currently occupies the bottom position in Group A with just one point. At the top of the group, Singapore's Tampines Rovers lead with six points, closely followed by Malaysia's Selangor FC with five points. In third place, BG Pathum United holds four points, tied with Vietnam's Cong An Hanoi FC, while Buriram United sits in fifth with three points. This tight race underscores the importance of Cebu FC's upcoming matches, as victories could dramatically shift the standings and keep their championship dreams alive.
