The
Dream Match
Clear the pitch, the battle
starts—the country’s football stars go head to head.
A match for the ages, where athletes
from different fields, professional Football players, college players,
celebrities, and fans throughout the metro come together in the name of Football
and charity. It’s called the field of dreams for a reason, because with a field,
a ball, and a little imagination, anything can happen.
In light of the growth of Football
in the Philippines, this year, CLEAR Philippines celebrates the sport with the
nation’s first-ever CLEAR Dream Match. The first of its kind, the CLEAR Dream Match
will feature some of the best United Football League (UFL) players, members of
the Philippine Azkals, some of the best college players in the nation and Footballing
celebrities.
The two Dream Teams will be
led by CLEAR’s very own Phil and James Younghusband. The rivalry is on, and
it’s not just a match that will test their skills. The game favors the one with
a clearer head: focused, determined, and dandruff-Free.
“An all-star game is
something that I have always wanted to do in the Philippines,” says Philippine
Azkal and CLEAR endorser, James Younghusband.
“Being able to mount such an
event just goes to show how much Football has grown in the Philippines,” adds
Phil Younghusband.
The road to the Dream Match begins
with Football fans voting for their favorite players into the Dream Teams. CLEAR
has recruited a pool of 50 players which includes the likes of United Football
League stars Anton Del Rosario, Nate Burkey, Freddy Gonzales, Eric Dagroh; College
stars Patrick Deyto (DLSU), Miko Mabanag (Ateneo), and Shirmar Felongco (UST);
Kaya F.C and Guam national team member, Jonah Romero; Andrew Wolff and Eric Tai
from the Philippine Volcanoes; Brazilian models and members of Socceroo F.C, Daniel
Matsunaga and Fabio Ide; celebrity host Paolo Bediones, members of Boys Night
Out, and other outstanding players in the local Football scene.

Aside from giving fans a Football
spectacle, the game is also for the benefit of the Tuloy Sa Don Bosco
Foundation—the organization known for sending a Football team to the Homeless
World Cup.
“The CLEAR Dream Match is
the first of its kind. Some of the best Football players in the scene playing
in one game - it’s going to be an amazing show and truly a game for the history
books.” Says John Imperial, CLEAR Brand Manager.
It’s on. The road to the
Dream begins now.
