Last July 12, the Ateneo de Manila High School Aspirants A Football Team emerged as champion of the St. Ignatius Cup Festival of Football, Aspirants A Division. Making the victory sweeter was the fact that Ateneo’s win came at the expense of FEU-FERN, their arch-rivals in football. The final score was Ateneo-1, FEU-FERN 0. Ateneo’s winning goal was scored via penalty shootout in the game that was held at the Ateneo High School Football Field.
