MANILA, Philippines – Football fans are starting to fill up the Rizal Memorial Stadium in Manila as they prepare to cheer for the Philippine Azkals when the Filipino footballers play against Kuwait Al-Azraq on Thursday night.
"Patuloy ang pagdagsa ng mga tao sa Rizal Memorial stadium at dumarating din yung mga iba't ibang grupo ng kabataan na may kanya-kanyang mga gimik para ipakita ang kanilang tulong suporta sa Philippine Football team Azkals,” reported dzMM’s Henry Atuelan.
Atuelan said most of the Azkals die hard fans arriving at the stadium were wearing white shirt and face paint.
Some fans even brought Philippine flags which will be waved when the game kicks off at 7 p.m.
Members of the Azkals support group, Kaholeros, also brought along drums which will be used in cheering the Philippine football team.
Organizers are expecting thousands of Filipinos to occupy the historic stadium, where the Azkals defeated the Sri Lanka Brave Reds early this month.
Almost 13,000 fans crammed Rizal Memorial Stadium during that game that saw the Azkals beating Sri Lanka, 4-0.
Heavy traffic
DzMM’s Dexter Ganibe, meanwhile, reported that vehicular traffic around the Rizal Memorial Sports Complex is getting heavy.
He said the Manila Police District (MPD) Traffic Division is urging Azkals fans not to take the P. Ocampo and Adriatico Streets because of traffic congestion.
“Sinabi ni Chief Inspector Reynaldo Nava, hepe ng traffic division, na may paradahan sa Harrison Plaza at kapag napuno na ito ay sa bisinidad na ng Cultural Center of the Philippines na maaring i-park yung kanilang sasakyan at maglakad na lamang patungo dito sa Rizal Memorial Stadium,” said Ganibe.
Traffic flow in F.B. Harrison St. and Roxas Boulevard service road is now being affected by the congestion around the sports complex.
