The Philippine Peace Cup was a four-nation international football competition organized by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) which involved the national teams of the Philippines and three invitees. The inaugural edition took place in 2012, replacing the annual Long Teng Cup. The tournament took place around September to celebrate peace month in the Philippines.[1]

Tournament name

The 2012 edition of the third annual Long Teng Cup was given to Philippines by the Chinese Taipei Football Association (CTFA).[2] The PFF then renamed it as the Paulino Alcántara Cup,[3] after Filipino–Spanish football legend who played for Barcelona. It was again renamed to the Paulino Alcántara Peace Cup, and eventually to the Philippine Peace Cup, in accordance to a rule against events being named after an individual by the Philippine Sports Commission, which operates the Rizal Memorial Stadium where the tournament was held.[1] As the tournament celebrated peace month, the presidential adviser on the country's peace process played a role in the naming.[4]

Broadcasting

ABS-CBN was the official TV partner of the Peace Cup, airing the matches involving the Philippines on Studio 23 and other matches via international broadcasters, from 2012 to 2013. Starting from 2014, ABS-CBN Sports and Action aired the games.
