It is composed of 14 United Football League teams from, 7 Division I and 7 Division II clubs, with the aim of getting the teams some competitive games going into the UFL Cup. ^[1] It also features the U-23 Azkals as their preparation for the upcoming 2013 Southeast Asian Games. ^[2] Loyola declared as the cup winner by default against Global. ^[3]
