Roberto Sagun "Papuh" Corsame Jr. (born 14 December 1996) is a Filipino professional footballer who plays either as a winger or a full-back for Dynamic Herb Cebu of the Philippines Football League. [3] [4] He has also played for the youth teams of the Philippines. [1]
Corsame was born in Tondo, Manila, where he played "FutKal" due to the lack of space for football pitches. [5] In 2010, he was one of the candidates who was in contention to carry the FIFA flag during the 2010 FIFA World Cup. [2]
Corsame played college football for the Chiefs, the team of Arellano University. [6] [7] The team participated in the NCAA, with Corsame leading them in attack to their first-ever and to date only college title in 2016. [8] He would graduate from the university in 2018, after leading them to another final. [9] [10] He also played for the Arellano juniors team during the 2013 Palarong Pambansa. [11]
In 2014, Corsame first played club football in the United Football League Division 2, playing for Dolphins United. Before joining Mendiola, he would also participate in tournaments for Flame United alongside other PFL players. [12] [13] Corsame was also active in grassroots football in his local community, as one of the main players of Tondo Football Club and helping kids discover the game. [14] He would also play for Tondo in the 7's Football League. [15]
After a short break, Corsame joined Mendiola 1991, a new team in the Philippines Football League, which was composed primarily of players from Corsame's college rivals San Beda. [16] He was a vital player for Mendiola, initially playing in the short-lived Philippine Premier League before helping them to a 5th-place finish overall in the PFL, [17] and was also important during the club's run to the semifinals of the 2019 Copa Paulino Alcantara. [18]
In 2020, Corsame left Mendiola to join then 2nd-placers Kaya F.C.–Iloilo as a reinforcement for the club's campaign in the 2020 AFC Cup. [19] [20] However, the tournament was cut short due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He played for the club during the 2020 edition of the Philippines Football League which was held in a bubble.
After leaving Kaya, he signed for newly formed Dynamic Herb Cebu which was looking to participate in the Philippines Football League. [21] [22] [4] In the 2022–23 season, he established himself as an important presence at the club and helped them to a 2nd-place finish, qualifying for the AFC Cup for the first time. [23] [24]
Due to his performances for Arellano, he was first called up to the Philippines U-23 in the 2018 AFC U-23 Qualifiers against China, Japan, and Cambodia. [1] [25] [26] He played again for the U23s later that year in the 2017 Southeast Asian Games, making his debut in a 2–0 win over Cambodia after subbing in for Troy Limbo. [27] [28] [29] [30]
The Philippines Football League (PFL) is a men's professional football league in the Philippines. Sanctioned by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF) and organized by Liga Futbol Inc., it is the country's primary football competition. In 2024, it will be contested by 15 clubs, from April 6 to July 14. The league does not have a system of promotion and relegation. All PFL clubs also take part in the Copa Paulino Alcantara, the annual domestic cup competition.
The 2017 Philippines Football League was the inaugural season of the Philippines Football League (PFL), the professional football league of the Philippines. The league was officially launched on April 21, 2017, at Shangri-La at the Fort in Taguig, while the first match of the season was played on May 6. The PFL replaced the Metro Manila-based United Football League (UFL), which served as the country's de facto top-level football league from 2009 to 2016. The league was made up of 8 clubs: 6 from the UFL and 2 expansion teams. Each club played the others four times, twice at their home ground and twice at that of their opponents', for 28 games. The teams that finished the season in the top four entered a playoff tournament to determine the league's champion.
The 2018 Philippines Football League was the second season of the Philippines Football League (PFL), the professional football league of the Philippines. The season started on March 3 and concluded on August 25. The league was contested by six teams from last season's eight, after Meralco Manila and Ilocos United withdrew before the season began.
The Philippine Premier League (PPL) was a short-lived top-flight association football league in the Philippines sanctioned by the Philippine Football Federation (PFF). It was intended as a successor league to the Philippines Football League (PFL) which ran for two seasons. The first and only PPL season had a single match day on April 27, 2019 before it was folded, after the PFF withdrew its sanction of the league.
The 2019 Philippines Football League was the third season of the Philippines Football League (PFL), the professional football league of the Philippines. Ceres–Negros are the defending champions. This marks the revival of the Philippines Football League as the league folded after the 2018 season to give way for the Philippine Premier League, intended as a successor league to the PFL, which proved to be short-lived.
