History
edit
When football was introduced, for the first time, to the Filipinos by the British at the end of the 19th century and after the Spanish–American War ended, new and new football teams started to emerge. Among them, the Sandow Team which was established in 1906[1][3] and participated in what was the first official match in the Philippines on the 15th of October in 1907 to celebrate the opening of the Philippine Assembly. The match took place at the Manila Carnival Grounds and the Sandow Team was awarded a trophy, a silver cup by the then Governor William Howard Taft for winning the contest. The Sandow members began to accommodate new athletic activities and renamed the team Sandow Athletic Club in 1909.[2] Football, nonetheless, saw the birth of new clubs, like Bohemian SC in 1910 and it's popularity continued to grow, so much that it was organized a first National Championship in 1911. Sandow was a participant in those years but was never able to top its rivals to become champions. However, the club fielded players that were called to represent the Philippines in the 1913 Far Eastern Championship Games, Henry Doland, T. Robles, Angel Garchitorrena and Damaso Garcia who was the first ever captain of the Filipino National Team and scorer of the 2-1 winning goal against China.[4] Sandow, along with Bohemian, is the team that gave its contribution in the Philippines' only football gold medal win in the tournament, which saw its last edition in 1934. Sandow was, alongside the football section of Manila Jockey Club (1900s), Manila Sporting Club (1906), Bohemian Sporting Club (1910), Manila Nomads Sports Club (1914) and Aurora Athletic Club (1910s) one of the team that pioneered the sport of football in the Philippines.[5]
