Division 2 is disbanded for this season with all teams competing in one division.Guerrero Bob What to expect in Philippine football in 2016 https://www.rappler.com/sports/football/118879-what-to-expect-philippine-football-2016/ 13 January 2016 Rappler 13 January 2016 The league competition, which started on April 30 and ended on October 24, followed a pure double round robin match with no play-offs. For this edition the foreign player cap is reduced to four from five foreign players in a playing squad of 18 players, including 7 substitutes. At least one of the four maximum allowable foreign players must be from the Asian country. This was to align to the guidelines followed at the AFC Cup and AFC Champions League. However, a club with more than 25 players may have more than four foreign players in their whole squad provided that they comply with the 4-player foreign player limit rule during match day. Global F.C. won the league with one game to spare. The 2016 season was the last UFL season following the appointment of UFL President Randy Roxas as part of the task force for the upcoming Philippines Football League which had its inaugural season in 2017.Ceres FC ready to apply for PFL license http://visayandailystar.com/2016/October/15/sportnews1.htm 16 October 2016 The Visayan Daily Star 15 October 2016 18 October 2016 https://web.archive.org/web/20161018220951/http://visayandailystar.com/2016/October/15/sportnews1.htm dead Venue Matches are played at the Rizal Memorial Stadium.
