Congratulations to the DLSZ High School Football Team for clinching the championship title in the RIFA Phase 1 Open Tournament held last October 10, 2026 at International School Manila (ISM), BGC, Taguig City. 

The team completed a dominant, undefeated run throughout the entire tournament, securing victories in all four (4) of their group stage matches before capping off the campaign in style:

Group Stage Performance:

• 1-0 vs. Miriam College
• 5-1 vs. Assumption College
• 5-0 vs. School of the Holy Spirit / Woodrose
• 2-1 vs. International School Manila

In a high-stakes final, DLSZ once again faced off against defending champions ISM. The match tested the team’s patience, grit, and collective effort after ISM claimed a 1-0 lead at halftime. Refusing to step down, a driven DLSZ side took control in the second half, scoring three (3) unanswered goals to seal an impressive 3-1 comeback victory and complete a flawless tournament run.
