La Salle and Ateneo’s fierce varsity rivalry spills over into the pitch when the First Terry Razon Copa Filipina football tournament kicks off on Sunday at the Philsport field in Pasig City.

Barred from vying against each other in the University Athletics Association of the Philippines (UAAP) football competitions, the two arch rivals are among the 12 top Metro Manila teams seeing action in the event organized by the National Capital Region Football Association (NCRFA) in honor of the late Terry Razon.
