The Filoil Ecoil Sports released a statement on Monday morning pertaining to the Mapua Cardinals.
Statement is as follows:
Mapua University will be forfeiting its scheduled 1 p.m. game against Arellano University on Monday, Aug. 15 in the Filoil EcoOil Preseason Cup.
Six players have high fever and are in isolation for non-COVID-19-related illnesses, making the Cardinals unable to field a team for their match against the Chiefs.
This will be the second time that Mapua is forced to forfeit a game after its game against National University on Sunday, Aug. 14.
The team will once again be tested for the Cardinals' final game on Sunday, Aug. 20 against Emilio Aguinaldo College and those who receive negative antigen tests will be cleared to play for the said game.
Filoil EcoOil Sports is putting the health and safety of the participants at an utmost priority with regular antigen tests conducted among players, coaches, and staff with the government-mandated protocols pursuant to those agreed upon by the organizers, the city government of San Juan, and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) being consistently observed at the Filoil EcoOil Centre in San Juan.
The Cardinals have yet to win a game in this preseason tournament.
