List Of Filipino Football Champions
The historical absence of a continuously operating national league and a multi-division football system has made it difficult to truly determine and recognize the highest level tournament of the Philippines. The Philippine Football Federation, the governing body of football in the Philippines, has held men's national championship tournaments in various forms since 1911. The latest of these national tournaments is the National Men's Club Championship, which was started in 2011. These annual championship tournaments are not regularly recurring professional leagues, but are usually the only notable football competitions occurring in the country for that year. The winners of these tournaments are therefore considered the '' de facto'' football champions of the Philippines. Given the complex history of football in the Philippines, this article takes into account all notable "national" football competitions organized by the Philippine Football Federation.
