Manila Montet Football Club is a Philippines professional football club based in Metro Manila. The club last played in the Philippines Football League, the top flight league of football in the Philippines.

History

[edit]

The club is owned by The Montet Group, under the management of Thomas Vivian Montet, a French businessman who moved to the Philippines.[3]

In 2023, it was reported that Manila Montet was applying for a license to be able to join the Philippines Football League for the 2024 season.[4] In February 2024, the league confirmed their participation making their first ever debut in the top-flight league.[5] Manila Montet are planning to field an all Filipino squad for their debut season in the league.

The club was accused of mismanagement, and providing insufficient financial compensation for its players.[6] Head coach Eliezer Fabroada left after their 1–4 loss in their first game against One Taguig. His deputy, Mark Dennis Balbin was promoted, and later left his position for a new role in futsal in Tondo.[6]

Manila Montet did not take part in the succeeding 2024–25 PFL season.
