History

CF Manila is an offshoot of the Azkals Development Team (ADT) led by former Philippines international and coach Stephan Schröck.[1] Despite ADT's departure mid-season from the 2022–23 Philippines Football League, the club expressed intention of joining the 2023 iteration of the Copa Paulino Alcantara.[2] ADA itself would not be part of the draw.[3]

Instead, Schröck formed a new club from the core players of ADA named Inter Manila to compete in the cup tournament. Days prior to the start of the tournament, Inter Manila changed their name to Club de Fútbol Manila, after a namesake club released a statement in early July 2023. The other club clarified they would not be joining the Copa and noted usage of its name "without authorization".[1]
