Team information

The Ateneo de Manila University is a member of the University Athletic Association of the Philippines, where it fields teams in all events. It was also a founding member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association in the 1920s.[citation needed] The Ateneo left the NCAA in 1978 due to the league-wide violence prevalent at the time, and then joined the UAAP in the same year.[5] UAAP logo: The dual-colored circles around the year 1938 represent the eight member-universities. ... The new NCAA logo introduced in the 2004-05 season; the five colored bands represent the five colors used by the member schools. ...


Aside from the UAAP, the Ateneo also participates in the Father Martin Cup, the Home and Away tournament, and the Shakey's V-League. Different university units also field teams in leagues such as RIFA (football), PAYA and PRADA (basketball), the Inter-MBA Friendship Games, various inter-university golf tournaments, and so on.[citation needed] The Ateneo also fields teams to the Jesuit Athletic Meet, an athletic meet of the different Jesuit schools in the Philippines. The Home and Away Invitational League (HAIL) is an intercollegiate basketball and volleyball league in the Philippines formed in 2004. ... The Shakeys V-League is an intercollegiate womens volleyball league in the Philippines formed in 2004 under the a management group led by former PBA commissioner Jun Bernardino and pizza company Shakeys. ...


Ateneo de Manila's teams were called the Blue and Whites until the late 1930s when the Ateneo adopted the Blue Eagle as its mascot.[1][2]


The choice of the color blue is clearly based on the Ateneo's colors.


The choice of an eagle holds iconic significance. .It is a reference to the "high-flying" basketball team which would "sweep the fields away" as a dominating force. Furthermore, there was some mythological— even political—significance to the eagle as a symbol of power..[6]


Rivals

The Blue Eagles have had many rivalries over time. Before the NCAA was founded, the Ateneans' fiercest basketball rivals were the UP Fighting Maroons.[7] The Fighting Maroons is the varsity team of the University of the Philippines, Diliman. ...


During the early days of the NCAA, the Blue Eagles developed a rivalry with the San Beda Red Lions as they traded championships in the 1930's. Then, a small rivalry began with the De La Salle Green Archers when they scored an upset win over Ateneo in the 1939-1940 season of the NCAA. After this, the Blue Eagles and the Red Lions would continue to win championships and other schools such as Jose Rizal College would come up with championship seasons of their own. That 1939 upset by De La Salle planted the seed to a new rivalry that continues to this day in the UAAP.[7] League NCAA and WNCAA Joined 1924 Seniors general championships NCAA: none Juniors general championships NCAA: 10 (1982-83, 1988-89, 1989-90, 1990-91, 1991-92, 1993-94, 1995-96, 1996-97, 1997-98, 2002-03) Location Mendiola, Manila (Srs. ...

The games between the Blue Eagles and the Green Archers are among the most anticipated matches in every UAAP season. Recently, the rivalry has picked up once more as both Ateneo and La Salle have become frequent Final Four participants,[citation needed] even clashing in the UAAP Finals in 2001 (won by La Salle) and 2002 (won by Ateneo). The UAAP is often guaranteed high TV ratings and high ticket sales when Ateneo and La Salle clash on the hardcourt.[citation needed]

Football

The football teams never had much success until the mid 1990's, when the men's team reached the UAAP finals 4 times in a row, from 1996-1999, winning in 1996 and 1999 against arch-rivals La Salle, and losing in the finals 1997 & 1998 finals to the Green Archers.


The re-birth of the Ateneo Football Team came in the 1995 season with the return of comeback players Vince Santos (1996 MVP), Blue Avelino and Jet Lacson, who joined returning 1994 team members (who finished last in the 1994 season) Domeka Garamendi, Rely San Agustin (team Captain) and Pat Moran. The team was further boosted by 5 rookies; Monch Espejo (1998-1999 MVP), Mark Ramos, Karlo Laurel and Tojun Malvar, who would occupy the 4 midfield positions for the next four years, and Jonji Castañeda who became the team captain the year after from a sweeper position.


With the departure of the 1996 seniors (San Agustin, Santos, Garamendi, Lacson), Castañeda and company took on the leadership role of the team, and with help from new blood in Paolo Aquino, Paolo Buendia and Carlo Santos, were able to regaing the title in 1999.


The 1999 team, also holds the record for most goals scored in a single UAAP game, scoring 41 in a 41-0 defeat of Adamson University.
