UAAP Season 86 unveils theme 'Fueling the Future' ahead of opening day

UAAP Season 86 is set to open on September 30.

With the new season also comes its newest theme 'Fueling the Future' unveiled by the league on Friday.

"With the theme "Fueling the Future," UAAP Season 86 underscores its commitment to being the driving force behind the development of future professional athletes and national team mainstays. It proudly serves as the stepping stone, the training ground, and the building block for athletes who aspire to reach the pinnacle of their careers," the league said in a statement.

The league said the initials of the new theme also coincided with the term 'face-to-face' as the schools return on-site after the lockdowns brought by the COVID-19 pandemic.

The UAAP is expected to open with the basketball season as the Ateneo de Manila University will try to defend their title.

University of the East is the host for UAAP Season 86.
