All statistics correct as of March 8, 2024.

The previous season saw the Davao side, now currently based in the University of Makati Stadium, make a return to the professional scene by participating in the 2023 Copa Paulino Alcantara, where they made a fairytale run to the final before losing in a rematch against Kaya–Iloilo in extra time. The club also reaffirmed their partnership with Japanese side Shonan Bellmare that initially started in 2018.[2] The club's core, including Serge Kaole, Paolo Bugas, and Troy Limbo, were signed to brief tournament-long contracts, and departed the club for other PFL clubs joining in the expanded season. The team made a number of foreign signings including Japanese defender Shoma Sato and midfielder So Omae.[3] The club's biggest acquisition was Philippine national team defender Daisuke Sato, who signed from Persib Bandung with the intention of establishing an academy in the country, called the Sato DAFC UMAK football school.[4][5]
